Skin Rejuvenation

What to expect

1. Skin assessment: Sophie Gatward, NP, looks at your skin type, concerns, health history and current routine, including any medications that make your skin sensitive to light. She then recommends a plan, which may combine in-clinic treatments with medical-grade skincare.
2. Treatment day: What happens depends on your plan: Omnilux™ LED light therapy is non-invasive and relaxing, while injectable skin boosters involve a series of tiny injections. Appointments usually take 30–60 minutes.
3. Right after: Most people go straight back to their day. After skin boosters, small bumps, redness or tiny bruises at the injection points are common and usually settle within a few days.
4. Following weeks: Improvements in glow, tone and texture build gradually over several weeks, especially with a consistent home-care routine. Results vary from person to person.
5. Series & maintenance: Most options are done as a series of sessions. Results are maintained with periodic visits, daily sun protection and a routine suited to your skin.

Aftercare tips

• Follow the personalized instructions you receive at your appointment — they take priority over these general tips.
• Wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day, and reapply when you're outdoors.
• Keep your routine gentle for a day or two after in-clinic treatments, and pause strong exfoliants or retinoids unless you're told otherwise.
• After skin boosters, skip makeup, strenuous exercise, saunas and hot tubs until the next day.
• Start new skincare products one at a time, as recommended, so it's easier to see how your skin responds.
• Stay consistent with your home-care routine between visits, since results build over time.

Possible side effects

• Mild, temporary redness, warmth or sensitivity after treatment, which usually settles quickly.
• After skin boosters: small bumps, swelling, redness or bruising at the injection points, which usually settle within a few days.
• Dryness, flaking or stinging while your skin adjusts to new active products such as retinoids or exfoliating acids.
• Occasionally, irritation or an allergic reaction to a product — stop using it and contact the clinic.
• Rare but serious (skin boosters): infection or, very rarely, a blocked blood vessel. Worsening pain, or skin that turns pale, white, grey or dusky, needs urgent medical care.
