Before You Arrive

  • Ensure the treatment area has at least 3 days of hair growth before your appointment.
     
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol, 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 30 minutes prior to treatment.
     
  • Showering and clean hair must be done prior to your appointment or you may be asked to reschedule. You will be responsible for the cost of the missed appointment.

After Your Appointment

  • Use a cold compress to reduce swelling and redness after treatment.
     
  • Apply sunscreen to prevent hyperpigmentation following your session.
     
  • 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.
     
  • Avoid deodorant for 24 hours after underarm treatments and makeup after facial treatments.
     
  • If you need to remove hair between treatments, use scissors to clip it. Never pluck, wax, or thread, as these methods can prolong your overall treatment process. For best results, leave the hair untouched until your next appointment. If visible hair is a concern, ask about scheduling more frequent, shorter appointments to manage growth.
