Detailed Aftercare
Treatment-by-Treatment Guidance
The information below summarizes the published aftercare guidance from DayBeau Clinic. Exact instructions may vary according to the treatment performed and your individual condition.
01
Laser Treatments
Laser • Mole Removal • Pigmentation • Tattoo Removal
- Protect the treated skin from ultraviolet exposure and use sunscreen as instructed by the clinic. Sun protection is particularly important after laser treatment.

- Temporary redness, itching or a warm/burning sensation can occur after laser treatment and may improve within several hours.
- Keep the treated area adequately moisturized during recovery.
- If a scab forms, do not forcibly remove or pick it. Allow it to naturally detach while maintaining appropriate moisture as instructed.
- Laser treatment for pigmentation, acne marks, spots, moles, tattoo removal and hair removal may require multiple sessions rather than a single treatment.
- If blisters or significant swelling develop within the following days, contact the clinic promptly.
Important for mole and lesion removal
The DayBeau Clinic provides specific guidance for regenerative tape after mole, milia and flat-wart removal. The tape may be kept in place during cleansing or showering, and if it comes off it should be replaced according to the clinic's instructions.
02
Laser Hair Removal
GentleMax Pro Plus • Apogee Plus • Avalanche
- Hair follicles can become temporarily irritated after treatment, and folliculitis may occur.
- If redness or itching develops, follow the clinic's prescribed topical medication instructions rather than applying products on your own.
- Avoid activities that cause heavy sweating, including strenuous exercise, sauna and jjimjilbang, for approximately one week according to DayBeau Clinic guidance.
- Avoid alcohol during the recommended recovery period because it may contribute to inflammation.
- Waxing, tanning and pulling hairs out with tweezers should be avoided following the treatment.
03
Botox & Contour Injections
Facial Botox • Salivary Gland Botox • Contour Injections
- The DayBeau Clinic states that facial cleansing and makeup can be performed on the same day after these injections.
- Avoid heavy drinking, facial massage and strenuous exercise for approximately 3–5 days because these activities may contribute to inflammation.
- Temporary bruising, swelling or small raised injection areas may occur and generally improve within several days.
- Avoid applying heat, including hot compresses or radiofrequency treatment, to the treated area for approximately 3–5 days because heat may affect Botox effectiveness.
- Temporary stiffness or tingling may occur after treatment and can improve as the treated muscle changes.
Square-jaw Botox
The original English aftercare page specifically advises avoiding hard or tough foods after square-jaw Botox treatment.

Fat-Dissolving Injections
Contour Injection • Fat-Free Injection • V-OLET
- Gentle massage of the treated area for approximately 2–3 days is included in DayBeau Clinic's aftercare guidance for these injections.

- Bruising, swelling or temporary raised injection areas may occur after treatment.
- Avoid heavy drinking and strenuous exercise for approximately 3–5 days according to the clinic's general injection precautions.

- Temporary aching or a warm sensation can occur after lifting treatments and may improve within several hours.
- Skin may feel dry following treatment. Maintain appropriate moisturization according to the clinic's instructions.

Titanium lifting
The DayBeau Clinic specifically emphasizes sunscreen after Titanium Lifting because of its immediate brightening effect.

- If medication has been prescribed to help prevent infection or inflammation, take it exactly as directed by the clinic.
- The DayBeau Clinic states that patients receiving filler or thread lifting may receive a follow-up call the following day.
Thread lifting
Temporary tightness, awkward facial movement or changes in how expressions feel can occur after thread lifting and may improve with time. If the thread becomes visible, protrudes or causes unusual changes, contact the clinic for assessment.
07
Skin Booster Aftercare
Injectable Skin Boosters
- Because skin boosters are injected superficially into the dermal layer, temporary small raised areas or an uneven "embossed" appearance may occur.
- Small injection marks can remain visible after treatment.
- The DayBeau Clinic notes that injection marks can last up to approximately one week depending on individual skin condition.
- Avoid unnecessary pressure or aggressive massage of the treated area unless specifically instructed by the clinical team.

Body Botox & Sweating Treatments

- After calf or thigh Botox, some patients may experience temporary tingling or weakness approximately 2–4 weeks after treatment.
- If weakness or altered sensation occurs, use additional caution with high heels, stairs, exercise and driving.
- After trapezius or upper-arm Botox, avoid carrying heavy loads or carrying a bag consistently on only one side.
- After body Botox, excessive use of treated muscles may encourage compensatory activity in surrounding muscles.
- After palm sweating treatment, grip strength may temporarily decrease slightly and can improve within several days.
