Pre-treatment Advice

We want you to have a relaxing and comfortable experience every time you visit us. We carefully research and test each treatment we offer to give you the best possible results. Which is why our Pre-treatment advice is so important. 

Before any treatment it’s important to know of any requirements or exclusions that may affect the treatment and results you can expect. Below you’ll find some information on what to know before booking.

If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with our team.
