IPL

Before Your Appointment

When to Book

  • Schedule your IPL appointment at least two weeks before any major events to allow time for redness, swelling, or darkened spots to resolve. For body treatments, plan at least 8 weeks ahead.
  • Let your provider know if you’ve had any recent facial surgeries, cosmetic treatments, or medical conditions that may affect the treated areas.

  • Let your provider know if you are taking oral antibiotics or any medication that increases sensitivity to light, as we may need to reschedule.

4 Weeks Before

  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds on the treatment area, and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily.
  • Stop all sunless tanners and self-tanning products.
  • For hair removal: no waxing, plucking, epilators, or depilatory creams (such as Nair). IPL targets the hair at the root, so the root needs to be present.

7 Days Before

  • Pause retinol, retinoids, and exfoliating actives such as glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids. NOTE: Always check with your doctor before stopping any prescribed medications.

Day Before

  • For hair removal: shave the treatment area the day before your appointment.

Day Of

  • Arrive with clean skin – no makeup, lotion, sunscreen, or deodorant on the treatment area.
  • Tie your hair back and skip large jewelry near the treated areas.

After Your Appointment

What to Expect

  • Skin may look red or mildly swollen with a sunburn-like sensation. This is a normal reaction and can last from a few hours to a few days.
  • Freckles and sunspots may turn darker at first (they often look like coffee grounds), then gradually flake off within 7-10 days on the face and 14-30 days on the body. This is a normal and expected part of the process – please don’t pick or scratch at them.
  • If treated for redness or visible vessels, you may notice some redness and slight swelling around the treated areas. Over time, vessels may appear lighter and less defined.
  • Results build gradually over a series of treatments. Your provider will recommend a schedule based on your goals – typically about 4 weeks apart for pigment and about 2 weeks apart for rosacea or acne.

First 24 Hours

  • Use a cool compress on and off during the first 24 hours to help ease swelling. NOTE: Never apply ice directly to the skin – always use it through a cloth. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone can help with itching, and aloe vera may feel soothing. Tylenol or Advil may be used if the area is uncomfortable.
  • Be gentle with the treated area. Don’t scratch, pick, rub, or scrub.
  • Hold off on makeup for the first 24 hours.
  • Keep the treated area moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer.

First 48 Hours

  • Avoid anything that causes flushing or heavy sweating, including intense exercise, saunas, hot tubs, hot showers, alcohol, and spicy foods.

Until Darkened Spots Have Fully Flaked Off

  • Avoid scented lotions or soaps, exfoliants (retinol/Retin-A, glycolic, salicylic, and alpha-hydroxy acids), acne creams or gels, loofahs, and aggressive scrubbing.
  • Avoid very hot water on the treated area.
  • Avoid shaving the treated area.
  • Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas with chlorine or other chemicals.

First 2 Weeks

  • Strictly avoid direct sun exposure to the treated area, and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day.
  • Postpone any other treatments on the same area (facials & exfoliants, chemical peels, microneedling, or other light & energy treatments).

Between Treatments

  • Continue to avoid sun exposure and sunless tanners on the treated area throughout your series, and keep wearing SPF daily.
  • For hair removal: it’s fine to shave between treatments, but no waxing, plucking, epilators, or depilatory creams.

Your Skincare Plan

  • Hold off on makeup for the first 24 hours following your treatment.
  • Use a gentle cleanser and a fragrance-free moisturizer, and keep the treated area moisturized while it heals.
  • You can ease back into retinol and exfoliating actives once any flaking has fully resolved (typically 7-10 days on the face), or as directed by your provider.
  • Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ is the most important step for protecting your results between and after treatments.

Questions or concerns?

Your safety and comfort are our highest priority. If you notice a blister, broken skin, crusting that isn’t improving, increasing pain, or anything that feels out of the ordinary, please contact your nearest Nuey studio immediately so we can help.

We’re always here for you – text or call us anytime for a little extra peace of mind.

ResurFX

Before Your Appointment

When to Book

  • Schedule your ResurFX appointment at least two weeks before any major events to allow time for redness, swelling, and rough texture to resolve.
  • Let your provider know if you’ve had any recent facial surgeries, cosmetic treatments, or medical conditions that may affect the treated areas.

  • Stop all sunless tanners and self-tanning products.

7 Days Before

  • Pause retinol, retinoids, and exfoliating actives such as glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acids. NOTE: Always check with your doctor before stopping any prescribed medications.
  • Please let us know if you are currently taking, or have recently taken, oral antibiotics, isotretinoin (Accutane), or any medication that increases sensitivity to light. We may ask you to reschedule.

Day Of

  • Arrive with clean skin – no makeup, lotion, or sunscreen on the treatment area.
  • Tie your hair back and skip large jewelry near the treated areas.

After Your Appointment

What to Expect

  • Skin may look red or swollen with a sunburn-like sensation. This is a normal reaction and can last from a few hours to a few days. If the area around the eyes was treated, you may notice some puffiness the next morning.
  • As your skin heals, the treated area may feel rough or sandpaper-like, and small light-colored microdots may appear. Both are a normal part of the healing process and should be left to fade on their own – please don’t pick, scratch, or exfoliate them away.
  • Results build gradually as your skin renews over the following weeks. Your provider will recommend a series based on your goals – usually 3-5 treatments, about 4-5 weeks apart.
  • Over-the-counter hydrocortisone can help with itching, and Tylenol or Advil may be used if the area is uncomfortable.

First 24 Hours

  • Be gentle with the treated area. Don’t scratch, pick, rub, or scrub.
  • Use a cool compress on and off to help ease swelling. NOTE: Never apply ice directly to the skin – always use it through a cloth.
  • Keep the treated area clean and free of products unless directed by your provider.

First 48 Hours

  • Hold off on makeup until any redness and swelling have resolved, usually by 48 hours.
  • Stay out of the sun entirely. Sun exposure in the first 72 hours can cause delayed blistering.

Until Rough Texture Has Fully Resolved

  • Avoid scented lotions or soaps, exfoliants (retinol/Retin-A, glycolic, salicylic, and alpha-hydroxy acids), acne creams or gels, loofahs, and aggressive scrubbing.
  • Wash with tepid water only – avoid very hot or very cold water on the treated area.
  • Avoid shaving the treated area.
  • Avoid swimming pools, hot tubs, and spas with chlorine or other chemicals.
  • Avoid anything that causes flushing or heavy sweating, including intense exercise, hot yoga, saunas, hot tubs, hot showers, alcohol, and spicy foods.

First 4 Weeks

  • Strictly avoid direct sun exposure to the treated area. Freshly treated skin is more prone to sunburn and pigment changes, and tanning during this time may lead to hyperpigmentation.
  • Wear a mineral sunscreen (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) with a minimum SPF 30, reapplied every 2 hours when outdoors, along with a wide-brimmed hat.
  • Postpone any other treatments on the same area (facials & exfoliants, chemical peels, microneedling, or other light & energy treatments).

Your Skincare Plan

  • Wash with a gentle cleanser and tepid water only. Hold off on moisturizers and other products until the rough texture has fully resolved, or as directed by your provider.
  • If your skin is prone to hyperpigmentation, your provider may recommend a brightening (melanin-inhibiting) product starting on day 6 to help support even tone as you heal.
  • You can ease back into retinol and exfoliating actives once the rough texture has fully resolved, or as directed by your provider.
  • Daily mineral SPF 30+ is the most important step for protecting your results between and after treatments.
