Thank you for choosing Ya Wee Butey for your Polynucleotide treatment. Please follow these aftercare instructioPolyns carefully to achieve the best results.

This advanced regenerative procedure helps to improve skin texture, elasticity, hydration, and overall quality by stimulating cellular renewal and collagen production.

To achieve the best results and minimise the risk of side effects, please follow the aftercare instructions below carefully.

Immediately After Treatment

It is normal to experience the following temporary effects:

• Mild redness, swelling, or small raised bumps (papules) at injection sites.

• Tenderness or a feeling of tightness in the treated area.

• Slight bruising or pinpoint marks.

These effects usually settle within 24–72 hours, though small bumps under the skin (especially around the eyes) may take a few days to fully smooth out.

Post-Treatment Care

✅ Do not touch, rub, or massage the treated area for at least 12 hours.
✅ Avoid makeup or skincare products (other than those recommended by your practitioner) for 24 hours.
✅ Keep the area clean and dry — use only gentle cleansers and avoid active ingredients (e.g. acids, retinols, or exfoliants).
✅ Apply a cold compress if needed to reduce swelling or tenderness — avoid direct ice contact with skin. 

For the First 48–72 Hours      

Do’s

Keep your skin clean and hydrated with a gentle moisturiser.

Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to protect against UV damage.

Sleep on your back with your head slightly elevated, especially after eye treatments, to help reduce swelling.

Stay hydrated and maintain a balanced diet to support healing.

Avoid

❌ Touching, pressing, or massaging the treated area.
❌ Strenuous exercise or heavy sweating for 48 hours.
❌ Hot environments — saunas, steam rooms, sunbeds, or hot baths.
❌ Alcohol, caffeine, and salty foods (which can increase swelling).
❌ Applying makeup or perfumed products for 24 hours.
❌ Facial treatments such as peels, lasers, microneedling, or facials for at least 2 weeks.

Healing & Results

✨ Mild redness or small bumps are common and should subside naturally within a few days.
✨ Bruising (particularly around the eye area) can occur — this will fade over several days.
✨ Results are gradual, with skin improvement becoming more visible over 2–4 weeks as collagen and elastin production increases.
✨ A course of treatments (typically 2–4 sessions spaced 2–4 weeks apart) is recommended for optimal, long-lasting results.

Aftercare for the Eye Area (Specific Guidance)

• The skin around the eyes is delicate and may swell slightly for 24–48 hours.

• Sleep elevated for the first two nights to minimise swelling.

• Avoid rubbing or applying pressure to the area.

• Do not use eye creams or concealer for 24 hours post-treatment.

• Continue gentle care and sun protection daily.

Supporting Your Results

💧 Drink plenty of water — hydration enhances the regenerative effect.
🌤 Always wear SPF 30+ and avoid unprotected sun exposure.
🍎 Maintain a healthy diet and avoid smoking, which can slow skin regeneration.
🧴 Use only skincare products recommended by your practitioner.
