• No Heat treatments are permitted for 48 hours after (i.e.Sauna, steam room, hot showers & bathes, swimming)
• No make up application for 24hrs, with the exception of mineral make up, which is chemical, & fragrance free make up & which can be applied immediately after
• No application of perfumed products for 48 hrs after.
• SPF 25 recommended daily for one month after on areas exposed to sunlight, as you may be photosensitive for up to one month after treatment & therefore prone to uneven pigmentation/tanning.
• Tanning the skin is not advised between treatments. The skin needs to be as pale as possible for optimum results
• Aloe Vera gel may be applied to sooth skin if necessary afterwards.
• For men: Please arrive with your face closely shaved, as the laser will singe the hairs

It is very important to minimise the triggers of Rosacea, in order to prevent future flare-ups, as there is no cure for Rosacea.

Triggers include saunas, steam rooms, sun bathing, hot spicy foods, alcohol, cola (aspartame & nutrasweet), caffeine, spicy food, hot soups, chocolate, tomatoes, citrus fruits & histamine producing foods will trigger flare ups. Heavy meals will cause flushing as the body tries to digest the meal. Eating regular small meals is advised, Stress & fatigue, smoking, do gentle exercise instead of vigorous exercise,

Avoid:

Oil based products and make up. Use water based or oil free foundation, but mineral make up is best as it is pure. Oil retains heat in the skin & can contribute to a flare up.
