After the 5D Hifu treatment and your skin is treated, immediate aftercare becomes vital to maintain the newfound radiance of your face and neck.


  • It’s time to step away from harsh chemicals like benzoyl peroxide and embrace a gentler approach to cleaning. Hold Off on Exfoliating or Using Retinol Products


  • Lukewarm water is your ally here, washing away any residues without irritating your delicate skin.


  • Next, a moisturizer infused with soothing vitamins wraps your skin in a blanket of hydration, easing any tightness and providing vital nourishment.


  • Applying Sunscreen Daily is so important and do so for weeks following treatment. SPF 40 is a must to protect from harsh chemicals and sun damage. Reliable sunscreen helps maintain the skin's improved complexion without needing remedial steps akin to taking aspirin for discomfort

  • Should any swelling dare to surface, a simple ice pack stands ready to quietly soothe and reduce it, ensuring that not even the slightest hint of discomfort diminishes the freshness of your complexion.


  • Hold off on intense exercising and saunas


  • If you can NOT apply makeup for at least 24-48 hours to let you skin heal properly


This is about caring wisely for your skin—no drastic measures like plastic surgery, just simple, nurturing steps to prolong the benefits of your facial. Being patient with your skin after treatment and allowing 1-3 months to see results will give you normal expectations.

After an anti-aging facial, the subsequent steps for extending the skin’s youthful sheen are crucial.


It’s advisable to avoid environments that can undo the precious work, such as the aggressive heat of a sauna or the potential risks associated with laser hair removal.

Embracing a serum rich in hyaluronic acid can deeply hydrate and fill the newly smoothed lines. We have an amazing product line in the spa that we recommend after treatments to smooth and enrich your treatment.


Moreover, the nightly use of a cream flush with ceramides can reinforce the skin’s barrier, preserving moisture and protecting against environmental damage that might increase the risk of skin cancer.


These post-treatment strategies provide a two-pronged approach to sustain and boost the benefits achieved from the facial.


Foods and Hydration for Enhanced Results

Incorporating foods teeming with antioxidants into your diet is as strategic as applying sunscreen before a sunny outing to fortify your skin against the signs of aging.


Antioxidants combat the free radicals that contribute to wrinkle formation, much like water revives your skin’s elasticity during a warm shower, or botox smooths out lines temporarily—but through your nutritional choices. These nutrients act as an invisible shield, enhancing your skin’s natural defenses and prolonging the youthful effects of your anti-aging treatments.

Skip the Gym and Steamy Showers for 48 Hours
For those who have invested time and care into an anti-aging facial, the skin becomes temporarily vulnerable, much like the sensitive nature of rosacea. This is why avoiding the gym and steamy showers in the 48 hours following your treatment is essential.

Intense physical activity or exposure to heat and steam can unnecessarily increase blood flow to the skin, which might exacerbate any residual redness or sensitivity. Doing so helps the skin to settle and respond better to the restorative actions of a calmative lotion or mask rather than to the harshness of salicylic acid or the need for ibuprofen to reduce potential discomfort.
In conclusion, post-treatment care is pivotal in maximizing the benefits of anti-aging facials, ensuring lasting results, and preventing skin irritation.

Gentle cleansing, adequate hydration, and sun protection help maintain the refreshed appearance and health of the skin. Nourishing your skin with enhanced skincare products can boost results and help you achieve the professional treatment procedure.
