Before Your Service & Aftercare
Prior to the appointment, there are several things to do before the appointment in order to maximize the results. Below are things you need to review and follow before your appointment and why you should follow these.
Avoid
Avoid Botox in the treatment area for 4 weeks prior to the appointment. Botox takes about 2-4 weeks to settle, therefore, the Ombre appointment should be scheduled at least 4 weeks after. Failure to so so may result in asymmetry once Botox has fully settled.
Avoid
Avoid facials 2 weeks prior to treatment and 2 weeks after the appointment. This includes harsh/strong facials such as microderm-abrasion, chemical peels, laser, facials, etc. Strong facials will cause the skin to be sensitive prior to the appointment. Mild at-home facials such as sheet masks and milk clay masks are okay.
