Before your appointment
Hair length. About a quarter inch, like a grain of rice. That is roughly two weeks after shaving. For face and PCOS, about a week.
Exfoliate gently two days before, then stop. Nothing the day of.
Pause retinoids and acids (retinol, tretinoin, AHA, BHA) on the area for a few days, and tell us if you use them.
Accutane, a recent peel or laser? Check with us before booking. We may need to wait.
Skip caffeine and alcohol a few hours beforehand if you are sensitive. They can make skin a bit more reactive.
Come clean and lotion-free on the area.
Wear loose clothes. Leggings right after a Brazilian are nobody's friend.
For the next 24 hours
Skip the sweat. No workouts, hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms or pools.
Skip the sun. No tanning, sun beds or self-tanner.
Keep it simple. No heavy lotions or fragranced products on the area.
Keep it loose. Breathable clothes and cotton underwear.
Hands off. Pores are open and happy to collect whatever's on your fingers.

After the first day
Keep these going between visits and your results last longer. Still have a question? Text us at (972) 815-3418.
-
Starting day three, two or three times a week. It's the number one way to prevent ingrowns.
-
Something simple and fragrance-free, once a day.
-
Please don't. Shaving resets the cycle you're working so hard to build.
-
Every four to six weeks to stay on the cycle. After three or four visits, regrowth usually comes back finer.
-
A little pinkness for a few hours is normal. Keep the area cool, clean and covered in loose clothes and it settles quickly.
-
Keep exfoliating gently and don't pick at it. If it's still bothering you after a few days, text us and we'll help.
