Before Care
Exfoliate a week before to get rid of any dead skin cells on your body
Moisturize your skin to prepare for your treatment
Shave/Wax areas 2 days prior if needed. No laser treatments.
No tanning before appointment to avoid sunburn.
No alcohol or blood thinners 3 days before your appointment.
Wear loose clothes day of appointment, the areas treated will be slightly tender
Please eat something before we meet and drink lots of water
No lotion, oils or sweat on skin, I need the area to be bare of chemicals
You won't be able to work-out for a week, and no showering the night of your treatment
Taking collagen supplements post treatment is reccomended. I recommend "Sparkle Verisol Collagen" - its affordable and great quality, you can find it on amazon.
If you are diabetic, please let me know
FITZ 4-6 RECCOMEDATIONS PRIOR TO TREATMENT:
THIS IS OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANY TAN TO DARKER SKIN TONES FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS.
1-2 WEEKS PRIOR TO APPOINTMENT - I RECOMMEND MY CLIENTS TO GENTLY EXFOLIATE THE AREA(S). THIS WILL HELP REMOVE ANY DEAD SKIN, & REVEAL NEW SKIN. THIS CAN BE DONE 2-3 TIMES OF THE WEEK. THEN START APPLYING "COLD PRESSED ROSEHIP SEED OIL" 2-3X A DAY PRIOR TO THEIR APPOINTMENT, THIS WILL HELP MOISTURIZE/PREP THEIR SKIN FOR OPTIMAL RECOVERY.
After Care
First 3 Days to reduce swelling, cold compress the areas 3-4x/daily for 10 minutes
Apply aftercare oil provided on treated areas 3x day with clean hands
No working out or excessive sweating for first 5-7 days. You want to avoid sweating.
Do not wash the area with scented soap, use antiseptic soap or Dove sensitive body soap.
Do not shower with HOT water as it may cause irritation for the first few days.
No salt water, no exfoliation, no laser hair removal or waxing on areas for 14 days
No sunbathing or direct sun exposure on areas for 40 days
First 30 days, do not use sunscreen, sunblock, or self tanning
No pools or jacuzzi for the first 30 days to avoid infections1st 40 days, stretch marks will be dark, please don't panic

PHASES OF HEALING:
DAY 1: AREA IS BRIGHT WITH SOME SWELLING FOR UP TO 24-48 HRS
DAY 2-3: AREA MAY FEEL A LITTLE TENDER
DAY 3-7: AREA IS DARK RED & MAY FEEL ITCHY, THIS IS NORMAL
DAY 7-14: AREA MAY SHOW A FALSE POSITIVE RESULT (UP TO 2-3 WEEKS)
DAY 14-21: AREA IS SHADES OF PINK, RED OR BROWN. MAY REMAIN LONGER ON DEEP AREAS
AFTER DAY 30: AREA WILL START TO NORMALIZE WITH NEW COLLAGEN GROWTH.
RARELY ANYONE HEALS WITHIN 6 WEEKS, USUALLY AN AVERAGE HEALING TIME IS 8 WEEKS. SOME CLIENTS MAY NEED 12 WEEKS. YOU WILL KNOW YOU ARE HEALED WHEN THERE IS NO MORE HYPERPIGMENTATION PRESENT (INSIDE/OUTTER LINES OF STRETCH MARKS).
SMOKERS, DIABETICS GENERALLY HEAL SLOWLER. EVERYONE RESPONDS DIFFERENTLY & EACH SESSION IS DIFFERENT.
WHAT TO EXPECT POST TREATMENT:
• WE ENCOURAGE CLIENTS TO USE AFTERCARE OILS RELIGIOUSLY (3X A DAY) TO HELP WITH HEALING
• THE TREATED AREA MIGHT LOOK RED/DARKER THAN THE SKIN TONE FOR 4-8 WEEKS, SOMETIMES LONGER. REMAIN PATIENT DURING THE HEALING PROCESS
• THE TREATED AREA WILL TYPICALLY STING AFTER A SHOWER FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS.
• AS THE AREA HEALS, IT MIGHT BE DRY, ITCHY & FLAKEY.
