Hydrofacial Precare, Aftercare & Consent
Precare, Aftercare & Consent
The Hydrofacial provides hydration, oxygenation, anti-ageing, brightening, skin tightening and improves congestion, resulting in a glowing, brighter, more youthful-looking skin.
During treatment, you will experience varying sensations depending on the technologies that are used. However, the overall feeling is very relaxing, cooling and completely pain-free. The skin lifting technology may trigger slight twitching due to muscle contractions caused by the treatment, but this is normal and does not cause any discomfort.
Multiple treatments are required in order to obtain optimal results spaced 2-6 weeks apart. Due to variables such as age, condition of your skin, sun damage, smoking, skin care products, climate, life-style, and general health, you acknowledge that there are no guarantees, warranties or assurances that you will be satisfied with your results.
Dermalux LED Therapy is a popular non invasive skin treatment for acne, sun damage, wounds, and other skin problems.
The treatment uses varying wavelengths of light to trigger the skin’s natural healing processes to repair the skin. Several treatments are necessary to see results.
LED is safe, non-thermal, nontoxic and non-invasive, and to date no side effects have been reported in published literature. In the 20 years that LED has been used in the medical and beauty industry, there have been no reported incidents of adverse reactions or damage caused by LED therapy.
