HOW TO PREPARE YOUR SKIN FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT
​
The following is recommended:
- No Botox or chemical peels within 4 weeks of the procedure - No waxing 3 weeks prior to the procedure
- One week prior to treatment, and until you’re fully healed (8 weeks) clients should refrain from using Retin A products and any strong skin care products on or near the treatment area so to ensure the color lasts.
- 24 hours before the procedure refrain from alcohol and all blood thinners including but not limited to, Ibuprofen Tylenol, Advil.
- 2-3 hours before procedure refrain from caffeine and have something to eat. Keeping blood sugars steady will help you be more comfortable and less sensitive.

​
- on the evening after your appointment use a clean, damp piece of paper towel and apply gentle pressure the treatment area for 1 min to expel any built up lymph
