What to expect

Before & after

Before you come

Arrive makeup-free if you can (we'll cleanse either way)
Pause retinol and exfoliating acids 2–3 days before
Don't wax or thread the face on the same day — book threading after, not before
Bring a list of what you use at home; it shapes the homecare advice

Aftercare

Leave skin bare of makeup for the rest of the day if you can
Skip retinol, acids and scrubs for 48 hours
SPF every morning — newly exfoliated skin burns faster
No sauna, steam or hot yoga for 24 hours
