Downtime
Before & After Care
다운타임
The recovery period after a procedure during which redness, swelling and marks remain until you return fully to daily life.
What the term refers to
Even for the same procedure, the period differs according to intensity, extent and individual recovery capacity. The expression no downtime does not mean there is no redness at all.
Good to know
If you have an important schedule, it is best to plan with some margin. During the recovery period, gentle cleansing, moisturising and sun protection can help.
