To help achieve the best possible results from your facial, please follow the advice below before your appointment.
Before your facial treatment
- Avoid using retinol, retinoids, exfoliating products (including AHAs and BHAs) or any active skincare products for 3-5 days before your treatment.
- Avoid waxing and threading on the treatment area for 5 days prior.
- Avoid laser, chemical peels, microdermabrasion or any other resurfacing treatments on the treatment area for 2 weeks prior.
- Please wait at least 2 weeks after Botox and 4 weeks after injectables before having a facial.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure or sun beds prior to your facial.
- Stay well hydrated and drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment.
- If possible, arrive with minimal or no make up.
- Please inform me of any changes to medical history, medications, allergies, or recent skin treatments before your appointment.
- If you are feeling unwell or have a contagious illness, please reschedule your appointment.
- Please inform me if you are experiencing an active cold sore, open wound, severe skin irritation or infection in the treatment area before your appointment. It may be necessary to reschedule.
- Please inform me if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or currently under medical care for a condition.
