Guidelines For Treatment

Appointment Guidelines

• Please be on time for your appointment.
• Please give at least 24 hours notice for cancellations or you will be charged $35.
• Please do not bring your children with you to your treatment.
• Please inform your treatment specialist if you have herpes or any other serious or contagious medical condition. It is your responsibility to inform us.

Before Your Treatment

• PLEASE wash your face of make-up before treatment, use your normal cleanser. (If you don't want to do this, we can remove the make-up for you just before the treatment.) If you are having vessels on the body or legs removed, we suggest washing with Hibiclens before coming in for treatment. This will reduce bacteria and help against infection (not likely in any case)

• DO NOT take aspirin before or after the treatment (24 hrs). Aspirin causes unnecessary bleeding.

• YOU MAY take Tylenol or Advil before treatment if you think you will be sensitive to the treatment. Advil is preferred, because it will slightly diminish swelling after the treatment. Take this with food.

• PLEASE eat something before treatment. We recommend a small meal with carbohydrates to raise your blood sugar. This helps relax you and minimizes treatment sensitivity.

• PLEASE come in one hour early if we are going to use cream anesthesia.

• DO NOT drink coffee or other beverages with caffeine: This increases your pain level and causes nervousness.

• PLEASE wear comfortable clothing. If you are having leg vessels treated, wear loose fitting pants. Do not wear hose of any kind; you will not be able to put them on after the treatment. Depending upon your procedure, woman, please wear white panties.

After Your Treatment

• DO NOT stretch your skin in an attempt to see what has been done.

• DO NOT wash your face, body or legs until the next day. Just leave it alone!

• YOU MAY take Advil or Tylenol after the treatment, but this should not be necessary.

• DO NOT apply make-up right after. If you want make-up, please allow us to apply it for you. Application must be done carefully to not interfere with the treatment.

• DO NOT exercise until the next day. No yoga, sauna, hot tubs and stay out of the sun.

• PLEASE wear sun block on the area for the next two weeks or so. Apply this very carefully and do not rub the area.

• PLEASE just go about your regular routine after about 48 hours. No special care is needed, and extraordinary procedures are unnecessary. You will notice tiny crusts, but this is normal, and they will fall off in 7 to 10 days (Face and Body), and about 2 to 3 weeks (legs).
