- Wash your scalp gently using lukewarm water and mild shampoo (free of alcohol or strong chemicals). Avoid scrubbing or using exfoliating products.

AFtercare Breakdown - non-invasive Body Sculpting
Wood Therapy Aftercare
Wood therapy involves using wooden tools to massage and contour the body, stimulating blood flow and lymphatic drainage.
1. Hydration
- Drink Plenty of Water: Stay hydrated to help your lymphatic system flush out toxins and break down fat cells more effectively. Aim for 2–3 liters of water daily.
2. Lymphatic Drainage
- Massage Benefits: Consider complementing wood therapy with manual lymphatic drainage to enhance detoxification and reduce swelling.
3. Skin Care
- Moisturize: Use a gentle, hydrating lotion to soothe the skin, especially if there’s any redness or sensitivity from the wooden tools.
- Avoid Irritants: Stay away from harsh soaps, exfoliants, or chemicals on treated areas for 24–48 hours.
4. Activity
- Light Exercise: Gentle movement like walking can further stimulate lymphatic flow and maximize results.
5. Diet
- Eat Clean: Follow a balanced diet with lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables to support the fat breakdown process. Avoid processed foods, sugar, and alcohol.
Ultrasound Cavitation Aftercare
Ultrasound cavitation uses sound waves to break down fat cells, which are then processed by your lymphatic system.
1. Hydration

2. Activity
- Light Exercise: Engage in moderate activity like brisk walking or cycling for at least 30 minutes within 24–48 hours post-treatment. This helps your body metabolize the fat more effectively.
3. Avoid Toxins

- Limit Caffeine: Reduce caffeine intake to allow your body to detoxify more effectively.
4. Compression Garments
