PRE APPOINTMENT INFORMATION
Before your treatment:
- You must have had prior treatment or consultation before your appointment.
- Cease using products that contain Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, and Retinol A, 24 hours prior to your treatment.
- Avoid alcohol 24 hours before your treatment.
- Avoid coffee prior to your treatment as it can heighten your pain receptors. If you wish, you may take 2 Panadol prior to your appointment.
- Avoid Skin Irritants: Do not have any treatments that may irritate the skin for 1-2 weeks prior (waxing, depilatories, etc.).
- Do not have any anti-wrinkle injections in the treatment area for 1 week.
- Do not have any dermal filler injections in the treatment area for a few weeks beforehand – the timing depends on the filler area. Discuss with your injector to get a more accurate timeframe.

- Avoid sun exposure 2 weeks prior to your treatment. If you are sunburnt, we may not be able to proceed with treatment.
