Contraindications

It is extremely important to read these contraindications before getting a service.  Please be aware that spa services deeply exfoliate the skin.
  • Women may experience extra sensitivity up to a week prior to the beginning of their menses.
  • Moles, skin tags, sunburned, irritated or areas with open skin cannot be treated. We can, however, work around them.
  • You must wait a minimum of seven (7) days after any exfoliating service (light chemical peel, microdermabrasion) before waxing or sugaring.
  • Sugaring must not be performed if you have been in a tanning booth the same day.
  • Sugaring must not be performed if you have had laser skin resurfacing within the past year.
  • Sugaring must not be performed if you have had a physician administered peel within the past two (2) years. 

The following is a list of medications that may cause concern and a dermatologist should be consulted before treatment. Please have a doctor clear you for spa services if you are taking medications that thin the skin (such as Retin-A), blood thinners, or medications that cause you to be sun-sensitive. (This is not a complete list. Please talk to your doctor about any medication you are on and follow their advice.)
  • Accutane
  • Adapalene
  • Alustra
  • Avage
  • Avita
  • Differin
  • Isotretinoin
  • Renova
  • Retin A
  • Tazarac

It is important for you to understand that I cannot perform spa services if you have blood or skin disorders that would be aggravated by exfoliation or hair removal, if you are at an elevated risk for infection, or certain conditions that may cause you to be immunocompromised. If you have any questions about whether spa services are safe for you, please consult your doctor. It is your responsibility to follow medical directives and disclose potential contraindications prior to receiving your service. All clients receive services at their own risk.
