Aftercare Guide
Post-care guide for your Balanced Beauty treatment.
Your treatment is done, now it's about protecting your results. Here's exactly how to care for your skin after every treatment we offer.
Applies to every treatment
The golden rules after any treatment.
- Wear SPF every single day after any skin treatment, your skin is more photosensitive and vulnerable to UV damage.
- Keep your skincare simple for the first few days. Gentle cleanser, moisturizer, SPF. Don't introduce new products right after a treatment.
- If you have any unexpected reactions, redness that lasts longer than expected, or any concerns, contact us directly. We're here.
- Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol for 24 hours, hydration supports your skin's recovery.

Laser Hair Removal
- Avoid sun exposure on the treated area for at least 1 week, wear SPF if exposed
- Skip the gym and hot showers for 24 hours, heat can irritate freshly lasered skin
- Some redness or warmth in the area is normal and resolves within hours
- Do not wax, pluck or use depilatory creams between sessions, shaving only
- Hair will shed gradually over 2–3 weeks after each session, this is it working
Teeth Whitening
- Avoid staining foods and drinks for 48 hours, coffee, tea, red wine, dark sauces
- Use a straw for coffee or tea for the first couple of days if needed
- Brush gently for the first 24 hours, enamel is more sensitive post-treatment
- Use a gentle fluoride toothpaste to support enamel strength
- Results last 6–12 months with basic maintenance, book a top-up when needed
Chemical Peels
- Keep skincare very simple, gentle cleanser, rich moisturizer, SPF. Nothing active.
- Do not pick or peel flaking skin, let it shed naturally to avoid pigmentation
- Avoid the gym, saunas and sweating for 48 hours post-treatment
- Wear SPF every single day, your skin is very photosensitive after a peel
- Avoid retinol, AHAs and any actives until all peeling has resolved (usually 5–7 days)
LED Light Therapy
- Apply SPF if going outdoors after your session, good practice always
- No restrictions on exercise, makeup or skincare products
- If combined with another treatment, follow the aftercare for that treatment
- Consistency is key, regular sessions build on each other for best results
