Two weeks before the laser treatment

• · Stop smoking and refrain from smoking for 6 weeks post procedure
• · Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin and delays wound healing. Please avoid smoking as  avoid unnecessary complications

One week before the laser treatment

• Stop taking supplements
• Stay hydrated
• If you’re experiencing any changes or inflammations such as; conjunctivitis, stye or herpes on your face, please contact us to reschedule

On the day of your treatment

• 45 minutes prior to your treatment take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pill like Ibuprofen
• Bring arnica gel and/or arnica 6C pellets to be used after your treatment

After treatment

• To aid the healing process, avoid direct sunlight and apply high-SPF sunscreen to the treated areas. A gentle skincare routine and hydration are also recommended.
• Stay hydrated
• Massage your Face and neck massage in an upward motion twice a day.
• If possible, sleep on your back  to reduce swelling and to help the skin heal in an appropriate anatomical position
• As with all invasive procedures, swelling will occur after ENDOLIFT® treatments due to tissue irritation. We therefore recommend medical lymphatic drainage in the first 1-3 days after the procedure, as this reduces swelling and possible pain and positively supports the healing process.

Potential Side Effects

• Minimal edema may rarely occur after the treatment.
• There will be slight swelling in the treated area.
• Some patients may experience warmness for up to a few hours after treatment, as deep tissue retains heat longer.
• Some patients may feel tenderness or numbness in the treated area that is temporary and will resolve with time.
• Rarely the motor nerve may be temporarily affected in a lower face treatment and you may need to use oral anti-inflammatory tablets.
• As with any heating device, there’s a rare risk of skin burns or discoloration.
• It is rare, but possible to have contour irregularities, requiring further treatment.
• Temporary bruising or numbness may occur, but are generally mild and quick to resolve.

· The post-treatment phase is an integral part of your ENDOLIFT® journey.

· Proper care and realistic expectations of the recovery process are essential for achieving the best results.
