Common questions
Do I need a patch test?
Yes, always, at least 48 hours before your first session. We cannot treat you without one — this is a safety requirement, not a formality.
Can I have it if I'm tanned?
No. Recently tanned skin significantly raises the risk of burns and pigmentation. We need at least four weeks with no sun or self-tan.
