Aftercare

Unless you have been advised otherwise:

• Keep your skincare simple and gentle.

• Avoid touching, picking or exfoliating the treated area.

• Do not use retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs or other active ingredients until advised.

• Avoid excessive heat, including saunas, steam rooms and very hot showers.

• Avoid strenuous exercise for the timeframe stated in your aftercare email.

• Avoid swimming until your skin has settled or as advised.

• Protect your skin from direct sun exposure.

• Apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning.

• Avoid introducing new skincare products while your skin is recovering.

• Do not apply makeup until the timeframe recommended for your treatment.

Temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity, dryness, flaking or mild swelling can be a normal part of the skin’s response following certain treatments. The expected response and recovery time will depend on the procedure you received.

Your personalised aftercare is sent to the email address connected to your booking.

Please check:

• Your inbox

• Your junk or spam folder

• The email address entered when booking

If you have not received it, please email amy@sknbyamycole.com and include your name and the treatment you received.

For the best possible outcome:

• Follow the homecare advice provided.

• Attend treatments at the recommended intervals.

• Do not use additional active products without checking first.

• Tell me about any changes to your health, medication or skincare before your next appointment.

• Contact me before booking another procedure if you are unsure whether enough time has passed.

Results vary from person to person and often depend on a combination of professional treatment, consistent homecare and allowing the skin enough time to respond.

Please contact me if:

• Your reaction feels significantly different from what was explained.

• Redness, swelling, discomfort or irritation becomes increasingly severe.

• You develop blistering, weeping, significant crusting or symptoms of infection.

• You are concerned about how your skin is healing.

• You are unsure which products you can restart.

• You have not received your treatment-specific aftercare email.

For urgent or severe symptoms, seek appropriate medical assistance rather than waiting for an email response.

• Your full name

• The treatment and date
