After cosmetic treatments, the first week matters more than you think.
Your skin and body are in a healing phase, responding to what you do, how you rest, and what you avoid.
Follow these simple do’s and don’ts to support safe healing, maximise results, and reduce discomfort.
Why This First Week Is Important
When you undergo your first treatment, whether it’s fillers, lasers, or aesthetic procedures, your body begins a natural repair process.
In the first 7 days:
- Inflammation settles
- Collagen production boosts
- Skin regains strength
- Final results begin to show
The way you care for yourself now determines your comfort, safety, and outcome quality.
Here Are A Few DOs and DON’Ts For The First 7 Days Post-Treatment.
DO: Follow Your Provider’s Instructions Carefully
Your expert knows your treatment plan best. Every procedure is unique, so always:
- Read the after-care sheet
- Ask questions if unsure
- Follow timing and product instructions
- Keep appointments for follow-ups
Cold reduces inflammation and eases tension.
DO: Stay Hydrated
Hydration improves tissue recovery and skin glow.
- Drink at least 8–10 glasses of water daily
- Eat hydrating foods like coconut water, watermelon, etc.
Good hydration supports overall healing.
DON’T: Skip Sun Protection
Sun exposure increases redness and pigmentation risks.
- Avoid direct sunlight, especially between 10 am and 4 pm
- Wear SPF 50+ daily
- Use physical blockers (zinc/titanium) for sensitive skin
Sun protection helps maintain results and prevent damage.
DON’T: Use Harsh Products Early On
Your skin is more sensitive after treatment.
Avoid for at least 3–5 days:
- Retinoids and acids
- Scrubs and peels
- Strong toners
These can irritate healing skin and delay recovery.
DON’T: Exercise Strenuously
Intense workouts increase blood flow and heat in treated areas.
This can cause swelling or bruising.
- Avoid heavy cardio & weightlifting for 48–72 hours
- Light walking is fine
Be gentle with your body, and let healing be your priority.
When to Contact Your Expert
Some discomfort is normal. But reach out if you notice:
- Pain that suddenly increases
- Intense redness spreading beyond the treated area
- Fever or chills
- Pus or unusual discharge
- Symptoms that get worse instead of better
Your safety and comfort come first.
