Step 1 of 2
Most clients require 4-6 sessions to achieve the desired results from their treatments.
Homecare is required to achieve full benefits of treatment as well as ensure safety during the course of treatments. This will be tailored to individual clients during the complimentary consultation.
Clients may experience redness, irritation, flaking, and itching after their treatment and this can last up to 2 weeks. In most cases however, any irritation would have subsided within 72 hours.
Mild crusting and blistering may occur. Infection and scarring is a rare possibility and occurs in a small % of the population.
Do NOT expose the treatment area to the sun or solarium 4-6 weeks prior to treatment. We recommend you use a physical sunblock with SPF15+ (available in store) at all times.
Do NOT use spray tan or tanning lotions or creams on the area for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. All traces of tan have to be removed. The treatment may have to be postponed if you have a tan.
Do not wax, have laser treatments, microdermabrasion, other chemical peels or clinical treatments on the area for at least 2-4 weeks prior to treatment.
Do NOT have Dermal Fillers or Anti-wrinkle injections within 2 weeks of treatment.
Do NOT use active products, including AHA’s, BHA’s, retinols etc for at least 3 days before treatment.
Avoid exfoliation for 3 days before the treatment.
Advise your therapist of any medication you may be currently taking or have taken within the last 2 weeks, both oral or topical. Please ensure that if this changes, even temporarily, that you notify the clinic. Medications can interfere with the safety of treatments.
It is important to be preparing the skin for the treatment as advised during the consultation.
Redness is a common side effect and may last a few hours to a couple of days after treatment.
The skin may feel tight and irritated, similar to a sunburnt feeling.
Flaking can occur and is a common side effect, it may last up to 2 weeks post treatment
For the best results, use the Post Care Kit for 1-2 weeks post treatment, then continue with the active products recommended by your therapist.
If prone to cold sores, treatment may trigger an outbreak. Can use preventative measures prior to treatment to reduce the risk of breakouts or manage severity
It is important to not touch your skin for at least the first hour post treatment as the skin is open, you will risk infection. Alcohol wipe glasses if you need to wear them and phone etc.
It is extremely important to use a physical SPF15+ or greater.
Until redness has completely subsided, avoid the following:
Make-up over the treated area – Mineral Make-up is ok 1 hour after treatment. Please avoid using make-up brushes.
Perfumed lotions or creams, exfoliants, Retin-A products etc.
Very hot and very cold water – use tepid water
Waxing, hair removal creams, bleaching.
Swimming in pools with multiple chemicals, using spas or saunas
Activities that cause heavy perspiration
Sun exposure of the treatment area (ongoing)
