How To Prep For Your Appointment
At Animated Aesthetics Studio, I want you to have the best possible experience and results from your skincare treatments. Whether you’re coming in for an Animated Customized Facial, a Brazilian Wax, or ProCell Microchanneling, proper preparation is key. Here’s a detailed guide on how to get ready for your appointment:
1. Preparing for Your Animated Customized Facial
Cleanse Your Skin:
Before your facial, it’s important to arrive with a clean face, free of makeup. This helps cleanse away debris, oils, and products from the night before, ensuring that the products used during the facial can penetrate effectively.
Avoid Exfoliation:
Do not exfoliate your skin the day before your appointment. Over-exfoliation can make your skin sensitive, and I want to avoid any potential irritation during your facial.
Wear SPF:
Always wear sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. This is crucial both before and after your facial to maintain healthy skin and prevent damage.
Hydrate:
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your facial. Hydrated skin responds better to treatments and helps you achieve a radiant glow.
Avoid Sun Exposure:
Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure before your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin can be more sensitive and may not react well to certain facial treatments. The best time to get a facial is a week after your last application of spray tan when your glow has begun to naturally lighten anyway.
2. Preparing for Your Brazilian Wax
Exfoliate Gently:
A day before your appointment, gently exfoliate the area to remove dead skin cells. This helps prevent ingrown hairs and ensures a smoother waxing process. Use a mild exfoliant or a gentle scrub. I like to use Zandiland’s Deck Scrub.
Moisturize:
Keep your skin hydrated by moisturizing regularly. However, avoid applying lotion or oil on the day of your wax as it can interfere with the wax’s ability to grip the hair.
Avoid Sun Exposure:
Similar to facial preparation, avoid sun exposure before and after your waxing appointment. Sunburned skin is more sensitive and can be painful to wax. Additionally, after waxing, your skin is more vulnerable to UV rays, which can cause hyperpigmentation.
Wear Loose Clothing:
On the day of your appointment, wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid irritation post-wax. Tight clothing can cause friction and discomfort on freshly waxed skin.
3. Preparing for ProCell Microchanneling
Avoid Skincare Actives:
Discontinue the use of retinoids, acids, and other active skincare ingredients 3 days before your microchanneling session. These ingredients can increase skin sensitivity and may cause irritation during the treatment.
Clean Skin:
Arrive with a clean face, free of makeup and other products. This ensures that the microchanneling device can effectively create channels in your skin, allowing for better absorption of the serums used during the treatment.
Wear SPF:
After your microchanneling session, it is essential to wear sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage. Your skin will be more sensitive after the treatment, and SPF will help prevent any adverse effects.
Hydrate:
Hydrated skin is crucial for any skincare treatment. Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment to ensure your skin is well-hydrated and ready to receive the microchanneling treatment.
Sun Protection:
Avoid sun exposure before your appointment, and make sure to wear sunscreen daily. Sunburned skin cannot be treated with microchanneling, and I want to ensure your skin is in its best condition for optimal results.
