1 WEEK BEFORE

Hold the hair removal – No sugaring, waxing, shaving etc. for 5-7 days before your facial. Your skin needs that recovery time to be ready for your treatment. Full face sugaring, schedule a week before or after your facial. Stop prescription retinol 1 week before your appointment. Over-the-counter retinol, 3 days.

3-5 DAYS BEFORE

Hold the exfoliation – Stop exfoliants 3 days before your appointment. This includes AHAs, BHAs, scrubs, and especially retinol/retinoids.

No sun exposure – Avoid the sun 3-5 days before your appointment. Wear SPF and a hat, always! If you arrive with a sunburn, you will not be able to receive your treatment as the skin is healing.

DAY OF YOUR APPOINTMENT

Dress comfy – Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. We don’t care what you’re wearing! You will be asked to remove your top and wear a facial wrap so that we can treat your face, neck and décolleté.

When possible, arrive bare-faced – Coming in with a clean face means we get to spend ALL our precious time on that amazing treatment rather than makeup removal. And, you’ll always be able to remove your eye makeup better than we can! If you’re coming from work though, no problem! We can absolutely remove your makeup.
