Always wear protective eyewear

1. If you're on medication, make sure your medication is not affected by UV Light.

2. Shower, shave, and exfoliate.

3. Remove make up and jewelry.

1. Shave the night/day before an appointment.

2. We suggest showering 3 hours before your appointment.

3. Exfoliate beforehand (using oil-free exfoliant).

4. Wear loose-fitting clothes (including loose shoes/sandals).

5. The days leading up to your appointment try to moisturize your skin as much as possible. Then DAY OF use no lotions, oils or deodorants.

Shave right before an appointment

Apply lotions or deodorants

Wear make-up

Wear tight-fitting clothes (to the appointment).

Wear jewelry

1. Do not shower for the first 8 hours following your appointment (unless RAPID solution wax used then 4 hours max).

2. Use water only for your initial wash-off.

3. After your first shower, you can return to your normal routine (including Deodorant, work out, pants, etc.!).

4. Keep your skin moisturized to retain your tan for as long as possible.

Come with clean, bare skin — no lotion, sunscreen, or heavy makeup (they block light absorption)
Skip lotion/sunscreen that day if you're also tanning same-day — ask us how to time both
Let us know about any medications that increase light sensitivity
Most people go in a swimsuit or underwear for max skin exposure — bring a change if you'd rather not

Follow the aftercare guidance we give you at your appointment
Drink water, moisturize as normal
Consistency is the real driver here — most people notice a difference after a handful of regular sessions, not one visit
