Frequently asked questions
Before and after a treatment: your questions answered
Preparing, contraindications, sun, sport, make-up and how long results last: our advice around every session.
How should I prepare for a session?
In general: clean skin, no recent self-tan, and no sun exposure on the area for light-based treatments. For cryolipolysis and EMS, come well hydrated and lightly dressed. The instructions specific to your treatment are repeated in the confirmation email.
What are the contraindications to treatments?
Contraindications are reviewed at the assessment, before any session: pregnancy, damaged or recently exposed skin, certain medical treatments, a particular medical history. Our treatments are aesthetic comfort treatments — they never replace the advice of a healthcare professional.
Can I have treatments while pregnant or breastfeeding?
During pregnancy and breastfeeding, we refrain from almost all of our treatments. This is not a token precaution: we would rather postpone. Call us and we will look together at what is still possible.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends entirely on the area, your skin and your goal. For laser hair removal, allow 4 to 8 sessions on non-hormonal areas and around ten on hormonal areas. For other treatments, the number is set at the assessment, which is free — we do not sell courses of treatment at random.
How long should I leave between two sessions?
Each technology has its own rhythm: cryolipolysis sessions are spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, Infini 4 to 6 weeks, EMS sessions are closer together (1 to 2 per week), and laser follows the hair growth cycle. Your personalised schedule is set at the assessment — and can be seen in your client account.
Can I combine several treatments on the same day?
Many treatments can be combined in the same visit — HIFU and LED, teeth whitening and spray tanning, hands with a facial. Some technical procedures, however, cannot be combined on the same day. Tell us what you would like when you book: we will make the most of your visit.
Can I go about my day straight after a treatment?
Most of our treatments involve no downtime: you leave looking presentable. Technical procedures (Infini, stronger peels) leave redness for 24 to 72 hours — schedule them before a quiet weekend. We always tell you what to expect BEFORE the session.
Can I go in the sun after a treatment?
After a peel, an IPL or laser session: no direct sun exposure and strict SPF 50 protection on the area, usually for 2 to 4 weeks depending on the treatment. It is THE rule that protects your result — the exact instructions are given to you at every session.
Can I exercise after a session?
Exercise is still possible after most treatments; after cryolipolysis, wait 24 to 48 hours for the swelling in the area to go down, and after a technical procedure (Infini, peel), avoid heavy sweating for 24 hours. Each treatment has its own specific instructions, given to you at the end of the session.
Can I wear make-up after a treatment?
After a gentle treatment (AquaFacial, LED, OxyPure), you can wear makeup straight away. After a peel, nano-needling or Infini, let your skin breathe for 12 to 24 hours. Tip: book these treatments at the end of the day.
How long do the results last?
Each technology has its own duration: HIFU lasts 12 to 18 months, cryolipolysis is permanent for the cells destroyed, whitening lasts several months depending on your habits, and EMS needs maintaining, just like exercise. At every assessment, we give you a realistic duration — never vague promises.
How should I prepare for a wedding or special event?
For a wedding or an event: start 3 to 6 months ahead for the in-depth protocols (HIFU, dark spots, body shape), and keep the final week for radiance — AquaFacial, spray tanning, teeth whitening. The Evening Glow package brings together the last-minute essentials.
