Proper preparation sets the stage for a successful treatment and a stress-free healing journey. Here’s how to get ready:

1. Schedule Smartly

📅 Pick the Right Time – Allow at least 7–10 days of downtime (or longer for deeper treatments). Avoid scheduling close to social events, holidays, or important meetings.

2. Stock Up on Essentials

🧴 Get the Goods – Purchase our Laser Skincare Package for best results.
🧊 Cool Compresses – Have soft, cold towels or gel packs ready to reduce post-treatment heat and discomfort.
🛏️ Extra Pillows – Elevate your head during recovery to minimise swelling.

3. Protect from the Sun

☀️ Limit UV Exposure – Sun exposure can increase redness and slow healing.
🧢 Cover Up – Have a wide-brimmed hat, long sleeves, and sunglasses ready.
💧 MenoSun Aftercare – We’ll provide this essential UV-protective product for use post-treatment.

4. Adjust Your Diet & Lifestyle

🥗 Eat to Heal – Focus on anti-inflammatory foods like leafy greens, berries, turmeric, and omega-3s.
🛒 Plan Ahead – Prep meals or arrange grocery/food delivery to reduce errands.
🚫 Avoid These – No alcohol, smoking, or excess caffeine for at least 1 week prior, as they can delay your healing.

5. Minimise Social Interaction

👋 Tell Your People – Let friends, family, and work contacts know you’ll be offline for a bit.
💻 Work From Home – If possible, arrange remote work or take time off to feel more comfortable during visible healing phases.

6. Create a Recovery Sanctuary

🛋️ Get Cozy – Set up a quiet space with extra pillows, blankets, entertainment (TV, books, podcasts) and soothing music.
🔥 Avoid Heat Sources – Stay away from fireplaces, saunas, or hot environments, which can worsen inflammation.

🌿 By preparing well, you’ll give your skin the best chance to heal beautifully. We’re here to support you every step of the way.
