PRE Facial Treatment
ONE WEEK BEFORE THE TREATMENT
1) Discontinue any topical prescriptions or any products containing Retinol or Vitamin A.
2) Avoid waxing, electrolysis, depilatory creams, and laser hair removal treatments.
3) Avoid sun exposure (indoor and outdoor).
4) Do not receive Botox or dermal fillers within 2weeks of treatment.
5) Do not have another treatment unless recommended.
6) Discontinue all use of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA) and benzoyl peroxide.
7) Stop any exfoliating products that may be drying or irritating.
8) Men - do not shave the day of your treatment.
9) If you have a history of cold sores, please take an antiviral before any treatment at all if you are concerned about it causing a flare up. Just a precaution as most facials and sugaring may be especially stimulating to susceptible areas.
If you are experiencing an active cold sore breakout please do not book until it is resolved.
Post Treatment
IMMEDIATELY POST TREATMENT
After receiving your treatment do not use any skincare products that have not been approved by your licensed esthetician or physician. Use the prescribed after care and make sure to moisturize and wear sunscreen!!
Do not touch your face with dirty hands.
DAYS 1-7 AFTER YOUR TREATMENT
Home care is just as important as the treatments you do, intensive treatments will give the boost of correction but home care will give you the longevity of change. Consult with your esthetician about products that will compliment the treatments you are booking.
After every facial service you will receive customised recommendations based on how your esthetician has assesed your skins needs.
PEELS
Depending on your skin type and strength of peel or service, this is what the first week may look like. Aftercare will help shorten and/or prevent some of these reactions, but peels may make you peel- its ok!!
· Day 1-2: skin is tight and shiny.
· Day 2: skin is reddish brown in color, due to pigment lifting
· Day 3-4-5: peeling.
· Day 6: skin begins healing
