Your To-Do List:

We’re all about getting you the best results—safely. That’s why it’s so important that you come to your appointments fully prepared and follow all pre- and post-care instructions closely.

Please take the time to review this checklist in preparation for your appointment: 

PRE-TREATMENT CARE:

  • Shave the treatment area (morning of or night before) 
  • Ensure that you have not been using any hair removal methods that remove the follicle (waxing, tweezing, sugaring, etc.) for 6 weeks prior. Continue with only shaving in between sessions
  • DO NOT apply topical numbing cream
  • Avoid sun exposure 1-2 weeks prior (cannot be sunburnt or excessively tanned) 
  • Do not use any self tanning products 2-3 weeks prior (ensure it is fully removed before appointment) 
  • No antibiotics (or other contraindicating medications) 2 weeks prior 
  • No procedures or cosmetic treatments 2 weeks prior (e.g., injectables, tattoos, microneedling, etc.)

POST-TREATMENT CARE:

  • Avoid hot environments for 24 hours (hot tubs, hot showers, saunas, etc.)
  • Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours 
  • Do not shave or apply any creams for 24 hours 
  • Avoid direct sun exposure in the treatment area for 24 hours. Apply (and re-apply!) sunscreen diligently in any exposed treatment area for 2 weeks
  • No antibiotics (or other contraindicating medications) 2 weeks
  • No procedures or cosmetic treatments 2 weeks prior (e.g., injectables, tattoos, microneedling, etc.)
