Essential Post‑Care Tips for MOLD Manila Aesthetic Treatments

Proper aftercare is just as important as the treatment itself. At MOLD Manila, our goal is to deliver safe, lasting results—and your at‑home routine makes all the difference. Follow these guidelines after any of our non‑surgical treatments (injectables, lasers, ultrasound lifts, body sculpting, chemical peels, PRP, etc.) to ensure optimal healing, comfort, and glow.

Follow Your Personalized Aftercare Plan

Every treatment comes with a tailored instruction sheet. Read it carefully—whether it’s dermal fillers, Thermage, Ultherapy, or a BioRePeel®, your clinician has provided timing, products, and techniques specific to your procedure.

Manage Swelling & Bruising

• Cold Compresses: Apply a clean ice pack wrapped in cloth for 10–15 minutes on and off during the first 24 hours after injections or laser sessions.

• Elevate: Sleep with your head on an extra pillow to reduce facial swelling overnight.

• Avoid Heat: Skip saunas, hot showers, steam rooms, and sunbathing for at least 48 hours—heat can worsen bruising and delay recovery.

Keep Skin Clean & Gentle

• Mild Cleansers Only: Use the gentle, pH‑balanced cleanser we recommend. Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, acids (AHA/BHA), or anything abrasive for 72 hours.

• Hands Off: Resist the urge to rub or massage treated areas—this protects delicate tissues and prevents pigment migration.

Shield from Sun Exposure

• Broad‑Spectrum SPF: Apply SPF 50+ every morning (and reapply if you’re outdoors).

• Physical Barriers: Wear a wide‑brimmed hat or use an umbrella when possible for the first week, especially after peels, lasers, or ultrasound treatments.
  

Hydrate Inside & Out

• Drink Water: Aim for at least 2 liters daily to help your body flush toxins and support collagen production.

• Moisturize: Use the soothing, antioxidant‑rich creams in your post‑care kit to lock in moisture and calm any redness.

Avoid Strenuous Activity

• Rest Up: Skip intense workouts, heavy lifting, or high‑impact cardio for 24–48 hours after any injectable or energy‑based treatment.

• Light Movement: Gentle walking is encouraged to promote circulation—just avoid anything that makes you sweat heavily.

Delay Makeup & Skincare Enhancements

• No Makeup for 24 Hours: Give your skin a breather after injections or peels.

• Hold Off on Facials: Postpone facials, microdermabrasion, or microneedling until you’ve healed completely.

Skip Alcohol & Blood Thinners

• Alcohol: Avoid for 24–48 hours—it can increase bruising and dehydration.

• Blood Thinners: Unless prescribed medically, pause supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, or aspirin for two days pre‑ and post‑injectables (confirm with your prescribing doctor first).

Keep Your Follow‑Up Appointments

We include complimentary touch‑ups or check‑ins—use them. These visits let us monitor your healing, adjust treatments if needed, and answer any new questions.

Reach Out If Concerned

While mild redness, swelling, or tenderness is normal, contact us immediately if you experience:

• Severe or increasing pain

• Excessive swelling that doesn’t improve after 72 hours

• Signs of infection (heat, pus, fever)
