Postcare for High Frequency

& Galvanic Treatments

  • Use an SPF on your face to protect it after any advanced facial.

  • Drink plenty of water. This is to help flush out the toxins from your body now that your lymphatic drainage system has been boosted by your treatment.

  • Don’t have any other facial treatments for 24-48 hours to allow your skin to recover from the treatment and reap all the benefits.

  • Avoid make-up for 24 hours to allow your skin to breath and to support the skin-cleansing effect of the treatment.

  • Avoid touching the skin to prevent bacteria or germs from your fingers getting onto your skin.

  • Avoid sun beds and UV rays.

  • Avoid extremes of temperatures- wind, effects of central heating as this can have a dehydrating or damaging effect on the skin and your skin may be more vulnerable straight after an electrical treatment.

  • Avoid heat treatments such as sauna etc for 24-48 hours after treatment.
