The American Med Spa Association defines a medical spa (also known as a med spa or medi-spa) as having four core elements: (1) performs non-invasive/non-surgical aesthetic medical services (i.e., light and laser treatments, Injectables such as Botox, Juvederm, chemical peels, acne treatments ); (2) is under the general supervision of a licensed physician; (3) medical services are performed by trained, experienced and qualified practitioners; and (4) have onsite supervision by a licensed healthcare professional. Skin365 meets all of these criteria and is registered with the Medical Board of California, Board of Registered Nursing, and the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology.

It is best to have injections done at least two weeks before an event in case of bruising or swelling. Ten days before your treatment it is recommended to quit taking any blood thinners such as: Vitamin E, turmeric, fish oil, omegas, garlic, aspirin, ibuprofen, Aleve, Midol, Advil, naproxen, and some prescriptions. Do not quit taking prescription medications without consulting your doctor first. It is also recommended to avoid alcoholic beverages 72 hours before your procedure and 24 hours after your procedure, to minimize any bruising and swelling. Taking arnica and bromelain 48 hours before your procedure is also recommended to further decrease bruising and swelling.

As each individual treatment is unique, each procedure has a different effective period. Some treatments are effective immediately, while others may take time for you to see the results. The effects will be explained during the consultation.

We recommend waiting at least 24 hours after your treatment to do any form of exercise.

We recommend waiting at least 2 weeks after a filler treatment and at least 24 hours after a Botox/Dysport treatment before getting a massage.
