AFTER YOUR TREATMENT: WHAT TO EXPECT NEXT & CARE
You’ve taken an intentional step — now let’s protect the progress. This guide shares simple, provider-approved aftercare to keep skin calm, support healing, and help results settle beautifully. Whether this is your first visit or part of your routine, these essentials help you feel informed, comfortable, and supported long after you walk out the door— at home, too.
FEEL STEADY. HEAL WELL. YOUR MOST REFINED RESULTS BEGIN HERE, TOO.
YOUR NEXT BEST DAY STARTS WITH GREAT CARE NOW.
At The Aesthetics Lounge and Spa Raleigh we view aftercare as part of the treatment—not an afterthought. Whether you’re trying something new or returning for your regular maintenance, our aim is for your skin to feel steady, protected, and cared for at every step. You’ll always leave with a plan—and a team behind it.
Inside, you’ll find simple, high-impact ways to support your skin in the days that follow—hydration, protection, and a gentle routine while healing happens. Follow the plan your provider customizes for you, give your body room to rest, and let your results settle naturally. When you feel clear, comfortable, and, confident, your outcome reads even effortless.
YOUR CARE, CONTINUED HERE
Every service comes with its own plan, and we’ll send you home with detailed, printed instructions tailored to what you received. If you ever misplace that sheet—or simply want a quick reset—these general guidelines help protect your investment and keep your results looking their best. For anything treatment-specific, follow your printed aftercare or reference the service page that matches your appointment. We keep it simple, on purpose. Keep it handy.
Steady hydration supports a smoother recovery window. Aim to drink plenty of water for the next 48 hours to help your skin feel calm, comfortable, and supported as results settle.
For the first day or two, skip workouts that raise heat and circulation. A brief pause can help reduce swelling and keep recovery more predictable.
Your skin can be more sensitive after treatment. Limit direct sun exposure and use broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect healing skin and preserve your results.
Avoid touching, rubbing, or pressing the treated area. Less contact helps prevent irritation and supports a cleaner, calmer healing process.
Keep your routine gentle and minimal while your skin resets. Stick with what we recommend and avoid introducing new “active” products unless your provider approves.
Give your skin a chance to breathe. If makeup is needed, use clean brushes and mineral-based products only.
Rest is part of recovery. When possible, sleep on your back and keep your head slightly elevated to help minimize swelling and pressure.
Alcohol can increase flushing and swelling for some clients. Taking a short break helps your body focus on healing—especially in the first day or two.
The best outcomes are built in the days that follow. Follow your aftercare instructions exactly as provided—small steps, done consistently, make a visible difference.
If something feels unexpected or you have a question, contact us. We’d always rather guide you early than have you wonder at home.
INDIVIDUAL TREATMENT CARE DOWNLOADABLE GUIDES
For treatment prep and post-care, explore our downloadable guides. Each one is designed to keep you clear, confident, and supported—before your visit and once you’re home. Keep nearby.
From the moment your appointment ends until your results have fully settled, we’re here with calm guidance and clear answers. Healing looks a little different for every client, and our role is to help you feel informed, supported, and reassured throughout the process. Whether this was your first treatment or part of ongoing care, you can feel confident knowing you’re monitored, cared for, and never navigating recovery alone. If anything feels unexpected, reach out early.
