Before Your Chic la Vie Treatment: How to Prepare

Preparation is key to a smooth and comfortable treatment. The more you know ahead of time, the better your results will be.

1. Schedule a Personalized Consultation

Every Chic la Vie journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with our expert medical providers. During this visit, we’ll:

• Review your health history and aesthetic goals
  
• Customize a treatment plan tailored to your needs
  
• Discuss expected results, downtime, aftercare & prep
  

This personalized approach ensures your treatment is not only effective but safe and aligned with your beauty goals.

Why is consultation important before a med spa treatment?
Because every client’s skin, body, and goals are unique. A consultation ensures proper evaluation, personalized planning, and the safest, most effective results.

2. Avoid Certain Medications and Supplements

In the days before your treatment, here is what you need to prep for and best to avoid the following:

• Blood thinners like aspirin or ibuprofen
  
• Vitamin E, fish oil, or herbal supplements that increase bruising
  
• Alcohol for at least 24 hours before your appointment
  

These precautions help minimize swelling and bruising, especially for injectable treatments like dermal fillers or neurotoxins.

3. Keep Skin Clean and Hydrated

Healthy, hydrated skin always responds better to treatments.

• Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your visit
  
• Avoid harsh exfoliants or retinol 2–3 days prior
  
• Remove all makeup before your appointment
  

For laser and microneedling sessions, prep and arrive with clean skin. No lotions, self-tanner, or perfume.

Pro Tip: Applying sunscreen daily leading up to your treatment helps protect your skin barrier and ensures more even-toned results afterward.

4. Plan Around Your Schedule

While many non-surgical treatments at Chic la Vie have little to no downtime, some may cause mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity.
To plan effectively:

• Schedule major events at least a few days post-treatment
  
• Avoid heavy workouts or saunas for 24–48 hours after most procedures
  
• Plan follow-ups or combination treatments (like HydraFacial + Botox) with guidance from your provider
  

During Your Chic la Vie Treatment: What to Expect

Chic la Vie is known for providing luxurious, comfortable, and medically precise care. Whether you’re relaxing during a hydrafacial or having a rejuvenating laser session, your comfort is always our top priority.

1. Warm Welcome and Preparation

Upon arrival, our front desk team will greet you with warmth and professionalism. You’ll check in, fill out any remaining paperwork, and be guided to your treatment room to prep for your treatment. Each one is designed for serenity and privacy.

Our staff will explain every step of the process, so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.

2. The Treatment Process

Each treatment is administered by our licensed medical aestheticians, registered nurses, or injectors, under the supervision of Dr. Lane F. Smith, a board-certified plastic surgeon.

Depending on your procedure:

• Injectables (Botox, dermal fillers) take 15–45 minutes with minimal discomfort.
  
• Laser or microneedling treatments may include topical numbing for comfort.
  
• HydraFacials and chemical peels are relaxing, gentle, and leave skin instantly refreshed.
  

Throughout your session, our providers continuously monitor your comfort and safety, ensuring the results look natural and refined.

3. A Personalized Experience

At Chic la Vie, we believe beauty is deeply personal. Every patient’s treatment is fully customized and no “one-size-fits-all” protocols. Our specialists adjust techniques and formulations to your unique skin type, facial structure, and goals, ensuring your final result enhances but not alters your natural features.

After Your Chic la Vie Treatment: Recovery & Care Tips

Your post-treatment routine plays a crucial role in maintaining your results and protecting your skin.

1. Follow Specific Aftercare Instructions

Each service has its own aftercare guidelines:

• Injectables: Avoid rubbing the area, strenuous activity, or alcohol for 24 hours.
  
• Laser Treatments: Stay out of direct sunlight and use gentle cleansers.
  
• Microneedling: Avoid makeup for 24 hours and use hydrating serums.
  
• HydraFacial: No need to wait, apply SPF and enjoy your instant glow.
  

Always follow the personalized plan your provider gives you to maximize longevity and results.

2. Protect Your Skin with SPF

After any facial or laser treatment, your skin becomes more photosensitive. Applying broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily helps prevent hyperpigmentation and premature aging.

Combine SPF with medical-grade skincare recommended by your Chic la Vie provider to prolong your radiant results.

3. Schedule Maintenance Treatments

Consistency is the secret to lasting results.
Your aesthetic specialist may recommend:

• Botox: Every 3–4 months
  
• Fillers: Every 9–18 months depending on product
  
• Facials and Peels: Monthly or seasonally
  
• Laser & Microneedling: Every 3–6 months
  

Regular visits allow our team to adjust your treatment plan as your skin evolves.

4. Listen to Your Body

Mild redness, swelling, or tenderness can be normal post-treatment. However, if you experience unusual discomfort, contact Chic la Vie Medical Spa immediately. Our team is always available to ensure your comfort and peace of mind.
