Aftercare

At Ellua, your results and safety are our top priority.
Following the correct aftercare ensures your skin and body heal beautifully and that you receive the best possible outcome from your treatment.

Please refer to the aftercare information below for your specific service:

Laser Hair Removal

To optimise the results of your laser treatment, it is essential to prioritise your post-treatment care.

Avoid sweat and bacteria exposure for 48 hours after treatment (no gym, hot showers, saunas, pools, or spas).

Wear loose-fitting clothing to allow the skin to breathe.

Avoid direct sunlight and apply SPF 50+ daily for two weeks post-treatment.

Begin a light exfoliation five days post-treatment to assist with hair shedding and prevent ingrown hairs.

Avoid retinol for three days before and after facial laser treatments.

 

Laser Tattoo Removal

Proper care after tattoo removal helps your skin heal and prevents complications.

Keep the treated area clean, dry, and covered for the first 48 hours.

Avoid touching, scratching, or picking at the treated area.

Apply a soothing, fragrance-free healing cream as directed by your therapist.

Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and swimming for at least 7 days.

Do not apply makeup or active products (like retinol or acids) to the treated area for one week.

 

Facials & Skin Treatments

After your facial or advanced skin treatment, your skin may feel fresh, warm, or slightly flushed – this is completely normal.

Avoid makeup, heat exposure, and exercise for 24 hours.

Do not exfoliate or use active products (like retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or Vitamin C) for 3–5 days.

Always apply SPF 50+ daily.

Keep the skin hydrated with a gentle, nourishing moisturiser.

Avoid touching or picking at the skin to allow proper healing.

 

Skin Needling

Skin needling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen, proper aftercare enhances the rejuvenation process.

Avoid touching the face for 12 hours post-treatment.

Do not apply makeup for 24–48 hours.

Avoid heat, sweating, or exercise for 48 hours.

Use only the aftercare products recommended by your therapist.

Avoid active ingredients (like retinol, acids, or Vitamin C) for 7 days.

Always wear SPF 50+ when going outdoors.

Teeth Whitening

Your teeth are more porous after whitening, so it’s important to protect them from staining and sensitivity.

Avoid food and drinks that can stain (coffee, tea, red wine, tomato-based sauces, berries) for 48 hours.

Stick to a “white diet” – think rice, chicken, fish, potatoes, milk, and clear fluids.

Avoid smoking for 48 hours.

Use a sensitive toothpaste if you experience mild discomfort.

Brush gently and avoid highly pigmented mouthwash for two days.

 

Lashes & Brows

To keep your results fresh and long-lasting, follow these simple steps:

Avoid getting your brows or lashes wet for 24 hours post-treatment.

Do not use oils, makeup, or serums near the treated area for 48 hours.

Avoid steam, saunas, or swimming for 48 hours.

Brush your brows or lashes daily using a clean spoolie to maintain shape.

For tinting: avoid harsh cleansers and exfoliants around the area.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning removes dead skin and fine hair, leaving your complexion smooth and bright, gentle care afterwards is key.

Avoid makeup for 24 hours.

Do not exfoliate or use active ingredients for 5–7 days.

Apply SPF 50+ daily.

Keep skin hydrated with gentle, nourishing products.

Avoid sweating or direct sun exposure for 48 hours.

 

Body Contouring / RF Skin Tightening / EMS Prosculpt

These treatments enhance tone, tighten skin, and sculpt the body, and proper care maximises your results.

Drink plenty of water (at least 2L per day) for the next 72 hours.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and processed foods for 24 hours post-treatment.

Gentle movement or walking is encouraged to support lymphatic drainage.

Avoid heat exposure (saunas, hot showers) for 24 hours.

Follow your therapist’s guidance for session frequency to achieve optimal results.

 

Pigmentation Reduction

Laser pigmentation treatments target excess melanin, protecting the skin afterwards is crucial.

Avoid sun exposure and apply SPF 50+ daily for at least 2 weeks.

Do not pick or scratch at any flaking or crusting.

Avoid active skincare products for 5–7 days.

Keep the skin cool and hydrated.

Avoid excessive heat, exercise, or swimming for 48 hours.
