Aftercare for clients

Adhering to aftercare advice following beauty treatments is crucial for maximising the benefits and ensuring the longevity of the results. Aftercare instructions are designed to promote healing, minimise potential side effects, and optimise the overall outcome of the treatment. Following the recommended aftercare routine helps in maintaining the health and integrity of the treated area. Ignoring these guidelines can lead to complications, such as irritation, infection, or diminished results.

Gel Nails

In the first 24 hours after gel nails treatment and in between appointments, prioritise the following aftercare steps:

Wear Gloves to wash up: Protect your newly treated nails by wearing gloves when washing up.
Reduce exposure to heat: Minimise exposure to heat sources such as sunbeds and saunas during this period.
Avoid prolonged soaking: Refrain from extended baths or swimming to maintain the integrity of your gel nails.
Avoid using nails as tools: Prevent potential damage or premature wear by refraining from using your nails as tools

Additionally, in between appointments:

Use hand cream and cuticle oil regularly: Keep your hands and cuticles moisturised to promote nail health and prolong the life of your gel nails.

Waxing

In the initial 24 hours following waxing treatment and as part of your ongoing aftercare routine:

Avoid heat exposure after treatment: Minimise exposure to heat sources to ensure comfort and prevent potential irritation.
Avoid tight clothes and deodorant: Opt for loose-fitting attire and refrain from using deodorant to prevent any unnecessary friction or sensitivity.
Keep the area clean, use Savlon after treatment: Maintain cleanliness by regularly washing the treated area and applying a gentle antiseptic like Savlon to promote a healthy healing process.
Minimise vigorous exercise: Steer clear of intense physical activity to reduce the risk of irritation and allow the waxed area to recover effectively.

Reflexology

Following a reflexology session, adhere to these aftercare recommendations for optimal results:

Hydrate with plenty of water after treatment: Support the natural detoxification process by drinking ample water to stay well-hydrated.
Opt for a light meal post-treatment: Enhance the benefits of reflexology with a light, nourishing meal to sustain your well-being.
Abstain from alcohol for 24 hours: Give your body time to recalibrate by avoiding alcohol consumption for the first 24 hours after your reflexology session.
Minimise caffeine intake: Reduce caffeine consumption to promote relaxation and maintain the balance achieved during the treatment.
Rest when possible after treatment: Allow the effects of reflexology to settle by taking a moment to rest and rejuvenate after your session.

It's essential to discuss any potential side effects during your appointment to ensure a tailored and comfortable experience.

Pedicure

After your pedicure, consider the following aftercare guidelines to optimise results:

Avoid vigorous exercise: Steer clear of intense physical activities to safeguard your newly pampered feet and preserve the longevity of your pedicure.
Refrain from heat treatments: Minimise exposure to heat sources, such as hot baths or saunas, to maintain the integrity of your pedicure.
Apply foot cream nightly: Nourish and moisturise your feet by diligently applying foot cream each night, promoting hydration and keeping your skin soft and supple.

Lashes

Remove contact lenses: Ensure comfortable and effective treatment by removing contact lenses before the LVL procedure.
Check for any eye conditions: Individuals with certain eye conditions may be advised against the treatment, so inform your technician if applicable.
Patch test requirement: A mandatory patch test is essential 72 hours before your scheduled appointment to assess any potential allergic reactions.

Following your LVL treatment, adhere to these aftercare steps for optimal results:
