Aftercare Instructions
Microneedling / Microchanneling Facial
- CLEAN – Use a gentle cleanser and tepid water to cleanse the face for 72 hours post-treatment, and gently dry the treated skin. Always make sure your hands are clean when touching the treated area, and do not use a Clarisonic or other powered cleansing brushes for at least one week after your treatment.
- HEAL – We recommend serum antioxidants post-treatment, as its properties are ideal to help heal the skin by soothing and lessening irritation.
- HYDRATE – Following your Microneedling treatment, your skin may feel drier than normal. Hyaluronic Acid is an ideal ingredient you can use to hydrate and restore the skin back to perfect balance.
- STIMULATE – In the days following your Microneedling treatment, and as the skin starts to regenerate, collagen-stimulating peptides are ideal to maximize the effects of the stimulation already started by the microneedling.
- MAKEUP – We recommend you do not apply makeup for 24 to 72 hours after the procedure. In addition, do not apply any makeup with a makeup brush, especially if the brush is not clean.
- PROTECT – Immediately after the procedure, your skin professional will apply a broad spectrum UVA/UVB, SPF 25 or greater sunscreen to your skin. We recommend a chemical-free sunscreen. Keep in mind that you should continue to use a sunscreen everyday.
- To ensure the proper healing environment, DO NOT use any; Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula)
- Do not exfoliate, use scrubs or anything perceived as “active” skincare for one week post treatment.
- Do not use any powered cleansing brushes like Clarisonic for one week post treatment.
- Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 72 hours.
- No tanning beds.
- Do not go swimming for at least 1 week post-treatment.
- Do not exercise or participate in strenuous activity for the first 72 hours post-treatment. Sweating and gym environments in general are harmful and filled with bacteria, which may cause adverse reactions in your skin.

Lash Extensions
The best thing you can do to extend the life of your lash extensions is keep them clean. It’s important to cleanse your lashes and lash line thoroughly on a daily basis to remove any oils, product or debris that can affect retention and cause infection or irritation
Do
- Cleanse your lash line daily with a gentle lash extension safe cleanser(avoid micellar waters, Neutrogena or anything oil based)
- Remove your makeup before bed. Any makeup left on your face can transfer to your lashes while you sleep.
- Brush your lashes daily or after getting them wet to avoid tangles and maintain the fluffy look.
- Avoid wearing mascara on your extensions or lower lashes(it transfers). If you must, apply only to the tips of the extensions avoiding the base and make sure the mascara IS NOT waterproof.
- Avoid excessive heat. Ex: Ovens, boiling water, hair dryers/straighteners, fire, lighters. Saunas and steam during facials is ok after 48 hours!
- Always rinse your lashes as soon as possible after going to the pool or beach. The chlorine and salt in the water and air can weaken the bonds of your lashes.
- Sleep on your back. Laying on your lashes can cause fallout or bends in the extensions.
Don't
- Get your lash extensions wet for 24 hours. This is top priority if you want to avoid major fall out.
- Use saunas, steam, or tanning beds for 48 hours
- Sweat excessively for 24 hours(avoid workouts if possible)
- Rub/touch your eyes in excess or pull off lash extensions
- Use an eyelash curler on your extensions. Doing so will break off your natural lashes along with the extensions.
- Use makeup, cleansers, makeup removers or moisturizers that contain oil or solvents. They will break down the lash adhesive. Ex: Micellar waters, water proof mascara, gel or pencil eyeliners. Liquid felt tip eyeliner is ok to use on your lids, avoid the base of your lashes.
- The shedding cycle of natural lashes causes us to lose an average of 3 lashes per day. Due to this, lash extensions must be maintained with regular refill appointments to keep a full look. It is recommended to come in every 2-3 weeks for a refill. After 3 weeks you will be required to book a full set.
