Evaluation first. Then, the appropriate next step.
A consultation may lead to a procedure, but its first purpose is to create clarity.

Care Around Treatment
Practical preparation and aftercare, explained for the procedure you receive.
MY CARE PHILOSOPHY
A Plan That Fits
You do not need to arrive knowing the name of a treatment. You may come with a change you have noticed, a previous experience you want to discuss or a result you would like to understand.
I begin with that context rather than immediately directing you towards a procedure.
- Context before procedure names;
- Assessment before recommendation;
- Natural-looking outcomes without standardising every person;
- Honest explanations without guaranteed results;
- Preparation and aftercare as part of the treatment;
- Space to ask, reconsider or wait.
Your recovery deserves the same attention as the treatment itself.
HOW I BUILD A PLAN
How Preparation Is Decided
-
Listen
Understand what brought you here and what matters to you.
-
Review
Discuss history, routine, sensitivities, health context and timing.
-
Assess
Evaluate the skin, scalp, face, body area or vascular concern.
-
Explain
Clarify options, limits, sensations, risks and recovery.
-
Decide
Treat, prepare, stage, refer, observe or wait.
BEFORE TREATMENT
What Franciele Needs to Know
Health and medication
Relevant conditions, allergies, medication, supplements, pregnancy, breastfeeding and recent illness may affect planning.
Previous treatments
Lasers, peels, injectables, surgery, threads, tattoos and reactions can remain relevant.
Current products
Retinoids, acids, acne products, depigmenting formulas and home devices may affect tolerance.
Sun and heat exposure
Recent tanning, sunburn or planned outdoor activity can change treatment timing.
Your calendar
Travel, work, exercise, celebrations and photographs help determine an appropriate recovery window.
Your expectations
We discuss what may improve, what may require several stages and what cannot be promised.
Preparing well is a quiet way of caring for the result and for yourself.
DIFFERENT TREATMENTS, DIFFERENT RECOVERY
Recovery Is Treatment-Specific
Cleansing and gentle renewal
Deep cleansing, diamond peel, crystal peel and ultrasonic peel may require a simple, calming routine and temporary pause from irritating products.
Chemical renewal
Retinoic, Jessner, TCA and depigmentation protocols vary in depth. Flaking, redness and product restrictions depend on the exact peel.
Laser and resurfacing
Hair reduction, pigment treatment and ablative CO₂ resurfacing have very different recovery needs.
Firmness and energy-based care
Focused ultrasound, radiofrequency and plasma technologies differ in target, depth, sensation and aftercare.
Injectables and microinfusion
Botulinum toxin, MMP and scalp injections require treatment-specific guidance on pressure, products and activity.
Superficial microvessels
PEIM aftercare depends on the vessels treated, sclerosant used and individual vascular assessment.
AFTERCARE FOUNDATIONS
The Foundations of Aftercare
The instructions I provide after your appointment take priority over general website information.
- Use only the cleansers, moisturisers and repair products recommended for the procedure;
- Avoid repeated touching, rubbing, scratching, squeezing or pressing;
- Allow flakes, peeling or small crusts to release naturally;
- Follow the sun-protection plan discussed for your treatment;
- Ask before restarting retinoids, acids, scrubs or depigmenting products;
- Keep anything that contacts the treated area clean.
Gentle, consistent care can be more valuable than doing too much.
DOS AND DON’TS
Helpful Choices at Home
Do

- Treating aftercare as optional
You deserve to feel supported, even after you leave the treatment room.
DAILY LIFE DURING RECOVERY
Daily Life During Recovery
Exercise
Intense activity may need to be postponed after selected injectables, vascular care or deeper resurfacing.
Heat
Hot showers, saunas, steam and prolonged heat may be unsuitable during early recovery.
Swimming
Pools, hot tubs, lakes and the sea may need to wait while the barrier is disrupted.
Makeup
It may be allowed quickly after some procedures and restricted after others.
Shaving and waxing
Hair-removal methods may need to be adjusted around laser, peels or resurfacing.
Massage and pressure
Do not massage injectable or energy-treated areas unless specifically instructed.
Individual guidance only
I do not impose every possible restriction after every treatment. I explain what applies to the procedure you actually received.
Sun and weather
Wind, strong sun and temperature changes can affect comfort during recovery, so your aftercare plan may include extra protection.
CONTACT AND SAFETY
When to Get in Touch
Temporary redness, warmth, tenderness, swelling, bruising, dryness or peeling may occur after some procedures. The expected response depends on the treatment and should be explained before you leave.
- Contact me if pain is severe or increasing;
- Contact me if redness, swelling or heat continues to spread;
- Contact me for blistering, discharge, an unexpected wound or marked colour change;
- Contact me if altered sensation persists or intensifies;
- Contact me before resuming a product or activity when you are unsure.
Seek urgent medical care
Do not wait for a routine clinic reply for difficulty breathing, speaking or swallowing; rapid facial or throat swelling; fainting; severe generalised weakness; significant visual disturbance; chest pain; sudden shortness of breath; coughing blood; or another serious, rapidly developing reaction.
