Preparing for Your First Treatment

Each treatment at JCandy is designed to enhance your natural beauty. Being prepared will make your experience smoother. Here’s a breakdown of how to get ready for the most popular treatments:

Brow Definition

Before your brow definition treatment, make sure to:

• Avoid tweezing or waxing for at least two weeks before your appointment, allowing Jodi to work with the natural shape of your brows.
• Come in with a clean face—no makeup on your brows or skin for the best results.
• Expect the treatment to take about 30–45 minutes. Jodi will carefully map and tint your brows to perfection.

Eyelash Extensions

Lash extensions are one of JCandy’s most sought-after services. Here’s how to prepare:

• Cleanse your lashes thoroughly before your appointment to remove any oils or makeup.
• Skip mascara on the day of your treatment, as clean lashes ensure better lash extension retention.
• Plan for a 1.5 to 2-hour appointment depending on the desired lash look (natural or voluminous).
• Aftercare tip: avoid water or steam for 24–48 hours post-treatment to let the lashes fully set.

Facial Treatments (e.g. Hydra Dermabrasion)

Facials at JCandy, like the hydra dermabrasion, leave your skin glowing. Here’s what to do:

• Avoid exfoliating for 48 hours prior to your appointment.
• Hydrate your skin by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment.
• Wear no makeup on the day to give Jodi a clean base to work with.
• Post-treatment: Use gentle products and avoid sun exposure for 24 hours to maintain the glow.

Microblading

If you want more natural looking brows Microblading is your best bet, and here’s how to prepare:

• Avoid using retinol or exfoliants on your brow area for at least one week.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine on the day of your appointment, as they can thin the blood.
• Don’t wax or tweeze before the treatment; Jodi will take care of any stray hairs during your session.

Fibroblast Plasma Skin Treatment

This beauty treatment is perfect for rejuvenating the skin and reducing wrinkles. To get the best results:

• Avoid tanning and exfoliating treatments two weeks before your appointment.
• Do not wear makeup on the day.
• Aftercare is key! Keep the treated area clean and dry, avoid excessive sun exposure, and follow the detailed instructions Jodi will provide.

Massage beauty treatment

Planning to unwind with a relaxing massage at JCandy? Here’s what to do:

• Wear comfortable clothing that’s easy to remove.
• Stay hydrated and avoid a heavy meal before your session.
• Arrive a few minutes early to settle in and relax before your treatment.

Botox

Botox treatments are popular for reducing wrinkles and fine lines. Here’s how to prepare:

• Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol, and certain supplements like fish oil a few days before.
• Come with a clean face, free of makeup and skincare products.
• Aftercare: refrain from lying down for four hours post-treatment, avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, and follow any aftercare advice from Jodi.

Waxing

Waxing is another service Jodi provides to help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin. Before your appointment:

• Exfoliate the area the day before to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
• Avoid moisturisers or oils on the day of your appointment to allow the wax to adhere properly.
• Aftercare: Wear loose clothing and avoid heat or sun exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.

Additional Information to Support Your Beauty Journey

• Pre-Treatment Hydration: Staying hydrated improves skin elasticity, making it more receptive to treatments like facials, microblading, and fibroblast plasma.
• Avoid Caffeine: Some studies suggest that avoiding caffeine before your beauty treatment can reduce sensitivity, making your experience more comfortable.
• Post-Treatment Care: Proper aftercare enhances the longevity of treatments. For example, research shows that avoiding sun exposure after skincare treatments prevents hyperpigmentation and prolongs the results.
