Before Treatment Care...

  • Ensure the treatment area has at least 3 days of hair growth before your appointment.
     
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol on the day of  treatment, as they can dehydrate your skin. Instead, drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and healthy.
     
  • Discontinue the use of retinols and other harsh skincare products at least one week prior to your appointment.
     
  • If you have any conditions affecting your heart, skin, blood, or hair or are pregnant, please consult your physician before scheduling your treatment.
     
  • Arrive with a clean treatment area: no makeup for facial treatments and no deodorant for underarm treatments.
     
  • All numbing creams or topicals used for numbing must be applied 45 minutes prior to treatment.

After Treatment Care...

  • Use a cold compress to reduce any swelling and redness after treatment.
     

  • Be mindful to apply sunscreen on any treated area to prevent hyperpigmentation.
     

  • Refrain from rubbing, scratching, or picking at the treated area. It’s normal for small scabs or crusts to form. Do not pick at them; they will naturally heal and fall off during the recovery process. Picking can cause pigmentation or scarring.
     

  • Avoid using strong or active skincare ingredients for at least 48 hours after a facial treatment.
     

  • Do not use products containing alcohol, as they can irritate the skin after treatment.
     

  • No deodorant for 1 day after underarm treatments

  • No makeup for 24 hrs after facial treatments.
     

  • Never pluck/wax/thread between treatments.      If you need to remove hair between treatments, use scissors instead.
