SKINOLOGÉ

Q: Can I have more than one treatment in the same appointment?

A: Sometimes, yes. Certain treatments can be safely combined to create a more comprehensive treatment, while others should be performed separately to allow the skin adequate time to recover. For example, some of our treatments combine professional peeling with microneedling, while other combinations may increase the risk of irritation or compromise the skin barrier. Your practitioner will assess your skin and determine whether combining treatments is appropriate. More treatments do not necessarily mean better results.

Q: How long should I wait between treatments?

A: There is no universal timeframe because it depends on the treatments performed and how your skin responds. Some professional protocols can be repeated at relatively short intervals, while treatments such as microneedling and stronger resurfacing treatments may require longer recovery periods. Your practitioner will recommend the appropriate treatment interval based on your individual skin and the manufacturer’s professional protocol.

Q: Can I have a treatment if I’m using retinol?

A: Potentially, but retinol and prescription retinoids may need to be paused before certain treatments. The required timeframe varies depending on the treatment and the type of retinoid you use. For example, the current professional PRX-T33 instructions specifically state that topical retinoic acid/isotretinoin should be discontinued 7 days before treatment.  Peels and microneedling may also require you to temporarily stop retinoids and exfoliating acids. Please don’t stop a prescription medication without speaking to your prescribing clinician. Instead, tell us exactly what you are using and we will advise you on treatment suitability.

Q: Can I have a treatment before a holiday?

A: Yes, but the timing is important. We generally recommend booking professional skin-renewal treatments sufficiently in advance of holidays, particularly if you are travelling somewhere sunny. Peels and other resurfacing treatments can temporarily increase sensitivity, and diligent sun protection is particularly important afterwards. PRX-T33 is designed without visible peeling, but WiQo still recommends a personalised protocol and appropriate ongoing skincare.  If you have a holiday approaching, please tell us when you are travelling so we can recommend the safest treatment and timing. We do not recommend having a new or potentially intensive treatment immediately before a holiday.

Q: Can I wear makeup after my treatment?

A: This depends on the treatment. Following some professional peels, we recommend allowing the skin time to settle before applying makeup. For BioRePeelCl3, post-treatment protocols commonly recommend avoiding makeup for approximately 24 hours, although your individual instructions will take precedence. Following microneedling, the timeframe may be different. Your practitioner will tell you exactly when you can safely resume makeup following your treatment.

Q: When will I see results?

A: This varies between treatments and between individuals. Some treatments can produce an immediate improvement in the appearance of radiance, hydration, smoothness or firmness, while other results develop progressively as the skin renews. For example, WiQo describes PRX-T33 as providing visible improvements from the first session, with progressive improvement through an appropriate treatment programme. With TOSKANI treatments, results depend on the specific protocol and the individual’s clinical response.  Your practitioner will explain what you can realistically expect from your chosen treatment.

Q: How long do results last?

A: There isn’t one set duration that applies to every treatment. Results are influenced by your skin condition, age, lifestyle, sun exposure, homecare routine and whether you complete a recommended treatment programme. Professional treatments are designed to improve the appearance and condition of your skin, but they don’t stop the natural ageing process. A personalised maintenance programme and appropriate homecare can help support your results over time.

Q: Do I need a course of treatments?

A: Not always. Some clients may benefit from a single treatment for a specific concern or to give their skin a refresh. For concerns such as pigmentation, congestion, texture, acne scarring or visible signs of ageing, a course of treatments may provide more progressive results. Your practitioner will recommend a treatment schedule based on your skin rather than automatically recommending a fixed number of sessions.

Q: What happens if my skin reacts after treatment?

A: Some temporary redness, warmth, tightness, dryness, tingling or mild peeling can be an expected response following certain treatments. However, significant or unexpected reactions should always be reported to Skinologé. Please don’t try to treat a reaction yourself with strong active skincare. Contact us so we can assess your symptoms and advise you appropriately. TOSKANI’s professional guidance similarly recommends evaluating a skin reaction and adjusting or discontinuing treatment where appropriate.  If you experience severe swelling, blistering, significant pain, difficulty breathing or another serious reaction, seek urgent medical attention.

Q: Can men have these treatments?

A: Absolutely. All of our treatments are available to suitable clients regardless of gender. Skinologé treatments are selected according to skin condition, concerns and treatment goals, rather than gender. Men can benefit from professional treatments for concerns including congestion, acne, pigmentation, uneven texture, signs of ageing, dehydration and loss of firmness.

Q: Can I have treatments if I have sensitive skin?

A: Potentially, yes. Having sensitive skin does not automatically mean that professional treatments are unsuitable. However, treatment selection and intensity need to be carefully considered. Your practitioner will assess your skin barrier, sensitivity, current skincare and treatment history before recommending a treatment. Some treatments may be suitable with modifications, while others may need to be postponed until the skin barrier is healthy. TOSKANI also advises that suitability for sensitive skin should be assessed individually, including appropriate testing where recommended. 

Q: How do I know which treatment is right for my skin?

A: Every treatment begins with a professional consultation and skin assessment. Your practitioner will consider your skin type, condition, concerns, sensitivity, current skincare and treatment history before recommending the most appropriate treatment. We believe in personalised skin health rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Q: How many treatments will I need?

A: This depends on the treatment, your skin condition and your individual goals. Some clients notice an improvement following one treatment, while a course may be recommended for progressive results. Your practitioner will advise you on the most appropriate treatment plan during your consultation.

Q: Will I peel after my treatment?

A: Not necessarily. Each treatment behaves differently. PRX-T33 and PRX-PLUS are designed to work without the typical visible peeling associated with conventional chemical peels. BioRePeelCl3 BODY is a professional peeling treatment and the skin’s response can vary between individuals. Your practitioner will explain what to expect following your specific treatment.

Q: Why is a consultation important?

A: Professional skin treatments should be selected according to the condition of your skin, not simply your skin type. At Skinologé, every treatment is approached individually so that we can select the most appropriate treatment, intensity and combination for your skin. Your skin. Your concerns. Your personalised Skinologé treatment plan. At Skinologé, we believe… The best treatment isn’t necessarily the strongest treatment  it’s the treatment that’s right for your skin. Every treatment begins with understanding your skin, your concerns and your goals. Our aim is to create a personalised treatment plan that supports healthy, resilient and beautiful skin over time.

Q: Is there any downtime?

A: Downtime varies depending on the treatment and individual skin response. PRX-T33 and PRX-PLUS are designed as low-downtime treatments, while acid peels and combination treatments may produce temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness or peeling. You will receive personalised aftercare following your treatment.
