PRE- AND POST TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS​

 

 

For your safety and to ensure optimal treatment outcomes, please review and follow the instructions below carefully.

⸻

Before Treatment

Avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks prior to treatment. If the treatment area is the face, please arrive with all makeup removed.

Do not wax, tweeze, bleach, use depilatory products, or color hair in the treatment area throughout the entire course of treatment. Shaving or trimming is permitted as needed.

Shave the treatment area either the day before or the day of your appointment. If shaving is required during your visit, a $75 shaving fee will apply.

Discontinue the use of skin-lightening agents, exfoliants, and bleaching creams for two days before and two days after treatment.

Arrive for your appointment with clean skin and no lotions, creams, oils, or deodorant applied to the treatment area.

Notify Suite Skin of any changes in your medical history or medications since your last visit, including pregnancy, use of antibiotics or isotretinoin (Accutane), or new tattoos in the treatment area, as these may be contraindications to treatment.

⸻

During Treatment

If you experience discomfort greater than a 4 out of 10 on the pain scale, please inform your provider immediately so the treatment may be paused or adjusted. Most clients report mild discomfort, typically rated 2 to 3 out of 10.

⸻

After Treatment

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to treated areas when exposed to sunlight.

Cleanse the area using lukewarm water and a mild soap. Avoid hot water until any redness or sensitivity has fully resolved.

Treated hairs will gradually shed as part of the normal treatment process. This may take up to four weeks.

Do not rub, scratch, or pick at the treated area.

If any of these contraindications are applicable to you, please call us at 516-996-4810.
