The Visit-Day Guide: What to Wear, Bring and Plan
Clothing
- Loose and soft: treated zones need friction-free covering (a scarf/cardigan doubles as sun protection after facial work).
- Easy off/on: body programs (hair removal, contouring) need broad exposure — jumpsuits are the enemy.
- Dark colors: numbing and coupling gels stain.
- Glasses not contacts: for facial/periorbital sessions so shields fit (skincare and makeup).
What to Bring
- ID and membership/insurance cards (first-visit file creation).
- Medication list or photos of boxes (disclosure).
- Past records from other clinics.
- For after: wide-brim hat or umbrella (facial work), repair cream if not provided.
Time Buffers
| Program type | Reserve |
|---|---|
| Light non-invasive | 1-1.5 h (consult + rest) |
| Hair removal, single area | 30-60 min |
| Numbing required (microneedle/fractional) | 2-3 h (numbing 30-60 min + treatment + observation) |
| First consultation | 1-1.5 h (first-visit flow) |
Companions and Transport
- Anxious clients and big programs benefit from a companion; companions wait outside the treatment zone (access control).
- No driving afterward: sedation/general anesthesia (medical) and marked eyelid swelling.
- Plan routes avoiding immediate sun and strenuous activity (post-treatment lifestyle).
FAQ
Arrived in makeup?
The clinic can remove it (sometimes for a fee) or reschedule — a day-before reminder message prevents the situation entirely.
Bring the kids?
No — treatment zones and devices require child-free access control; arranging care is part of the visit-day checklist.
