Post-Operative Care At Aesthetic Beauty By Lorraine

At Aesthetic Beauty By Lorraine, we understand that recovery is just as important as the treatment itself. Post-operative care is essential to ensure your body heals properly and that results last as long as possible. Whether you’ve received a facial, microneedling, or plasma PRP treatment, our aftercare guidance is tailored to your unique procedure.

We provide all our clients with personalized recovery instructions that support both healing and comfort. By following our expert-recommended care steps, you’ll minimize swelling, reduce redness, and accelerate tissue regeneration. Our team is always available to answer your post-treatment questions and adjust your care plan if needed.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a key part of many recovery plans. It helps reduce swelling and promotes healthy circulation after treatments like body contouring or surgery. Our specialists use gentle techniques that support your body’s natural detox process while easing tension and encouraging a faster recovery.

The first 24 to 48 hours following any procedure are critical for healing. During this time, we advise clients to rest, avoid direct sunlight, and keep treated areas clean and free from irritants. Cold compresses may be recommended for certain procedures to reduce inflammation.

If you've undergone microneedling, PRP, or chemical peels, we strongly recommend avoiding makeup, heavy creams, or exfoliants for the first few days. These products can interfere with your skin's healing and increase the risk of irritation or infection. Let your skin breathe and focus on hydration.

For facial treatments and dermaplaning, it’s important to stay hydrated and use only gentle cleansers. Avoid hot showers, steam rooms, and strenuous activities that could open your pores or trigger sensitivity. Our specialists provide product recommendations that are safe to use during recovery.

Swelling, redness, and slight bruising are normal after many aesthetic procedures. These symptoms should gradually improve over several days. Ice packs and elevated rest can help reduce inflammation and speed up your body’s natural healing response.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is especially effective for reducing facial and body swelling post-procedure. Our licensed therapists are trained to perform gentle, rhythmic movements that stimulate lymph flow and reduce fluid buildup. These massages are safe, comfortable, and highly recommended.

If you notice any unusual discomfort, prolonged redness, or signs of infection, please reach out to our clinic immediately. We monitor your progress closely and can make adjustments to your care if needed. Your safety and well-being are our top priorities throughout your recovery.

After receiving a facial, chemical peel, or dermaplaning treatment, your skin may feel extra sensitive. We advise patients to avoid sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF to protect delicate skin. Sunscreen should become part of your daily routine to preserve the treatment’s results.

You may experience light flaking or peeling depending on the depth of the procedure. This is a normal part of skin renewal and typically resolves within a few days. Avoid picking or scratching to prevent scarring or irritation.

Use only fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizers and cleansers during this stage. Our staff will guide you on the best products to support healing without clogging your pores. Hydration, both inside and out, plays a big role in glowing, healthy skin after your facial treatment.

Microneedling and plasma PRP treatments stimulate collagen production and skin repair. After your session, your skin may appear red and feel tight or sunburned. These effects usually subside within 24 to 48 hours with proper care.

We recommend avoiding all active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, and exfoliants for at least a week after treatment. Let your skin focus on healing without added stress. Gentle hydration and SPF are key.

For optimal results, avoid direct sunlight, excessive sweating, and makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Use cool water to cleanse your face and pat it dry with a clean towel. Recovery is where the magic happens—treat your skin kindly.

For body procedures or more intensive post-operative care, our clinic offers dedicated follow-up treatments. These may include compression garment guidance, massage therapy, and pain management strategies. Every plan is built around your comfort and recovery goals.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage plays a big role in reducing swelling after surgery or liposuction. Our experienced therapists target affected areas to release trapped fluids and encourage faster healing. These sessions are comfortable and tailored to your post-op timeline.

Compression garments, when used properly, improve circulation and reduce swelling. Our team will help you understand how to wear them correctly and when it’s appropriate to transition out of them. Consistency is the key to a smooth and effective recovery.

If you’ve undergone treatments for acne or acne scars, keeping your skin calm and bacteria-free is essential. Avoid touching your face, and do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Use clean pillowcases and avoid activities that may lead to sweating.

You may experience mild flaking or purging as part of the skin renewal process. This is completely normal and should subside with consistent hydration and gentle care. Stick to non-irritating skincare products and stay out of the sun.

Scars respond best to treatments when supported by a strong healing routine. Our team may recommend serums or post-treatment ointments to accelerate skin cell turnover. Protecting your skin barrier is the foundation of long-term improvement.

Lash Lifts are a low-maintenance treatment, but proper aftercare ensures results last longer. Avoid getting your lashes wet for at least 24 hours following your appointment. That includes steam, sweat, and even tears.

Refrain from rubbing your eyes or sleeping on your face the first night post-treatment. We also recommend avoiding mascara or lash curlers for the first couple of days. Once your lashes set, they’ll keep their curl naturally for weeks.

You can condition your lashes with nourishing serums to keep them healthy and soft. Avoid oil-based products around the eyes to preserve the lift. With gentle care, your lash lift will remain defined and beautiful throughout its cycle.

Rest is vital after any aesthetic treatment, even non-invasive ones. Your body needs time to respond to the changes and initiate healing. Listen to your body and prioritize hydration, nutrition, and good sleep.

Depending on the treatment, recovery time can vary from 24 hours to a week or more. Our specialists will walk you through exactly what to expect based on your procedure. We also provide written care instructions to refer back to at home.

Be patient with the healing process. Many aesthetic procedures work gradually over time, and results continue to improve in the weeks that follow. Stick to your recommended aftercare routine to enjoy the best possible outcome.

We encourage clients to schedule follow-up appointments when needed. These sessions allow us to monitor your healing and evaluate the effectiveness of your treatment. Adjustments to your skincare or recovery plan may be made at this time.

During your follow-up, we may recommend additional sessions or treatments to further enhance your results. For example, microneedling and scar therapy often require a series of visits. We ensure your plan evolves with your progress.

Your satisfaction and comfort are important to us long after you leave the treatment room. We’re here to support you from consultation to full recovery. Building long-term beauty and wellness is a shared journey.
