Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
No excessive alcohol on the day of the treatment.

Your practitioner will advise when further treatment appointments are required. If you are advised to attend a follow-up appointment, please make every effort to attend them. You should do this even if you believe that the recovery process is going well, and you cannot see that there are any visible complications.
