✨ HOW TO PREPARE FOR YOUR AESTHETIC TREATMENT
Good results don’t just depend on the treatment itself — how you prepare can also make a difference to your comfort, recovery and overall experience.
Here are a few simple things to keep in mind before your appointment:
🥗 EAT WELL
Have a balanced meal and avoid arriving hungry, unless you’ve specifically been advised to fast. Focus on nourishing foods, protein and plenty of vegetables.
💧 STAY HYDRATED
Drink plenty of water before and after your treatment. Good hydration supports your overall wellbeing and recovery.
🍷 LIMIT ALCOHOL
Avoid alcohol before treatment where possible, as it may increase bruising, swelling or dehydration depending on the procedure.
💊 CHECK YOUR MEDICATIONS & SUPPLEMENTS
Tell your practitioner about any medications, vitamins or supplements you take. Some can affect bleeding, bruising or healing, and you should never stop prescribed medication without medical advice.
🧴 FOLLOW YOUR PRE-TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
For treatments such as lasers, peels or injectables, you may need to avoid certain skincare products, tanning or other treatments beforehand.
😴 GET A GOOD NIGHT’S SLEEP
Arrive rested and give your body the best possible starting point.
🧼 COME WITH CLEAN SKIN
For many facial treatments, arriving without makeup or heavy skincare products can make preparation easier.
And most importantly…
Every treatment is different, so always follow the specific instructions given by your practitioner.
