Aloha Skin Clinic in Ahyeon-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul gives aftercare instructions for each treatment, but most share the same basics: avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas and intense exercise for 3–7 days (one week for some treatments) and always wear sunscreen outdoors. You can wash and wear makeup 3–4 hours after Botox, 3 hours after fillers, and from the next day after Thermage or Potenza; after a collagen injection (Sculptra) the clinic asks for the '5-5-5 rule' — a 5-minute massage, 5 times a day, for 5 days.

What to avoid and when you can wash or wear makeup after Ulthera, Thermage, lifting, Botox, fillers, collagen injection, pigment and age-spot lasers, hair removal and Potenza or Fraxel — based on the aftercare instructions published by Aloha Skin Clinic in Ahyeon-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul.

Basics for every treatment

For at least 3–7 days — avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas and intense exercise (one week for Botox, contour injections, hair removal and Potenza).
Always apply sunscreen when you go outside.
Redness, swelling, bruising or needle marks can appear; if symptoms continue or worsen, call the clinic.
The full instructions are on the clinic's 'Precautions after treatment' board.

Lifting, Ulthera and Thermage

Lifting in general — if you had dental nerve treatment within the past month, discomfort may be stronger, so waiting a month is recommended. Afterwards the face may feel tight, and temporary tingling or pressure around the mouth and eyes can occur.
Ulthera — ultrasound lifting can cause redness, and depending on sensitivity, warmth or swelling. Avoid strong stimulation and exfoliation on the sensitized skin and focus on sun protection and moisturizing. Small bumps on the chin, neck or cheeks disappear on their own within about 7 days.
Thermage — remove accessories before treatment; it cannot be done with braces, metal implants or a pacemaker. Temporary redness and, rarely, small blisters on the chin, neck or cheeks can occur. Wash and wear makeup from the next day, and avoid saunas, steam rooms and swimming pools for 7 days.

Botox, fillers, collagen injection and contour injections

Botox — avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas and strenuous exercise for one week; wash and wear makeup after 3–4 hours. Chewing may feel weaker for a while after jaw Botox, and expressions may feel unnatural after wrinkle Botox. Changes usually build over 2 weeks for jaw and wrinkle Botox and about 1 month for body Botox; the interval between treatments varies, averaging 4 months.
Fillers — settling takes about 2 weeks; asymmetry or lumpiness may be felt, but do not touch or press the area. Wash and wear makeup after 3 hours; keep the regeneration tape on for at least 4 hours (up to 2 days as instructed). Wait 4 weeks before facial massage or laser elsewhere on the face. If the area darkens or you have severe pain, itching or warmth, contact the clinic immediately.
Collagen injection (Sculptra) — follow the '5-5-5 rule': massage the area gently in circles for 5 minutes, 5 times a day, for 5 days. Apply an ice pack for at least 24 hours (or several times through the day) without direct skin contact; washing is fine on the same day.
Contour injections (Violette, Cut) — do not touch the area; light washing, makeup and showering from the next day. Swelling, throbbing and stiffness can last 2–4 weeks depending on the person; avoid high heat such as saunas and hot packs.
Skin Botox, glutathione and Hycus injections — avoid alcohol, smoking, saunas and hot baths for 3–7 days; mild swelling, redness, bumps or bruising usually settle within 2–3 days.

Pigment and age-spot lasers, hair removal, Potenza / Fraxel

Pigment and age spots — pigment may look darker for a while during treatment. Keep the regeneration tape on spots such as removed age spots for about a week, replacing it only if it falls off. Do not use scrubs or other exfoliating products during the treatment period. Deep pigment may need several sessions.
Hair removal — redness, slight swelling or pigment change can last 1–2 days; showering, washing and makeup are fine the same day. For one week avoid saunas, steam rooms, intense exercise and swimming, and moisturize as the area may become dry. If scabs, blisters, discoloration or folliculitis get worse, visit the clinic.
Potenza or Fraxel — redness and warmth on the day usually subside within 1–2 hours. Wash and wear makeup from the next day; for one week avoid hot places, pools and heavy sweating, and use a moisturizer or regenerating cream. Sun exposure can darken pigment, so limit long outdoor activities.
