After Treatment: First 24 Hours: For the first 24 hours, avoid applying anything to your skin, including cleansers, moisturisers, makeup, and sunscreen. Minimise sun exposure as much as possible. If you must go outside, wear a hat and sunglasses for protection. Your skin may appear red and feel warm. This will subside within a few hours to a few days, depending on the treatment strength.

For 3-5 days, avoid skincare products containing Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin C, or any other "active" ingredients.

Treatment Schedule: For optimal results, we recommend scheduling 2-4 treatments, spaced 4 weeks apart. Normal side effects from treatment: It is normal to experience some flushing at first, but the redness should disappear within a few hours after most skin treatments. Some clients experience slight swelling, tingling or tenderness to the touch, but these are temporary in nature. Adverse side effects Adverse side effects are extremely rare. Occasional temporary effects may include bruising, blistering, over heating the skin or welts, which resolves in hours to days, or numbness in a select area, which resolves in days to weeks.

BODY TREATMENTS

LASER LIPO TREATMENT POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS Laser Lipo is the latest non-invasive body contouring treatment that is scientifically proven to reduce body fat using cold laser technology. Laser pads are applied to the treatment area for 20 minutes. The laser light targets the fat cell by liquefying the fat and causes the fat cell membrane to become more permeable releasing the liquefied fat into the interstitial fluid around the fat cell. The liquefied fat is then naturally eliminated from your body. The treatment is painless; the results are immediate with the average loss being 1 ⁄ 2 cm on the treated area. For best results drinking 2L of water, maintaining a low-calorie diet along with half an hour of exercise on the day of the treatment is recommended. A treatment program of minimum of 10 sessions, 2 sessions per week is recommended for optimal results depending on your body shape and amount of fat loss desired. To achieve optimum results, we need a commitment from you that you understand what is necessary on your part to have a successful outcome. • On the day of your treatment you must workout for a minimum of 30 minutes, maintaining a relatively moderate to high heart rate. • For optimal results a treatment program of 2 treatments per week for 10 sessions is recommend. During this time, it is imperative that you maintain a healthy diet and exercise throughout treatment program. • Minimizing fatty foods and foods with high sugar content including alcohol, will ensure you receive results. • Every person is different and we have 100% success rate when clients have followed our advice and guidelines, so it is important you do your side of things too to reach optimum results! • For a long-term permanent solution combine with Fat Freeze treatments. Please feel free to contact our friendly team on 03 9882 8228 for any questions.

FAT FREEZE POST CARE INSTRUCTIONS Typically there is minimal discomfort and recovery time after the Fat Freeze treatment. Most clients are able to return to their daily routine immediately after the treatment. The treated area may be red and/or cold for up to a few hours after treatment. Following the treatment some clients may experience one or more of the following sensations: tingling, bruising, swelling, redness, numbness, itching and tenderness to the touch, pain in the treated area, strong cramping, nausea, bloating, diarrhoea, muscle spasms or skin sensitivity. These can occur in the treated area for one to four weeks after the treatment. In rare cases, clients may experience darker skin colour, hardness, discrete nodules, ice burn, enlargement of the treated area, hernia or worsening of existing hernia following the Fat Freeze treatment. Surgical intervention may be required to correct the enlargement or hernia. Following the treatment, a gradual reduction in the thickness of the fat layer will take place. You may start to see changes as early as 4 weeks after the Cool Sculpture treatment. Your body will continue to naturally process the injured fat cells from your body for approximately three months after your treatment. Please massage the area twice a day for 2 – 5 mins for 1 week after your treatment. This will break up the dead cells and help your body remove the fat.

Fabulous At Every Age

  • WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
    The Microdermabrasion Treatment is a skin resurfacing treatment suitable for all skin types. It combines a deep clean and exfoliation, extractions and antioxidant rejuvenation for instantly brighter, cleaner and clearer skin.
  • HOW DOES THE MICRODERMABRASION WORK?
    Using an abrasive hand-piece with vacuum suction directed onto the skin, it simultaneously exfoliates, clears blocked pores, buffs and polishes the skin for a smooth even complexion. This treatment is completed within half an hour. The Microdermabrasion treatment buffs and polishes the surface of the skin, stimulating the receptors in the epidermis which in turn stimulates the production of new skin cells in the deepest layer of the epidermis. This encourages the production of new epidermal skin cells, while the buffing and polishing action removes dead skin cells from the surface. Together this process creates glowing skin, refreshed with bright new skin cells. As we age the regeneration of skin cells slow down leaving our skin looking dull and lifeless, showing wrinkles, pores and old acne scarring, by stimulating the upper layers of the skin, we will begin the process of regeneration. We recommend combining with Skin Needling treatments to stimulate the second layer of the skin, the dermis. Clinical trials and studies of microdermabrasion show a smoother, more even and healthier looking epidermis. The results of Microdermabrasion are instant with little downtime. Your skin may be pink immediately after treatment, this subsides over the next few hours. For those with a more sensitive skin type it may appear pink to red until the next day.
  • WHAT ARE THE SIDE EFFECTS?
    It is normal to experience some redness immediately post treatment, which usually subsides within a few hours. Some people may experiences dryness or peel several days post treatment as the skin cells shed and fresh new skin cells are brought to the surface.
  • HOW MANY SESSIONS DO I NEED?
    You will notice improvements immediately after your first treatment. One treatment will improve the skin, however a series of treatments will give you long-term stimulation of the epidermis, leading to fresher, brighter looking skin. Depending on your age or the nature of why you are having the treatment, your skin therapist will discuss with you how many sessions it will take to get the results you're looking for. We recommend a course of 6 to 12 sessions depending on your skin focus and a maintenance session with every change in season.
  • WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY TREATMENT?
    The Microdermabrasion is performed as a multi-step process. First we will deeply cleanse and exfoliate your skin. Next we will perform the Microdermabrasion on your skin, and then apply a pumpkin enzyme peel to smooth the skin. This is followed by an extraction of blackheads and whiteheads. The final step offers rehydration where hyaluronic, peptides and an infusion of antioxidants and essential nutrients is applied to the skin. The entire treatment takes 30 minutes.
  • WHAT CAN I EXPECT AFTER MY TREATMENT?
    You may experience slight redness for up to an hour following your treatment, similar to that after a workout. Otherwise you will notice instantly fresher, dewy, clear and glowing skin.
  • WHAT PRECAUTIONS CAN I TAKE PRE AND POST TREATMENT?
    As we have removed layers of dead skin cells, we recommend no scrubs, acids or anything harsh for 24-48 hours post treatment. We also recommend to not use any harsh products on the skin for at least two days before a treatment – specifically no Vitamin A or home masks. We always recommend the daily use of SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent the skin becoming sun damaged. Please apply at least once every two hours when out in the sun.
