Laser Removal Prep
Following pre treatment advice is an important step to achieving the best possible results.
Your LASER pre-treatment advice:
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or spray tans for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. Tanned skin increases the risk of burns and complications. Please wear SPF on and surrounding the treatment area.
• Do not use self-tanning products on the treatment area for 2 weeks before your appointment.
• Avoid using products containing retinol, AHA, BHA, or other exfoliating acids on the treatment area for at least 1 month prior.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements (e.g., aspirin, warfarin, ibuprofen, St. John’s Wort, omega-3/fish oil, vitamin E) for 7 days prior, unless prescribed by a doctor. Always consult your GP before stopping any medication. If you do take any of these medications, you must advise us.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before treatment.
• Ensure you are well-hydrated and have eaten prior to your appointment to help reduce sensitivity.
• Remove any makeup and cleanse the treatment area gently, but thoroughly,
on the day of your appointment.
• Avoid waxing, threading, or plucking hairs in the treatment area for 1 week before treatment.
• If you are prone to cold sores or skin irritation in the area to be treated, please notify us in advance.
• You can expect an element of swelling and will need to spend some time icing the area, so we advise to avoid planning any important social or work events immediately after the treatment.
Eyebrows Removal
• No tinting or dyeing your eyebrows for 2 weeks before treatment.
•No eyebrow lamination for 4 weeks prior.
• Do not wax, thread, or tweeze the brows for 1 week prior.
• Ensure the brow area is clean and free of makeup on the day of treatment.
Eyeliner Removal
• Have any eyelash extensions or false lashes professionally removed at least 5 days before your appointment.
• If you wear contact lenses, please remove them before your treatment and wear your glasses instead.
• Do not use lash growth serum for at least 4 weeks before your appointment.
• If you have had eyelid surgery or blepharoplasty, please ensure at least 12 months have passed since the procedure.
• Inform us if you have any history of any eye infections, cysts or styes.
Lip Blush Removal
• Avoid lipstick, lip balms (other than plain, non-active balms), or lip gloss on the day of treatment.
• Avoid lip stains, or drying matte effect lip sticks for 1 week prior.
• Be prepared to use gentle lip balms post-treatment to maintain hydration.
