- For facial waxing, no make up over the area for 24 hours

What to expect from all Cryopen treatments? 

- The histamine in the area treated will create an itchy sensation for about ten minutes, do not worry as this is normal 

- The area treated will look inflamed and can also be red/darker 

- Blistering can happen with any cryotherapy treatment and is indiscriminate. The blister may last anything from a few hours to a few days depending on the area. Remember that a blister is the natural response to protect the treated area and will disappear once the crust begins to form on the surface of the skin. 

If a blister does appear: 

- Leave it alone, don’t pop it, it will go down on its own 

- If it pops, weeping may occur so you can use a non-alcoholic baby wipe to remove any debris from the area affected should the blister burst. An adhesive dressing such as a plaster can be used to cover the area. You can also use Savlon or Germolene to prevent any infection 

General healing expectations: 

- If the small crust has not fallen off after four weeks, please wait until it has done before contacting the clinic. Skin sometimes takes longer to regenerate. 

- If the skin being treated is tanned, please remember it will remove the tan and repigment to the original skin colour. 

- Any treatments that do not heal after six weeks should be reviewed by your doctor or dermatologist. 

- If your immune system is in any way compromised, this may affect healing or possibly mean that the area treated may need further treatment. 

How to look after your treated area: 

- Please use sunblock (minimum factor 50) on any pigmentation removal until it has repigmented, this may take up to eight weeks. Do not pick the area. 

- You can continue to use make up, deodorants or perfumes on treated areas, but try and leave for as long as you can on the day of the treatment.

- No heat treatments (sunbeds, saunas, sunbathing, hot baths/showers) for 24 hours before or after 

- No make up on the treated area for 24 hours after the treatment 

- No products on the area except for aloe vera gel for 24 hours after treatment. Continue this for longer if necessary 

- No swimming for 24 hours after 

- No excessive exercise for 12 hours after treatment 

- No bleaching for at least 3 days before and after treatment 

 - If there is a prolonged reaction to the skin, please let us know

- When doing household cleaning and gardening or using harsh chemical products, you must wear gloves to protect the shellac, otherwise it can lift or chip 

- When on holiday, be careful when using sun creams/oils and swimming in chlorine water make sure to rinse hands after these to avoid shellac lifting or discolouring 

- Do not pick them off, incorrect removal of the shellac can damage the surface of your nails, so we recommend coming into the salon for a professional removal

- Avoid wearing make-up for at least 24 hours after a facial treatment. 

- Do not undertake any other face treatments within 48 hours of having a facial. 

- Avoid sunbathing for up to 24 hours. 

- Avoid direct heat, such as saunas, hot baths, showers. 

- Do not apply any other exfoliating skincare products for 72 hours after having a facial.

- Be gentle with your lashes; no rubbing. 

- Do not get your lashes wet for the first 24 hrs. 

- Avoid Sauna/Steam rooms for 24hrs as may weaken the effect of the lift. 

- No eye make-up for 24 hours. 

- Swimming should be avoided for at least 24hrs

- Drink plenty of water to help flush all the toxins out your system 

- Try not to do anything too strenuous for the rest of the day, and ideally go home and now relax and let the oils sink into your skin

- Leave tan on for 8 hours before washing off. If you are sleeping in it overnight, do not worry after the 8 hours as it has stopped developing by then anyway

- Until the 8 hours are up, do not get your tan wet in anyway, including being careful with drinking

- Do not do anything strenuous after where you will be perspiring

- When you have showered, make sure you pat yourself dry and do not rub too harsh with a towel

- To keep your tan lasting longer, make sure you are moisturising daily and taking showers rather than soaks in a bath

- Avoid swimming if possible as it strips the tan quicker

- When your ready to remove the tan, have a long soak in the bath and then exfoliate everywhere to buff off tan

- If booking in as a bride/bridesmaid, we recommend having a trial tan before the actual wedding day
