WEBVTT

00:00.031 --> 00:02.756
[SPEAKER_02]: And your spray tan prep can make or break your spray tan.

00:02.836 --> 00:07.584
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to say it's almost like 50% what you do before and what you do at home affects your results of your spray tan.

00:07.784 --> 00:13.995
[SPEAKER_01]: Deodorants will cause a reaction with your spray tan and it will turn green.

00:14.095 --> 00:16.238
[SPEAKER_01]: So you'll leave having green armpits.

00:16.258 --> 00:17.400
[SPEAKER_01]: The guy color wool.

00:17.901 --> 00:18.482
[SPEAKER_01]: Did you?

00:18.562 --> 00:19.484
[SPEAKER_01]: I did.

00:19.504 --> 00:19.564
[SPEAKER_01]: No.

00:20.405 --> 00:21.988
[SPEAKER_01]: We're not Brian people.

00:27.892 --> 00:28.453

00:39.058 --> 00:40.902
[SPEAKER_03]: And at face we haven't seen in a while.

00:41.163 --> 00:41.825
[SPEAKER_03]: A hot minute.

00:42.045 --> 00:43.388
[SPEAKER_03]: We have Mr. Eric with us.

00:43.749 --> 00:44.531

[SPEAKER_00]: License massage therapist.

00:46.505 --> 00:52.913
[SPEAKER_03]: And today, we want to talk to y'all about what we wish you knew before your appointment.

00:53.013 --> 00:54.455
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think we did one of these a long time.

00:54.475 --> 00:57.038
[SPEAKER_03]: We were like, you know what I was in here, I don't know.

00:57.058 --> 01:04.928
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, like, one of our first five episodes, well, we're going to revisit that because we still get the questions of what I do for my spray tan or they show up to their appointment.

01:04.948 --> 01:06.170
[SPEAKER_03]: Like, I didn't know what to do beforehand.

01:06.570 --> 01:08.192
[SPEAKER_03]: So we're going to, we're going to kind of,

01:08.172 --> 01:09.774
[SPEAKER_03]: Stop that confusion in the mud.

01:09.794 --> 01:10.515
[SPEAKER_03]: Hey Skimbaves!

[SPEAKER_03]: So stay confident, stay informed, and keep it unfiltered with a Skimbaves.

01:38.497 --> 01:40.360
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, so let's start with facials.

01:40.881 --> 01:43.344
[SPEAKER_03]: What do we wish our clients and knew before they came in for their facials?

01:43.925 --> 01:44.867
[SPEAKER_01]: I did it first facials.

01:44.887 --> 01:54.761
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that the big thing is, and I've kind of seen this lately with a lot of, because my clients are getting more middle aged and older, is to discontinue your retinolce and that your threat.

01:55.362 --> 02:01.872
[SPEAKER_01]: And all of those exfoliating skincare products at least three days beforehand.

02:01.852 --> 02:02.913
[SPEAKER_03]: I want to take it back.

02:02.994 --> 02:03.414
[SPEAKER_03]: Try it.

02:03.935 --> 02:04.335
[SPEAKER_03]: No.

02:04.375 --> 02:05.477
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll try it two more.

02:05.537 --> 02:06.318
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll be seven.

02:06.558 --> 02:08.200
[SPEAKER_03]: Like five to seven days a day.

02:08.341 --> 02:18.194
[SPEAKER_01]: And the reason why is because when we're dermatating, your skin is a lot more reactive and it's also more sensitive to light if we're doing laser treatments.

02:18.534 --> 02:24.282
[SPEAKER_01]: But when especially dermatating, what I find is when you're dermatating, it's like a trying to derm a plane of sponge.

02:24.262 --> 02:28.328
[SPEAKER_01]: And so because those chemicals will break down the skin.

02:28.689 --> 02:35.139
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we just want the skin to rebound a little bit before you come into your face so that we can have a better surface to work with.

02:35.199 --> 02:36.721
[SPEAKER_03]: Really, I mean, that's on what we can do.

02:36.902 --> 02:37.342
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, yeah.

02:37.583 --> 02:38.044
[SPEAKER_03]: I think try it.

02:38.064 --> 02:38.945
[SPEAKER_03]: No, it's like number one.

02:39.065 --> 02:44.093
[SPEAKER_03]: Number two for me, though, is the misconception of like washer face for you coming.

02:44.258 --> 02:45.239
[SPEAKER_03]: You do not have to go down.

02:45.259 --> 02:46.301
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna watch her face for you.

02:46.441 --> 02:50.347
[SPEAKER_03]: No matter if you come up with a clean face, you're not, I'm like, clean to her skin beforehand.

02:50.607 --> 02:50.787
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

02:50.807 --> 02:56.816
[SPEAKER_03]: So if you cannot go shower, like I don't want to, like, don't worry, don't come and say, I forgot, I couldn't get my face washed out.

02:56.836 --> 02:57.256
[SPEAKER_03]: It's okay.

02:57.737 --> 02:58.138
[SPEAKER_03]: It's fine.

02:58.498 --> 02:59.079
[SPEAKER_03]: It'll be all right.

02:59.339 --> 03:01.322
[SPEAKER_02]: We're gonna watch her regardless, so it really doesn't matter.

03:01.462 --> 03:01.963
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

03:01.943 --> 03:09.499
[SPEAKER_03]: And then before your appointment fill out your paperwork, please put any medications you are on.

03:09.519 --> 03:13.167
[SPEAKER_03]: Any daily supplements you take, I don't care if it's all natural, whatever.

03:13.307 --> 03:18.197
[SPEAKER_03]: Any daily supplements you take, any medicines you take, any prescriptions you take.

03:18.683 --> 03:20.585
[SPEAKER_03]: If you take ibuprofen every day, put that on there.

03:20.605 --> 03:21.626
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't think you're going to understand that.

03:21.646 --> 03:24.409
[SPEAKER_02]: What you're putting inside your body reflects on your skin a lot.

03:24.429 --> 03:27.032
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's very important for us to know what you're taking every day.

03:27.172 --> 03:31.177
[SPEAKER_02]: And there's some medications that Contra indicate with a lot of treatment.

03:31.377 --> 03:34.841
[SPEAKER_01]: Blood thinners, prescription medication for blood pressure.

03:35.321 --> 03:36.442
[SPEAKER_01]: That's all going to dry your skin out.

03:36.522 --> 03:38.845
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to have, it's going to cause some reactions in your skin.

03:38.885 --> 03:41.107
[SPEAKER_01]: It can even cause a little bit of psoriasis going on.

03:41.448 --> 03:45.332
[SPEAKER_01]: So let us know things that don't eat, don't think even antidepressants.

03:45.312 --> 03:50.217
[SPEAKER_01]: And the president can really be a contraindications for some of our treatment.

03:50.277 --> 03:52.280
[SPEAKER_01]: So even those things that you don't think is a big deal.

03:52.620 --> 03:55.323
[SPEAKER_01]: Invite it if you're taking vitamin A supplements, that kind of thing.

03:55.623 --> 04:01.550
[SPEAKER_01]: Please let us know because that could be the root cause of the issue that you're coming to see us about.

04:02.010 --> 04:08.477
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we'll either know to treat the symptoms or to go back and treat the cause of the problem.

04:08.858 --> 04:10.259
[SPEAKER_01]: And so that's a big help for us.

04:10.520 --> 04:12.822
[SPEAKER_03]: I think we can move on to like,

04:12.802 --> 04:15.765
[SPEAKER_03]: Bray Tans is one of the one I really want to say.

04:15.945 --> 04:17.227
[SPEAKER_02]: He's the one, yeah.

04:17.247 --> 04:21.652
[SPEAKER_03]: It is prom season, it's also on the summer season, but it's prom season.

04:21.672 --> 04:24.575
[SPEAKER_02]: If they can't, everybody's starting to get out on their spring vacation.

04:24.595 --> 04:26.637
[SPEAKER_02]: I haven't even done like four or five spray Tans.

04:26.657 --> 04:27.418
[SPEAKER_02]: And you're pretty good too.

04:27.438 --> 04:29.800
[SPEAKER_02]: And your spray Tans prep can make or break your spray.

04:29.820 --> 04:29.981
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

04:30.061 --> 04:32.283
[SPEAKER_02]: I want to say it's almost like 50% what you do before.

04:32.343 --> 04:36.868
[SPEAKER_02]: What you do at home affects your results of your spray Tans and 50% will be a real preach girl.

04:36.848 --> 04:37.871
[SPEAKER_03]: Exfoliation.

04:38.312 --> 04:41.540
[SPEAKER_03]: You exfoliate before your appointment, but don't exfoliate like the day of your appointment.

04:41.621 --> 04:45.892
[SPEAKER_03]: Like if your appointment's at night like don't exfoliate that morning and shave that morning 24 hours before.

04:46.072 --> 04:48.559
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, given it 24 hours or even like before.

04:49.100 --> 04:49.642
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes, you're here.

04:49.662 --> 04:50.263
[SPEAKER_03]: We'll not go back.

04:50.284 --> 04:51.527
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's okay.

04:51.547 --> 04:51.988
[SPEAKER_03]: Quickly.

04:51.968 --> 05:04.988
[SPEAKER_03]: If you're a waxer, if you're going to wax two days before your appointment, like give that time for otherwise your pores can be open and the spray dance can get in those, like where your follicles were and it's going to like, you're going to have dots.

05:05.068 --> 05:11.899
[SPEAKER_02]: Yep, or your freshly exfoliated skin will be a lot different than your normal skin, so you'll have little patches of where you've been waxed.

05:11.919 --> 05:12.760
[SPEAKER_02]: I've done that to myself.

05:12.820 --> 05:16.626
[SPEAKER_02]: I've waxed my underarms and then I have little white patches on my underarms.

05:16.606 --> 05:18.087
[SPEAKER_03]: And I can make it break out too.

05:18.127 --> 05:20.349
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I'm gonna feel like a reaction to it.

05:20.369 --> 05:22.351
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'll collect in your skin and it will be good.

05:22.371 --> 05:34.222
[SPEAKER_01]: And I also find that if you have dry patches like elbows, you know, exfoliate your elbows and your knees and different places where you have dry patches, that way you're getting that dead skin off, otherwise that spray tan will soak into there.

05:34.242 --> 05:38.005
[SPEAKER_01]: And then you'll have dark elbows, dark knees, dark splotches.

05:38.546 --> 05:46.613
[SPEAKER_01]: And you may even put a really lightweight, don't put a heavy moisturizer on there, but like a lightweight moisturizer.

05:46.593 --> 05:55.403
[SPEAKER_03]: And this is probably the only dream I will say please try to shower before you come though like wash all loxions all the odorants anything that has a residue on your face.

05:55.423 --> 05:55.744
[SPEAKER_02]: Even perfume.

05:55.764 --> 05:58.767
[SPEAKER_02]: Like from it doesn't feel heavy on your skin.

05:58.807 --> 05:59.708
[SPEAKER_03]: But from perfume.

05:59.728 --> 06:04.013
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, but like the oils and everything in it can affect how your spray tan develops.

06:04.073 --> 06:06.636
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I never thought of that until I actually saw it.

06:06.656 --> 06:11.702
[SPEAKER_01]: And the other thing is your deodorants will cause a reaction with your spray tan.

06:11.722 --> 06:12.583
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a aluminum.

06:12.563 --> 06:14.406
[SPEAKER_01]: And it will turn green.

06:14.466 --> 06:18.072
[SPEAKER_01]: And so you'll leave having green armpits being like, oh my gosh, what's going to happen?

06:18.192 --> 06:19.414
[SPEAKER_01]: It'll wash off and you'll be fine.

06:19.775 --> 06:21.177
[SPEAKER_01]: But it can cause some reactions.

06:21.197 --> 06:23.221
[SPEAKER_01]: And it can also block that spray tan.

06:23.281 --> 06:26.225
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have like white armpits and colored shoulders.

06:26.606 --> 06:28.950
[SPEAKER_01]: So just make sure that you kind of get that washed off.

06:28.970 --> 06:31.694
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have whitebees and different things that we use that you can use.

06:31.815 --> 06:34.199
[SPEAKER_03]: It's not as good as the shower and like washing it off.

06:34.219 --> 06:34.319
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.

06:34.339 --> 06:38.706
[SPEAKER_03]: And then last but not least with this is what to wear to your spray tan appointment.

06:38.686 --> 06:40.750
[SPEAKER_03]: loose dark clothing.

06:41.010 --> 06:41.230
[SPEAKER_03]: Yep.

06:41.511 --> 06:44.797
[SPEAKER_03]: The vegetable oil will rub off on like the guide color.

06:45.017 --> 06:45.999
[SPEAKER_03]: The vegetable oil.

06:46.319 --> 06:48.042
[SPEAKER_03]: The oil, the guide color will.

06:49.164 --> 06:49.545
[SPEAKER_01]: I did.

06:49.585 --> 06:52.109
[SPEAKER_03]: We're not frying people.

06:53.391 --> 06:53.692
[SPEAKER_03]: I did.

06:53.712 --> 06:54.393
[SPEAKER_03]: I just got that.

06:54.453 --> 06:55.154
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you, Jordan.

06:55.615 --> 07:00.203
[SPEAKER_03]: But the guide color will wipe off on your clothes and it could stain them.

07:00.544 --> 07:04.170
[SPEAKER_02]: And it could rub your spray tan off too in that area and make it look true and funny.

07:04.150 --> 07:13.866
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I've seen a lot of, especially your sister will come with leggings, and she'll put leggings on right over the top of her spray tan, and like you just wipe that whole thing off and take those leggings around.

07:14.247 --> 07:20.117
[SPEAKER_01]: And ladies, if you are wearing a prongedress or dress or summer dress that doesn't have any straps.

07:20.097 --> 07:23.403
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, leave brawls or yes, or plan to leave brawls.

07:23.483 --> 07:25.366
[SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, you will have the little straps.

07:25.406 --> 07:25.707
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.

07:25.727 --> 07:27.269
[SPEAKER_01]: So those are some some great things.

07:27.349 --> 07:29.253
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know your sister is getting called out.

07:29.333 --> 07:30.174
[SPEAKER_01]: So oh, yeah.

07:30.595 --> 07:31.416
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll hear about that.

07:31.456 --> 07:32.418
[SPEAKER_03]: Just on the worst patient.

07:32.518 --> 07:38.308
[SPEAKER_01]: And then along with the spray tin, though the most important thing with post is your development time.

07:38.288 --> 07:41.372
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have four-hour spray tan, do not go over that four hours.

07:41.392 --> 07:44.455
[SPEAKER_01]: You will over-develop and you will turn orange and you'll be calling me the next day.

07:45.116 --> 07:47.218
[SPEAKER_01]: Four-hour spray tan are for a quick four.

07:47.298 --> 07:51.663
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have a flight to catch in four hours, you can go ahead and rinse beforehand.

07:52.044 --> 07:56.148
[SPEAKER_01]: On the eight hours, you're going to be a lot easier to use just because you don't have to rinse those.

07:56.209 --> 07:57.270
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, stay away from the water.

07:57.290 --> 07:58.011
[SPEAKER_03]: No side movies.

07:58.571 --> 07:59.172
[SPEAKER_03]: No crying.

07:59.592 --> 08:00.113
[SPEAKER_03]: No rain.

08:00.473 --> 08:01.354
[SPEAKER_03]: No doing dishes.

08:01.415 --> 08:03.116
[SPEAKER_03]: This is your time to be away from the sink.

08:03.537 --> 08:05.359
[SPEAKER_03]: No water until you rinse.

08:05.339 --> 08:09.186
[SPEAKER_01]: And if you need to, well, what's to do with the note saying, Mom can't do any dishes today.

08:09.226 --> 08:11.570
[SPEAKER_02]: Don't miss a family half to do the dishes.

08:11.590 --> 08:13.674
[SPEAKER_02]: Doctors know not allowed to do dishes.

08:13.974 --> 08:18.422
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, my wife likes to come home with a spray tan and say, oh, I can't really do any dishes now.

08:18.523 --> 08:19.544
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're going to have to do them.

08:19.625 --> 08:22.349
[SPEAKER_02]: I don't cook dinner on Thursday nights because Thursday nights my spray tan night.

08:22.510 --> 08:23.892
[SPEAKER_02]: Thursday nights are also bullying nights.

08:24.052 --> 08:27.178
[SPEAKER_02]: And they're bullying nights, I'm alone.

08:27.158 --> 08:30.282
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, so next is let's do waxing real quick.

08:30.302 --> 08:33.967
[SPEAKER_03]: You can shower if you want to but you do not have to We do not care.

08:34.007 --> 08:37.311
[SPEAKER_02]: It makes no difference to me if you shower it or if you do not shower.

08:37.431 --> 08:42.558
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, we it'll be all right But the main thing is make sure your hair is long enough.

08:42.778 --> 08:52.170
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that like when it's a little stubbly like you can you can feel like you're grabbing it No, we're like make sure you can easily pinch and pull it before you come to get waxed because then I'm gonna send you home

08:52.150 --> 08:56.896
[SPEAKER_01]: And when they're sitting at your home, they're not doing it out of, you know, just being rude.

08:56.916 --> 08:59.439
[SPEAKER_01]: They're just, they're sitting at your home because you're not going to get a good wax.

08:59.459 --> 09:00.340
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to get your money.

09:00.360 --> 09:00.881
[SPEAKER_01]: It's working.

09:01.061 --> 09:01.682
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to work.

09:01.762 --> 09:02.603
[SPEAKER_01]: It's going to work.

09:02.623 --> 09:03.805
[SPEAKER_03]: It's going to work more.

09:03.825 --> 09:09.612
[SPEAKER_03]: You have a higher possibly breaking hairs, which will cause ingrown cystic ingrown, like I've seen it turn bad.

09:09.752 --> 09:16.701
[SPEAKER_01]: And Linus, but sheaps pulled a couple of ingrowns lately that have been kind of rough and ingrowns are just painful.

09:16.721 --> 09:21.988
[SPEAKER_01]: So make sure that you get your wax done at the correct length, so you don't have any of those issues.

09:21.968 --> 09:32.266
[SPEAKER_03]: And here's some really good, it's like, you can exfoliate, but don't exfoliate like the day before, like give it a couple days, because when you exfoliate you thin the skin, and so we don't want to lift.

09:32.306 --> 09:34.130
[SPEAKER_03]: We don't lift in my bathroom, okay?

09:34.190 --> 09:37.456
[SPEAKER_03]: So exfoliate a couple days before your appointment not the day before.

09:37.516 --> 09:39.319
[SPEAKER_03]: And here's a little pro tip.

09:39.299 --> 09:41.782
[SPEAKER_03]: Don't drink your coffee before your appointment.

09:42.123 --> 09:43.465
[SPEAKER_03]: Caffeem makes you more sensitive.

09:43.865 --> 09:49.453
[SPEAKER_03]: I do have quite a set of take I'd be prepping before, like four hours before, take a benedrial if you know you have a histamine reaction.

09:49.493 --> 09:53.498
[SPEAKER_02]: Well, and similar to like, it's really important that you share your medications with us.

09:53.598 --> 10:01.729
[SPEAKER_02]: For things like facials, it equally has important for things like waxing because of the way medications like antibiotics can affect your skin when you waxing.

10:01.709 --> 10:05.535
[SPEAKER_03]: you shouldn't be shaving between waxes, but that's a big one.

10:05.675 --> 10:07.077
[SPEAKER_03]: Do not shave between your waxes.

10:07.378 --> 10:08.600
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, that's a big one.

10:08.620 --> 10:25.526
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think it's important to that the one post thing that you need to do is Lena's going to tell you how to take care of this afterwards and we do have post care treatments, post care oil is to exfoliate that area because you know you've you've just waxed that little hair out so that that follicle's going to grow a new hair.

10:25.887 --> 10:28.611
[SPEAKER_01]: Well as that new

10:28.591 --> 10:31.474
[SPEAKER_01]: sealed the hair the top of the hair follicle.

10:31.855 --> 10:38.802
[SPEAKER_01]: And so just make sure to keep exfoliating and cleaning that area so that that hair can pop back out so you don't have the in-growns.

10:39.223 --> 10:47.352
[SPEAKER_01]: And so I think that's really important is get the right post care products to use on your legs armpits and all that area.

10:47.532 --> 10:47.993
[SPEAKER_03]: Anywhere.

10:48.293 --> 10:57.163
[SPEAKER_03]: Yes people like don't think of in-growns like having on your legs and but no you can get in-growns on your face and get them on your under arms you can get them on your arms your legs your stomach your back all of it.

10:57.143 --> 11:11.039
[SPEAKER_01]: And sometimes in groins like on the chin that I see, you think they're pimples, especially in some of us middle-pause ladies, you think they're pimples, but they're really not, it's an ingrown hair, because we got hair all the hair from the rest of our body migrates up to our faces.

11:11.079 --> 11:12.280
[SPEAKER_01]: We go through middle-pause.

11:12.761 --> 11:15.724
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, you know, just, you got to keep that exfoliated, too.

11:15.964 --> 11:17.566
[SPEAKER_01]: Next, let's do lasers.

11:17.706 --> 11:20.890
[SPEAKER_03]: A lasers are pretty close to the facials, honestly.

11:20.870 --> 11:25.609
[SPEAKER_03]: Stop your try to know and let us know about any medications you're taking.

11:26.252 --> 11:30.188
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't do a whole lot laser So is there anything I do a lot of lasers also if you

11:30.387 --> 11:41.365
[SPEAKER_02]: What you've been doing beforehand, if you've been seeing someone else for lasers, anything like that is really important a lot of snow not that we're going to shame you or make fun of you for seeing someone else is just really important for us to know what your skin has been through already.

11:41.485 --> 11:44.851
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, and a BBL and IPL are our similar lasers.

11:44.951 --> 11:48.137
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the way that the light shoots in and the intensity.

11:48.177 --> 11:53.205
[SPEAKER_01]: And so if you've been getting BBL lasers, we may be able to change the settings up a little bit on our IPL.

11:53.185 --> 11:59.091
[SPEAKER_01]: to, you know, kind of hit those spots that that you're missing with your BBL, or something like that.

11:59.251 --> 12:00.873
[SPEAKER_01]: And also skin tone.

12:00.913 --> 12:03.856
[SPEAKER_01]: So if we're asking you, what is your ethnicity?

12:04.176 --> 12:08.820
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you have Asian, Italian, you know, in your background?

12:08.861 --> 12:10.102
[SPEAKER_01]: It's not, we're not being purchased.

12:10.122 --> 12:14.026
[SPEAKER_01]: We just those are more of a yellow undertones in your skin.

12:14.366 --> 12:17.609
[SPEAKER_01]: And so that way we have to adjust our settings to target that.

12:17.649 --> 12:18.450
[SPEAKER_01]: Otherwise, we could

12:18.430 --> 12:24.424
[SPEAKER_01]: possibly, you know, have a different reaction than what we're looking for if we don't know what those undertones are.

12:24.644 --> 12:28.433
[SPEAKER_02]: We're not judging anything your response is simply just for us to be able to do better.

12:28.453 --> 12:30.618
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, we're trying to do that.

12:30.658 --> 12:35.950
[SPEAKER_02]: We're communicating so we can understand what you're expecting out of your results, what your background is, all of that.

12:35.930 --> 12:36.652
[SPEAKER_01]: micro-needling.

12:36.952 --> 12:42.025
[SPEAKER_01]: I think yesterday I had the girls do a micro-needling exosome facial on me.

12:42.446 --> 12:43.087
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't even tell.

12:43.147 --> 12:43.909
[SPEAKER_01]: You can't even tell.

12:43.949 --> 12:46.215
[SPEAKER_01]: I think those exosomes are amazing.

12:46.275 --> 12:49.643
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have the opportunity to do a micro-needling exosome, come in and let us know.

12:50.024 --> 12:54.394
[SPEAKER_01]: But one of those things for prep on a micro-needling treatment, Lena.

12:54.644 --> 12:56.466
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're pretty close to a facial.

12:57.366 --> 13:00.049
[SPEAKER_03]: You want to try to know enough of that thin skin.

13:00.069 --> 13:03.352
[SPEAKER_03]: You want to stop that seven to five to seven days before hand.

13:03.552 --> 13:04.673
[SPEAKER_03]: Big on the eye, be proven.

13:04.713 --> 13:08.596
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me know because if you're taking that daily because you will bleed and you will bleed more.

13:08.636 --> 13:09.197
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:09.537 --> 13:10.398
[SPEAKER_03]: Any medications?

13:10.498 --> 13:10.878
[SPEAKER_03]: All that.

13:10.898 --> 13:15.242
[SPEAKER_03]: I just need to know what, and I need to know what products you're using on your skin beforehand.

13:15.823 --> 13:18.885
[SPEAKER_02]: Because also, it'll affect what we tell you your post-care treatment.

13:18.905 --> 13:19.005
[SPEAKER_02]: Yeah.

13:19.025 --> 13:22.609
[SPEAKER_02]: You might be using something that you think is fine to use the day after micro-needling and it's not.

13:22.769 --> 13:23.149
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

13:23.129 --> 13:26.874
[SPEAKER_01]: and sometimes those products to say anti-aging, those are retinal products.

13:27.074 --> 13:31.220
[SPEAKER_03]: And so I think that we think that anti-aging moisturizer probably has retinal in.

13:31.260 --> 13:31.700
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.

13:31.720 --> 13:39.030
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you're using those let us know, and sometimes those keywords can really help us figure out what the ingredients is in those products.

13:39.450 --> 13:45.458
[SPEAKER_01]: And when we ask you what you've been using at home, you know, kind of be honest, we're not judging you if you're using DevSope.

13:45.438 --> 14:10.163
[SPEAKER_01]: We just want to make sure that maybe that dev soap or a different type of soap isn't something that's causing that reaction in your skin that you're having or causing you to have dry skin, creating that acne, so just be kind of let us know all the products that you're using at home and then we'll probably try to set you up on a different type of skincare regime when you leave the one that's going to have more target the type of skin or the issues that you're having.

14:10.143 --> 14:17.198
[SPEAKER_01]: so that you can, you can combat both that with us, but then really do that, that home care to, to correct those issues.

14:17.539 --> 14:20.385
[SPEAKER_03]: Eric, is there any pre-care for massage?

14:20.505 --> 14:21.908
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't massage.

14:22.968 --> 14:27.494
[SPEAKER_03]: I used the massage, I used it like almost falsely this has to be my massage treatment.

14:27.514 --> 14:31.400
[SPEAKER_00]: So with my massage, there's really nothing that I expect you to come in different.

14:31.560 --> 14:34.524
[SPEAKER_00]: Like you can just show up off a job site and bother me.

14:34.584 --> 14:41.774
[SPEAKER_00]: But with the capacity and Georgia doing the Swedish massage is maybe try not to smoke cigarettes before you come in.

14:42.495 --> 14:46.360
[SPEAKER_00]: And if you do smoke cigarettes, just know that that's going to come through your pores.

14:46.340 --> 14:48.725
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's not going to be a great smell.

14:48.885 --> 14:51.269
[SPEAKER_00]: You'll probably smell it, and I know we smell it.

14:51.410 --> 14:57.181
[SPEAKER_00]: Other than that, caffeine can cause blood vessels to over-stimulate.

14:57.602 --> 15:00.607
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you're doing the massage, you can actually get kind of like a high.

15:01.389 --> 15:04.014
[SPEAKER_00]: So when you stand up, you'll feel like you're drunk.

15:04.074 --> 15:05.597
[SPEAKER_01]: I would not know that either.

15:05.577 --> 15:11.508
[SPEAKER_01]: And what about like, um, if you have metal plates or like metal screws or anything in Europe?

15:11.528 --> 15:16.177
[SPEAKER_02]: So it's probably important for them to communicate anything that they've had with their experience.

15:16.197 --> 15:21.727
[SPEAKER_00]: So definitely let us know if you had any kind of surgeries, any kind of implants.

15:22.148 --> 15:28.800
[SPEAKER_00]: Some things that you definitely want to let us know is, are you on blood dinners, are you on kind of heart medication?

15:28.780 --> 15:36.462
[SPEAKER_00]: that kind of stuff because it can affect while you're getting the massage, it can affect how those medications work in your body.

15:37.049 --> 15:37.770
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not so crazy.

15:38.090 --> 15:39.793
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm in prep, not pro.

15:40.474 --> 15:45.200
[SPEAKER_03]: Pre, post, oh my gosh, I'm not talking to that.

15:45.240 --> 15:49.405
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, post massage, I know there's one drink a lot of water.

15:49.525 --> 15:51.468
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, lots of water, but not just water.

15:51.869 --> 15:54.212
[SPEAKER_00]: You also wanna have electrolytes within it.

15:54.572 --> 15:58.898
[SPEAKER_00]: You drink too much water and it will thin out the electrolytes in your body and can cause more problems.

15:59.419 --> 16:04.305
[SPEAKER_00]: So a good hydration drink like Gatorade, Parade,

16:04.285 --> 16:16.303
[SPEAKER_00]: liquid IV stuff like that, that's going to help in the long run because your muscles are going to actually need that in order to not spasm out after the massage, especially with the massage that I do.

16:16.621 --> 16:17.804
[SPEAKER_03]: All right, well, good information here.

16:18.165 --> 16:20.009
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope y'all got something out this today.

16:20.129 --> 16:21.753
[SPEAKER_03]: I think this was a really good episode.

16:21.933 --> 16:25.862
[SPEAKER_03]: These are answering a lot of questions we see in our treatment room, almost daily.

16:26.243 --> 16:31.395
[SPEAKER_03]: And then a lot of questions we see on our social media, on our videos about what to do before they come in.

16:31.896 --> 16:34.061
[SPEAKER_03]: So thank y'all for hanging out with me today.

16:34.182 --> 16:35.745
[SPEAKER_03]: Thank y'all for hanging out with us.

16:36.126 --> 16:37.229
[SPEAKER_03]: And we'll see you all next week.

16:38.151 --> 16:38.612
[SPEAKER_03]: Bye.
