Thermage FLX - Pre Treatment Care

PRIOR TO YOUR THERMAGE TREATMENT:

  1. Cease using any skincare products for 2-3 days that contain strong active ingredients such as Vitamin A, AHA’s (Glycolic and/or Lactic Acid) and BHA’s (Salicylic Acid). If you are uncertain if your skincare contains any of the above ingredients let us know and we can assist in informing you.

  2. On the day of your appointment please wear comfortable clothing with minimal jewellery and metallic objects on your person.

  3. A make-up free face is also preferred to insure a smooth running treatment.
