Our aim is that with every Simplicitè visit, you come away feeling like a better version of yourself. Whether it’s more empowered, more relaxed, or just thrilled about your results. With this in mind, we’ve compiled a list of pre and post care information to ensure you get the most out of your time with us.
In the beauty world, prevention is better than cure. Which is why, regardless of treatment, we recommend applying SPF20+ daily, hydrating well, washing your makeup brushes and changing your pillowcase regularly. All habits which require diligence, but we promise you’ll thank us in years to come.
