Proper skincare doesn’t begin and end at your appointment for cellulite laser treatment in Oakland County, MI. We help you achieve the best results by combining advanced technology, client-centered care, and an effective at-home skincare routine.
At Skin Boutique, we value transparency and realistic expectations. While our team works to deliver safe and effective treatment for every guest, how you support your skin outside our boutique is the key to unlocking your best results.
Why Choose Exilis for Cellulite Reduction?
While Exilis isn’t a laser treatment, it combines radiofrequency (RF) energy with ultrasound technology to improve the appearance of cellulite. We prefer this single body contouring device because it simultaneously targets the common causes of cellulite.
Before we can treat these causes, we want to make sure you come to your appointment prepared.
Pre-Treatment Care
Hydration is the name of the game when preparing for your Exilis appointment.
- Drink at least 2 liters (8 to 10 glasses of water) daily starting 2 days before your treatment. On the day of your appointment, drink a total of 3 liters of water and avoid caffeine and alcohol, which can dehydrate the skin.
- Arrive with skin clear of makeup, sunscreen, and lotions. Thick moisturizers, lotions, or oils create a barrier around your skin that prevents optimal skin rejuvenation.
- Avoid products with metallic particles and remove any metallic jewelry near the treatment area. These are unintentional heat conductors that increase the risk of discomfort and skin irritation.
Along with pre-care instructions, we also provide post-care guidelines so you can experience your results longer.
Post-Treatment Guidelines
After your appointment, your body begins flushing out treated fat cells while stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. Protecting your skin during this process can maximize the outcome.
- Lightly exercise within 1-12 hours after your appointment. Gentle movement supports lymphatic drainage.
- Avoid extensive sun exposure or tanning for at least 24 to 48 hours. UV radiation can “overwhelm” the skin and hinder the healing process.
- Stay hydrated. Your body’s lymphatic system uses water to naturally eliminate damaged fat. For this reason, avoid alcohol or caffeine, which can dehydrate the skin and overwork your liver.
