✅ Sun Protection (SPF50)
✅ Immediately after the procedure, apply a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher.
✅ Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and self-tanners for 2 weeks following your treatment. If you need to be outdoors, be sure to reapply your sunscreen regularly.
✅ Do not undergo any laser treatments for at least 2 weeks before your HydraFusion treatment, as your skin needs time to recover.
✅ Moisturize: Keep your skin hydrated by applying a gentle moisturizer as needed. Your skin may feel drier than usual, so make sure to keep it well-moisturized throughout the day.
✅ Discontinue the use of active skincare products (retinoids, exfoliants, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid) at least 48 hours after your appointment.
✅ No Exfoliation: Avoid any exfoliating products for 2 days after your treatment to prevent irritation and allow your skin to heal.
✅ Avoid waxing, threading, depilatory creams, or laser hair removal on the treatment area for at least 1 week after your appointment.
✅ Makeup Application: You may apply makeup after 24 hours of having your treatment. However, we recommend using new, clean sponges or applying makeup with washed hands to minimize any risk of bacteria entering the skin.
✅ Avoid Heat and Steam: Refrain from using saunas, hot tubs, or exposing your skin to excessive heat for at least 48 hours after your HydraFusion treatment to prevent irritation.
✅ Exercise: Avoid intense exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating for 24 hours following the procedure.
✅ Stay well-hydrated to help your skin respond better to the treatment. If you experience mild redness or sensitivity, apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to soothe your skin
✅ 24 Hours Post Treatment: Men should avoid shaving directly before their appointment to prevent irritation.
✅ Results Timeline:
✅ For optimal results, we recommend regular monthly sessions to maintain skin health.
🔹 Redness and sensitivity: Some redness, warmth or mild swelling in the treated area is completely normal and typically settles within 24 to 48 hours. This is a sign that the skin is responding to treatment and is nothing to be concerned about.
🔹 Results timeline: Many patients notice an immediate improvement in radiance and hydration following their HydraFusion session. More significant improvements in skin texture, tone and quality develop progressively over the two to four weeks that follow as the skin responds to the Skin Fusion step and collagen production increases.
🔹 Skincare routine: Once any initial redness or sensitivity has settled, you can return to your normal skincare routine. If you use medical-grade skincare such as Obagi, please check with your practitioner regarding when to reintroduce it following your HydraFusion treatment.
🔹 Follow-up: We recommend booking your next HydraFusion session as advised by your practitioner, typically every two to four weeks as part of a course. If you have any concerns about your skin in the days following treatment, please do not hesitate to reach out to the team.
We are here to ensure you achieve the best possible results from your HydraFusion treatment and to support you throughout the process. If you have any questions or need additional advice, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
We look forward to seeing your results and supporting you with any further treatments.
