Introduction

In the world of modern aesthetics, anti-aging facials have become a powerful tool in the fight against fine lines, dullness, and loss of elasticity. But while the treatment itself works wonders, your results depend heavily on what you do before and after your session. Want to make every facial count? This guide reveals the essential tips and expert strategies from Westwood Clinic to help you maximise the glow, firmness, and youthful radiance from your anti-aging facial—so your skin doesn’t just look better, it stays better.

What Makes An Anti-Aging Facial So Effective?

When it comes to preserving youthful skin, few treatments are as impactful as a well-designed anti-aging facial. But what exactly makes it so effective? At Westwood Clinic, it’s all about combining science, skill, and skin-specific solutions. A proper anti-aging facial isn’t just about surface-level cleansing—it dives deeper, targeting the root causes of visible aging such as collagen loss, dehydration, and skin fatigue. Here’s what sets our facials apart:

Advanced Collagen Stimulation

Treatments like HIFU and microneedling work below the surface to trigger your body’s natural collagen production—giving your skin tighter, firmer support from within.

Cell Renewal & Texture Smoothing

CO2 Laser therapy resurfaces the skin by removing dead cells, reducing pigmentation, and smoothing fine lines—perfect for reviving dull or uneven skin.
Deep Hydration and Nourishment

Our skin booster injections replenish moisture at the cellular level, helping your skin stay plump, radiant, and resilient against aging.
Tailored to Your Skin’s Age and Needs

Whether you’re dealing with fine lines, sagging, or uneven tone, your facial is customised using advanced skin analysis tools and MOH-certified protocols.

In short, an anti-aging facial at Westwood Clinic is more than a treatment—it’s a transformation. And when paired with the right skincare and lifestyle habits, the results can be long-lasting and truly age-defying.

How Should You Prepare Before an Anti-Aging Facial?

To get the most out of your anti-aging facial, the preparation starts days before you even step into the clinic. At Westwood Clinic, we believe that the right pre-facial habits can significantly enhance your results—making your skin more receptive to treatment and reducing the risk of sensitivity.

Here’s what you should do before your appointment:

Pause Active Skincare Products
Avoid using harsh actives like retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or strong exfoliants for at least 2–3 days prior. These ingredients can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation during your treatment.
Stay Hydrated Inside and Out
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Well-hydrated skin responds better to facials, absorbs nutrients more efficiently, and recovers faster post-treatment.
Get Quality Sleep the Night Before
A rested body means better circulation, reduced inflammation, and more glowing skin. Aim for at least 7–8 hours of good sleep the night before your session.
Be Transparent During Your Consultation
Don’t hold back—share any recent breakouts, skin sensitivities, allergies, or treatments you’ve had. The more our practitioners know, the better they can tailor your facial to suit your exact needs and avoid potential complications.

What Happens During an Anti-Aging Facial at Westwood Clinic?

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on during an anti-aging facial, here’s your behind-the-scenes look—so you can feel confident, informed, and ready for results.

At Westwood Clinic, each session is more than a routine facial—it’s a medically guided, skin-transforming experience designed to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out.

Here’s what you can expect:

Step 1: Professional Skin Analysis & Consultation
Your journey starts with a thorough skin assessment by our trained aesthetic team. We evaluate your concerns, skin type, and lifestyle before customising the ideal treatment plan.

Step 2: Deep Cleanse & Gentle Exfoliation
We begin with a deep cleanse to remove impurities, followed by gentle exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells—preparing your skin for maximum absorption of active ingredients.

Step 3: Advanced Anti-Aging Technology Application
Depending on your skin needs, we’ll incorporate advanced modalities such as:

HIFU for lifting and firming
Microneedling for collagen induction
CO2 Laser for skin resurfacing
Skin Boosters for deep hydration and radiance

Step 4: Soothing Mask & Aftercare Finish
A calming, nutrient-rich mask is applied to nourish and soothe the skin post-treatment. This is followed by sun protection and a tailored aftercare plan.

Step 5: Medically Supervised Care, Every Step of the Way
Unlike spa facials, all our procedures are conducted in a medically certified environment by licensed professionals. Your safety, comfort, and results are our top priority.

What Should You Avoid After an Anti-Aging Facial?

Your facial doesn’t end when you leave the clinic—in fact, what you do after your session is just as important as the treatment itself. Proper post-care ensures your skin heals beautifully, stays calm, and maximises the results.

Here are the key dos and don’ts to follow after your anti-aging facial at Westwood Clinic:

Do: Stick to Gentle, Hydrating Skincare
For the next 2–3 days, use only mild cleansers, fragrance-free moisturisers, and a hydrating serum or cream. Your skin is in a delicate, receptive state—nourish it with calming, barrier-supporting products.
Don’t: Expose Your Skin to the Sun
Avoid direct sunlight, even on cloudy days. UV exposure can undo the benefits of your facial and lead to pigmentation. If you must go outdoors, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) and a wide-brimmed hat.
Don’t: Wear Heavy Makeup Immediately
Let your skin breathe. Skip foundation and concealer for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation or clogged pores.
Don’t: Hit the Sauna or Do Intense Workouts
Sweating too soon after your facial can introduce bacteria and trigger inflammation. Avoid saunas, hot showers, and vigorous exercise for at least 24 hours.
Don’t: Drink Alcohol the Same Day
Alcohol can dehydrate the skin and increase redness. Stick to water and calming teas to support your skin’s recovery.

How Can You Boost Your Facial Results Even Further?

While a single anti-aging facial can deliver noticeable improvements, pairing it with the right supporting treatments can elevate your results from “better” to “wow.” At Westwood Clinic, we believe in a holistic approach to skin health—combining in-clinic expertise with synergistic therapies to enhance and prolong your glow. Here are some powerful add-ons to consider:

IV Drip Therapy for Skin Hydration & Radiance
Formulated with antioxidants, vitamins, and hydration boosters, our custom IV drips support your skin from the inside out—enhancing elasticity, brightness, and overall vitality.
Skin Boosters for Long-Lasting Dewiness
Micro-injections of hyaluronic acid or PDRN help lock in moisture, improve skin texture, and strengthen the skin barrier. They work beautifully with facials for deeper, more durable results.
LED Light Therapy for Healing & Rejuvenation
Red and blue light wavelengths reduce inflammation, speed up healing, and stimulate collagen—making them ideal post-facial companions, especially after microneedling or laser treatments.
Commit to a Regular Schedule
To maintain your results, we recommend a personalised maintenance plan—typically every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your skin type and goals. This keeps your collagen production active and your complexion consistently refreshed.
