AFTERCARE ADVICE
*Ear wax/residue may naturally work its way out of the ear over the following 24-48 hours, this is normal (I recommend that you protect your pillows with a towel to prevent staining of your bedding).
Do not submerge your head under water for 24 hours after your treatment and try to avoid cold air blowing into your ears.
Do not insert anything, including cotton buds inside your ears.
Drinking plenty of water, squash or herbal teas to help eliminate toxins and flush out the lymphatic system.
If you experience a runny nose please blow it rather than sniffing.
If you had a bit of a cold at the time of your treatment please note your symptoms may get worse.
You should leave a minimum of 48 hours between treatments.
