The applicator has a cooling feature built into it to make the treatment as comfortable as possible, but you might feel a bit of discomfort if you’re treating a more sensitive area, like the upper lip. If you find it too uncomfortable, let your Aesthetic Practitioner know and they can adjust the treatment accordingly.

Make sure your skin is clean. Do not apply any lotions, creams, or makeup before your session, and stop using any products that might irritate your skin 2-3 days before. You must also avoid tanning, including with self-tanners. You may be advised to shave the area before your treatment. Remove all jewellery around the area being treated.

As long as you don’t have any of the listed contraindications, which our Aesthetic Practitioner will discuss with you during your consultation. A few of the contraindications which may prevent treatment are metal pins and plates in the treatment area, pregnancy, or a pacemaker.

One session usually lasts 15-20 minutes, depending on the area being treated.

Most patients receive 4-5 treatments per area. The exact number will depend on each individual person and the area being treated.
