PRE & Post treatment directions

PRE

For optimal results, we advise shampooing and conditioning your hair the day before your reservation. This ensures that excessive oils won't interfere with the color process. Additionally, if you've recently scrubbed your scalp, it may become sensitive to the color application.

POST  

During your consultation and throughout your reservation, your stylist will guide you on the necessary home care items to optimize your hair care investment.

To preserve your hair's color and health, we recommend using sulfate-free shampoo and daily conditioner designed for color-treated hair. Additionally, you'll receive advice on other home care products to maintain your style.

We advise against shampooing every day, as it can strip natural oils, leading to dryness, split ends, and even thinning. By reducing unnecessary heat styling, you'll minimize damage and keep your hair in its best condition.

PRE

Rest assured, we'll take care of everything. Prior to your Keratin service, we'll thoroughly cleanse your hair to ensure the best results.

Gently exfoliate the treatment area with one of our Eminence Exfoliators, avoiding aggressive exfoliation to ensure the skin's integrity. For bikini waxes, consider a mild anti-inflammatory to ease discomfort and minimize swelling.

Pause the use of retinoids and chemical exfoliants for at least 7 days prior to prevent potential skin lifting.  Avoid botox & fillers 14 days prior.  If sun exposure is in your routine, refrain from it for a minimum of 24 hours before your appointment to avoid skin redness. Engage in exercise before your waxing, as post-wax workouts can lead to breakouts. Lastly, having a touch of cortisone cream can be handy for soothing any post-service irritation. Your safety and comfort are our priority.

POST

Steer clear of sun exposure for 24 hours or until tenderness fades, avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and acne medication for 24 hours, and minimize intense physical activity for 12 hours to prevent inflammation. Stay away from hot tubs for 12 hours to prevent chemical absorption, and skip fragranced products for the same duration. Begin gentle exfoliation 48 hours post-waxing, thrice weekly, to reduce ingrown hairs, and consider discontinuing bar soaps if ingrown hairs are problematic.

Minimize sun exposure in the days leading up to the treatment, as sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive during the procedure. Discontinue the use of exfoliating products or treatments, such as chemical peels and scrubs, at least one week before your dermaplaning session.

When cleansing your face after dermaplaning, use a gentle cleanser to avoid irritating the skin. Refrain from using harsh cleansers or products with active ingredients for a few days to prevent potential sensitivity. To keep your skin nourished and prevent dryness, apply a soothing and hydrating moisturizer. Avoid activities that may cause excessive sweating, such as hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercises, for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

In preparation for a chemical peel, remember to limit sun exposure and use sunscreen daily at least two weeks prior to the treatment to avoid complications. Discontinue the use of exfoliating products like retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs 7 days before peel to prevent skin sensitivity.

To optimize your red light therapy session, we recommend arriving with clean, oil-free skin. Loose-fitting clothing that is easy to take on and off will enhance your comfort during the treatment.

After your red light therapy, you'll experience warmth and move on to a 15-minute full body vibration plate session. To ensure maximum comfort, please wear sneakers similar to those you would wear for running or at the gym.

POST

For optimal results, red-light therapy should be cumulative, with the most significant changes appearing during the final 25% of treatment plans. Hydration is crucial, as well. Aim for a minimum of 64 ounces of water daily to aid in flushing out fat from your system. Before and after your treatment, stay well-hydrated, as red and infrared light are drawn to well-hydrated cells.

To complement the therapy, follow a low-fat and low-carb diet. Avoid sugars, fats (including fried foods), and carbohydrates, while incorporating salads, green vegetables, lean meats, and fish. Aim for five meals totaling 1200 calories daily. After treatment, reduce caloric intake by 500-800 calories daily. Incorporating cardio exercises after treatment, such as walking, jogging, or using a stair master, helps burn 350 calories in targeted areas. Consider using a full-body vibration plate followed by an energetic cardio workout. Using a liver detox supplement during the treatment course is recommended, but consult with your physician beforehand.

For the best results, avoid alcohol during the treatment plan, as it can hinder progress and results. Reducing caffeine intake is also advised to prevent dehydration. Our recommended plan includes at least 9-15 visits to achieve results similar to the before and after pictures. If your response to the treatment is favorable, you can purchase additional visits at a discounted rate.
