7 Days Before Your Treatment
To ensure your skin barrier is at its strongest:

• Pause active ingredients unless your Skin Design London therapist advises otherwise (Tretinoin, Retinol, AHA/BHA acids, Exfoliating toners or pads) and vvoid any hair removal in the treatment area (waxing, laser, threading, depilatory creams). 
• Apply SPF daily (SPF 30 or higher) to protect the skin and minimise sensitivity.
  

24–48 Hours Before Your Treatment
Keep skin calm and hydrated:

• Avoid prolonged sun exposure or tanning beds to reduce skin irritation and increased sensitivity.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
• Avoid intense heat exposure (saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga).
  

Day of Your Treatment

• Arrive with clean skin, free from makeup, SPF, or heavy skincare.
• Avoid applying any active skincare ingredients.
• If you have concerns or changes in your skin, please inform your SDL therapist prior to treatment.

Your post-treatment routine is essential for maximising long-term results.

Immediately After Treatment
Expect mild, normal responses such as:

• Slight redness or flushing
• Sensitivity or tightness
• These typically settle within a few hours to 24 hours.
  

We suggest that you:

Hydrate

Use gentle, nourishing formulas to support skin recovery:

• Sleeping Beauty Crème - soothes, hydrates, strengthens
• Designer Balm - for deeper nourishment if skin feels dry or tight

Sun Protection

• Apply broad-spectrum SPF 
• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 7 days

Gentle Cleansing
Cleanse with Face Bath to remove impurities without disrupting the skin barrier.

Please avoid: 

• No active ingredients (retinol, acids, exfoliants) for at least 24 hours
• Touching your face unnecessarily.
• Intense workouts
• Saunas/steam rooms
• Hot showers
• Harsh scrubs or exfoliating devices
• Avoid makeup if your skin feels sensitive (optional but recommended for 12–24 hours)
