Advice For Aesthetic Treatments
As you approach your appointment at Sorella, these steps will guarantee a smooth and hassle-free experience.
At our aesthetic skin clinic in Kent, the hydrafacial is one of our favourite treatments.
The Run Up To Your Appointment
-
Avoid Blood Thinning Substances - In the week leading up to your appointment, steer clear of substances like aspirin, ibuprofen and anything else that can thin the blood.
​
-
Stay Hydrated - Hydration is the foundation of healthy skin. Ensure you are well-hydrated in the days leading up to your treatment.
​
-
Stop Taking Herbal Supplements - Avoid herbal supplements such as garlic, vitamin E, ginko biloba, St. John’s Wort and omega-3 capsules.
​
-
Prepare For Bruising - Bruising is normal following an aesthetic procedure. However, you can minimise its extent by taking arnica tablets 48 hours prior to your appointment.
The Day Of Your Appointment
-
Arrive Relaxed - We want your experience to be both enjoyable and stress-free. Arrive a few minutes early so that you can settle in and embrace your upcoming rejuvenation.

Arrive Makeup Free - Come to your appointment with a clean face, free of make up. This ensures that Danni and Georgi have a clear canvas to work with.​
Advice For Skincare Treatments
Before you give your skin the care it deserves, here are some guidelines you should follow.
The Run Up To Your Appointment

Stop Topical Retinoids - Up to 48 hours before your skincare treatment, it’s important to halt the use of retinol. Similarly, you should stick to a gentle skincare routine to keep your skin in optimal condition.

Sun Protection - Prevent sun damage by applying adequate suncream. This will help your skin maintain its health for the transformative journey ahead.
