Your Post-Treatment Must-Haves: Nurse Monique's Top Aftercare Picks

Monique Radatti • October 17, 2025


As a Registered Nurse, I believe your care doesn't end when you leave the clinic. Ensuring a smooth, comfortable healing process is just as important to me. I know firsthand that side effects like bruising, swelling, and tenderness can be a concern—I’m often asked, “Will I bruise?”. The honest answer is that it can happen, but taking the right steps with quality products can make a difference in your recovery. That's why I'm sharing my absolute favourite post-treatment essentials, all available right here at our clinic in Eltham! Trust me, your skin will thank you!


Treating the delicate under-eye area requires special care. That’s why I recommend  SIMKA Under Eye Masks!


The Benefit:
These masks can help reduce swelling, calm inflammation, and improve the look of dark circles.


Best After:
Under-eye rejuvenation treatments, as they can soothe and hydrate the area to speed up your recovery.



For anyone who has had or is considering a lip treatment (such as a volume improving treatment), having a reliable aftercare product is key.


The Benefit:
The arnica in this balm soothes your lips, assisting in reducing bruising and swelling, keeping your lips smooth and hydrated.


Best After:
Arnicare Lip Balm is a lifesaver for post lip treatments, and I frequently recommend it.



This is one of my two go-to post-treatment products minimising bruising and downtime! I often suggest using Arnicare Healing Cream—a natural, plant-based formula designed to help reduce common side effects.


The Benefit:
Arnica works by reducing inflammation and helping your body reabsorb blood. It helps to heal bruises for a quicker recovery and reduced downtime.


Best After:
This cream supports a more comfortable and faster recovery from your wrinkle reduction treatments and other services. Apply gently to the treated area 2–3 times daily. Please remember to avoid applying it to broken skin.



Effective aftercare helps you get the best treatment results and ensures a smoother healing process. Remember, everyone’s healing experience is unique and results may vary.
