Post Treatment Care
continued care at home following treatment is the key to ensuring the best results
CoolSculpting
It's essential to follow the specific guidelines provided by your CoolSculpting provider, as individual circumstances and recommendations may vary. If you have any concerns or questions during your recovery, don't hesitate to reach out to your healthcare professional for guidance.

Immediate Post-Treatment Care: After CoolSculpting, you may experience some redness, swelling, bruising, or numbness in the treated area. These are normal and usually temporary.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush out the frozen fat cells from your system. Adequate hydration supports the body's natural fat cell elimination process.
Avoid Intense Physical Activity: While you can generally resume your normal activities immediately after CoolSculpting, it's advisable to avoid vigorous exercise or strenuous activities for a day or two to minimize swelling and discomfort.
Over-the-Counter Pain Medication: If you experience any discomfort or pain, your healthcare provider may recommend over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen. Avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, as they can increase the risk of bruising.
Wear Loose and Comfortable Clothing: Opt for loose and comfortable clothing in the treated area to minimize irritation and allow for proper healing.
Follow-up Appointments: Attend any scheduled follow-up appointments with your healthcare provider to assess your progress and address any concerns you may have. At your Wellness Consultation, you and your provider will create a Treat-to-Complete plan to help you achieve your desired results.
Monitor for Side Effects: Keep an eye on the treated area for any unusual or persistent side effects. Contact your provider if you notice excessive pain, prolonged swelling, or any other concerning symptoms.
BBL & MOXI Laser
Always consult with your provider for personalized post-treatment care instructions tailored to your skin and lifestyle. If you experience severe or prolonged side effects, contact your provider promptly.

Gentle Cleansing: Cleanse your skin gently with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser. Avoid products with harsh chemicals or exfoliants. Our providers recommend the Sensitive Skin Cleanser from SkinMedica.
Moisturize: Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to alleviate any dryness or peeling. We recommend the HA5 Rejuvenating Hydrator from SkinMedica.
Avoid Makeup and Skincare Products: Steer clear of makeup and skincare products that may irritate your skin. Follow your provider's recommendations for post-treatment products.
Cool Compresses: If you experience any redness or swelling, you can use cool compresses to soothe the treated area.
Avoid Hot Baths and Showers: Skip hot baths, hot tubs, and long, hot showers for a few days to prevent additional irritation.
Laser Hair Removal
Results from laser hair removal are not immediate. It may take several sessions to achieve the desired outcome, and you may notice a gradual reduction in hair growth over time. Create your tailored treat-to-complete package with your provider at your Wellness Consultation before treatment.
If you experience persistent redness, swelling, or any other concerning side effects, contact your provider. Following these post-treatment care steps will help optimize the effectiveness of laser hair removal and promote a smooth recovery process.

Avoid Waxing and Plucking: Do not wax or pluck the treated hairs between sessions. The laser targets hair follicles, and these need to be intact for the procedure to be effective. Shaving is recommended and encouraged before your follow up appointments. If you have any concerns regarding when to shave, reach out to your provider.

Avoid Rubbing or Massaging the Treated Area: Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours after treatment. This helps prevent the Botox from spreading to unintended areas.
Remain Upright for Several Hours: Stay upright and avoid lying down for at least four hours after the treatment. This minimizes the risk of Botox migrating to areas it shouldn't.
Avoid Strenuous Exercise: Refrain from engaging in strenuous exercise or activities for the rest of the day following Botox treatment. This helps prevent increased blood flow to the injected areas, which could potentially disperse the Botox.
Avoid Alcohol: Limit alcohol consumption for the first 24 hours after receiving Botox. Alcohol can increase the risk of bruising at the injection site.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush the Botox through your system. Proper hydration supports the natural elimination process.
Juvéderm Filler

These post treatment instructions may vary depending on the amount of filler that is injected, the area of treatment, and the Juvéderm formula used.

Avoid Alcohol and Blood Thinners: Limit alcohol consumption for the first 24 hours after treatment, as it can contribute to swelling. Additionally, avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements unless approved by your provider.
Apply Ice Packs: Your provider may recommend applying ice packs to the treated area to reduce swelling and discomfort. Use a clean cloth to protect your skin and apply the ice in short intervals.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help flush the Botox through your system. Proper hydration supports the natural elimination process.
