So, you’ve just had your skin tag, milia, mole or xanthelasma removed — amazing! 🎉
That’s one step closer to smoother, clearer skin… and now it’s time to make sure your healing journey is just as beautiful as the results.
Whether you’ve had Advanced Electrolysis or another gentle cosmetic treatment here at PURE Holistic Beauty, these easy aftercare tips will help you:
✔️ Heal quickly
✔️ Minimise the chance of scarring
✔️ Keep your skin calm, soothed and happy
🩹 Why Aftercare Matters
Even though blemish removal is quick and minimally invasive, your skin still needs time to heal. Think of it like a tiny scratch — it might look small, but it deserves TLC.
Following the right aftercare:
- Helps prevent infection or irritation
- Reduces downtime (hello, faster glow-up!)
- Encourages smooth, scar-free results
🧴 What to Expect After Your Treatment
Depending on the type and size of the blemish, you might experience:
- Redness or warmth around the area
- A tiny scab or flake forming (totally normal!)
- Some mild swelling (especially around the eyes for milia/xanthelasma
These are all part of the skin’s natural repair process and should ease within a few days
✨ Jacqui’s Golden Aftercare Tips
Here’s what I recommend to every client post-treatment — it’s gentle, easy, and works:
✅ DO:
- Do not get the scab area wet!
- Let any scabs heal naturally (no picking!)
- Use broad-spectrum SPF daily once the skin has healed
❌ DON’T:
- Wear makeup over the treated area till the scabs have naturally fallen off.
- Touch or pick at the area
- Use active skincare (like retinol, AHAs or vitamin C) until healing is complete
- Have facials, steam, or treatments in the area while the scabs are in place.
- Expose the area to direct sun or sunbeds
My Favourite Aftercare Products
At PURE, I often recommend trusted brands like Environ or Eve Taylor, depending on your skin type and what we’ve treated.
My go-to options:
- 🧴 Environ Antiseptic Gel – great for protecting and calming the skin
- 💧 Eve Taylor Soothing Cleanser – gentle and non-stripping
- 🌿 Aloe-based gel – ideal for post-xanthelasma healing
Need a personalised recommendation? Just ask!
– allow 10–21 days
- Full skin tone recovery (pink fading back to normal) – up to 3–4 months, depending on your skin type and If you’re ever unsure, just drop me a message.
