Laser hair removal
Before your appointment
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours before. Unshaved body appointments have to be rescheduled
- No waxing, plucking or threading in the area for four weeks beforehand, because the laser needs the root
- Stay out of the sun and off the tanning bed for two weeks, and skip self-tanner
- Come with clean skin: no lotion, deodorant, oil or makeup on the area
- Tell us about any medical changes, new medication or recent skincare (retinol, acids, accutane)
After your appointment
- Redness and swelling are normal and usually fade within 24–48 hours
- Apply a cool compress or aloe vera gel to soothe the skin
- Avoid heat on treated areas for 24–48 hours: hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and workouts
- Skip makeup, perfume and deodorant on treated areas for 24 hours
- Avoid sun exposure for two weeks after treatment, and always use SPF 30 or higher
- Do not pick, scratch or exfoliate until the skin has fully calmed
Call us and your doctor right away if you experience blistering, intense swelling or redness that does not settle.
Permanent under-eye concealer
Before you come
- No caffeine for 24 hours before your appointment
- Come with clean skin, no eye makeup
- Tell us about any medical changes
- Plan three sessions across roughly three months
After
- Keep the area dry and unpicked while it heals
- Colour looks strongest for the first few days, then softens as it settles
- No creasing, no smudging, no daily concealer once healed
- SPF protects the result and keeps it looking even
Skin tightening, HydraFacial & lymphatic drainage
Before
- Arrive with clean skin where possible, and no heavy makeup
- Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of, because it makes a real difference
- Pause retinol and strong acids for three days before a HydraFacial
- Let us know about recent injectables, so we can time treatments properly
After
- Keep drinking water for the next 24 hours, especially after lymphatic drainage
- Mild warmth or pinkness settles within a few hours
- Skip saunas, hot yoga and intense workouts for 24 hours
- Daily SPF keeps your results, and there is no downtime otherwise
