BEFORE & AFTER RESULTS
TREATMENT PREPARATION ADVICE
We recommend following this pre treatment advice before undertaking any invasive treatment including microneedling for wrinkles, DermaQuest resurfacing treatments or chemical peel for pores to avoid disappointment of not being able to have your desired treatment on the day. This is to avoid any contraindications and unwanted side effects. This does not apply to facials or hydra-dermabrasion treatments.
Please refrain from using exfoliants (liquid or chemical) and retinoids (vitamin A) 7 days prior to your facial appointment. E.g. Salicylic acid, retinol, retinal.
Please refrain from using sun beds at all, or atleast 7 days prior to your appointment to reduce the risk of skin sensitivity.
Please arrive to your appointment alone if possible, as we are a private home clinic. However, please inform us prior to your appointment if you would like to bring someone along and we will do our best to accommodate this.
Please refrain from having fillers or botox 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
Please arrive without makeup if possible.
Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing that are easy to remove.

Please know the names of any medication you are taking.
