Before & After Care

Everything you need to know for best results

SUGARING

Before: Sugaring is not recommended if you have an infectious or blood-borne illness, cold sores, slow healing/easy bruising, psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, rashes, bruising, or swelling, or a recent sunburn. Consult your doctor first if receiving chemo or radiation. Be mindful of skin-thinning medications (antibiotics, tretinoin, retinol, Accutane).

  • Wait 6 months after Accutane

  • Wait 1 week after dermaplaning or vitamin C treatments

  • For 48 hours: no exfoliation, excessive sun/heat/sweat, tight clothing or friction (including sexual activity if in the bikini area), or natural bodies of water

  • Between appointments: stay exfoliated and moisturized, especially the bikini area if prone to ingrowns

SCULPTING FACIALS
