When should I have my next treatment?
Qswitch laser achieves the best results with multiple treatments. We advise a maximum of 6 treatments per year for Q switch laser (including The Manse Glow) . Please discuss the plan with your therapist /nurse /doctor. Packages are available where if you buy 4 treatments, you get the 5th for free.
The Manse Glow and all Qswitch laser treatments are limited to 6 treatments per year.
Hydration and Moisturising
Once heat and redness have subsided, regular moisturising helps the skin feel comfortable and hydrated. A hydrating cream can support the appearance of smoother, softer skin during this phase. Many patients enjoy Dr Naomi Skin Plump Fiction, a rich moisturiser designed to help the skin look nourished and supple. Your therapist may suggest suitable moisturisers for general daily use as part of your aftercare plan.
Avoiding Actives
Avoid active skincare such as glycolic acid, Vitamin A, retinol and exfoliating products for at least seven days. During this time, keep your routine simple with cleansing, moisturising and daily sunscreen. This supports a gentle environment for q switch laser aftercare Sydney.
Sun Protection
Daily sun protection is one of the most important steps in maintaining healthy, radiant skin long term. Many patients prefer lightweight formulas that sit comfortably under makeup and feel elegant on the skin. The Future SPF 50 is a refined SPF that offers a smooth, non-greasy finish and helps the skin look bright, even and well protected throughout the day. With its elegant texture and blendable finish, it is an easy addition to a morning routine for those wanting a high-quality sunscreen that supports the appearance of clear, well-cared-for skin.
