Post Care

  •  Showers can be taken, but please try to avoid hot water and direct shower spray to the treatment area for 48-72 hours following treatment. Avoid all saunas and hot tubs.
  •  Avoid strenuous exercise for 48 hours (this includes hot yoga).
  • Avoid any aleve or ibuprofen up to 72 hours post procedure
  • It is normal for the treated area to feel tight and dry, avoid scratching or rubbing the treated areas

It is important to keep in mind that the best results may take some time to see. While you may experience some initial results shortly after treatment, the best results will develop over time as your body responds to the stimulation for new collagen production and rejuvenated tissues. Results will ultimately vary for each person and the concerns addressed
