I am a professional beauty therapist and non-invasive aesthetic practitioner with an advanced knowledge of the beauty industry.
Professional treatments can give very good results — but they are only part of the process.
What you do at home, especially in the first few days after your appointment, has a direct impact on how your skin responds and how long the results will last.
This applies whether you are having a course of treatments every 10–14 days or a single treatment.
Below are the key things I go through with my clients to help them get the most out of their treatments.
1. Personalised home skincare

This is the foundation.
Using the right products, in the correct order, and suited to your skin condition is essential. During consultations, I always review your current routine and adjust it where needed.
Professional treatments work best when they are supported by consistent homecare.
2. Sun protection (preventing photoaging)

Sun exposure is one of the main causes of premature skin ageing, known as photoaging.
Photo-protection is super important all year round – yes we are fully-aware of it, but after a treatment, the skin is often more sensitive to UV, so protection is especially important.
Use a broad-spectrum SPF daily, reapply it during the day, and where possible avoid direct sun exposure or use additional protection such as a hat.
My SPF recommendations:
- Dermaquest Sheer Zinc SPF 30 (available to purchase at my beauty studio)
- Norel Dr Wilsz SPF 50 (available to purchase at my beauty studio or online)
- Norel Dr Wilsz BB Cream Spf 30 (available to purchase at my beauty studio or online)

3. Hydration

Staying well hydrated supports your skin’s natural functions.
Many ingredients used in treatments work best in a well-hydrated environment, so drinking enough water helps your skin respond better and maintain results.
Simple, but powerful: drink more water.
4. Balanced diet

What you eat can support your skin, particularly in the first few days after treatment.
A diet rich in vegetables, antioxidants, and healthy fats helps the skin recover and maintain results.
5. Supplements (where appropriate)

While supplementation should always be approached carefully, it can support skin health.
Depending on the individual, we may discuss options such as omega-3 fatty acids or collagen to support overall skin condition alongside topical treatments.

6. Avoid heavy exercise for a few days

After treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, or skin boosters, I recommend avoiding intense exercise for a few days.
Excess heat, sweating, and contact with equipment can affect how the skin heals.
Light activity such as walking or stretching is fine – just keep it gentle.
7. Avoid heat and chlorinated water

Saunas, steam rooms, hot environments, and swimming pools should be avoided for a few days after more advanced treatments.
These can irritate the skin and interfere with the treatment results.
8. Maintain good hygiene

After a treatment, the skin is more sensitive, so hygiene becomes more important.
Use a clean towel for your face, avoid unnecessary touching, and keep your hands clean when applying products.
9. Clean fabrics and tools

Changing your pillowcase after a treatment and washing your makeup brushes regularly helps reduce the risk of irritation or breakouts.
If possible, silk pillowcases can be beneficial as they are gentler on the skin.
10. Follow aftercare and stay consistent

Aftercare advice is always tailored to your treatment and skin condition.
Following it carefully, and maintaining consistency with your routine, will have the biggest impact on your long-term results.
Professional treatments can significantly improve the condition of your skin, but they do not work in isolation.
The combination of treatment, homecare, and daily habits is what determines how effective and long-lasting the results will be.
Because a glow that lasts?
That’s always a team effort.
