- DO NOT use razors or depilatory creams between treatments as this will affect your ability to refine and diminish your hair growth and have smooth, healthy skin.

- If you are prone to hives/histamine release reaction following hair removal, antihistamines can be taken before treatment.

- If you are doing facial sugaring, discontinue the use of retinol products one week before your desired appointment date. You can restart the use of the product two days after sugaring.

- If you are doing chemical peels, microdermabrasion, laser or any abrasive skin treatment to the areas you desire to sugar, please schedule your sugaring appointment two weeks before or after you have done the latter services.

Ingrown hairs are caused by many factors. However, the main causes are dry skin and the build-up of dead skin cells that clog the opening of the hair follicle preventing the hairs from pushing through resulting in itching and bumps. To combat this, follow the recommended post-treatment guidelines. These recommendations on the Full Circle of Skin Conditioning will be further discussed at your appointment.

This is completely normal after sugaring due to excessive blood flow to the treated areas.
