Different treatments involve different recovery periods. Some may leave the skin red or flaking for several days, while device-based treatments often involve a course of sessions with gradual changes over weeks to months. Knowing this in advance helps you avoid scheduling a treatment too close to an important date.
Skin Treatments With Limited Downtime
These options typically involve limited downtime, although individual responses vary:
Active Duo Facial: a professional facial treatment that may support skin texture and hydration.
DermaEnergy Enzyme: an enzyme-based treatment that may support skin texture and radiance.
Aquapeel: a cleansing, exfoliating and hydrating treatment.
Healite II LED: a light-based treatment that may support the skin's natural repair processes.
Some people may have mild redness for a short time after these treatments. Your practitioner will advise how far ahead of an event to book.
Treatments That Need More Planning
Treatments with longer recovery or gradual changes are best planned well ahead of key dates, or after the festive period. These may include laser resurfacing, which may involve up to around five days of redness and flaking, Exion Fractional, which may involve four to five days of downtime, and course-based treatments such as Exion RF, where any changes develop gradually across several sessions.
Summer Sun and End-of-Year Treatments
The festive season falls in the height of the Australian summer. Some treatments increase the skin's sensitivity to UV, so outdoor events, beach holidays and travel should be discussed at your consultation. Daily broad-spectrum sunscreen is recommended after most skin treatments.
Regenesis Gift Vouchers
Gift vouchers are available for treatments and skincare. Vouchers are subject to terms and conditions, including expiry, which are set out on the voucher page. All treatments are subject to a consultation and suitability assessment, and some treatments are only available to people aged 18 and over.
Festive Season Skin FAQs
How far before an event should I book a skin treatment?
It depends on the treatment. Some options may be booked a few days before, while others need several weeks. Your practitioner will advise based on your plans.
Can I have a skin treatment the day before an event?
This is generally not recommended, as the skin may be red or sensitive afterwards. Discuss timing with your practitioner.
Can a gift voucher be used for any treatment?
Vouchers may be redeemed for eligible treatments and products, subject to terms and conditions. Treatment is only provided where your practitioner assesses it as suitable.
