instructions and FAQs

You've had your appointment. You love your results, and now you're home. You know your Vitality provider discussed post-care instructions with you, and even gave you a sheet to take home, but you just can't remember the details. We're here to help. Click on your treatment to read all the information you need to care for your investment. Of course, if you have questions, we're always a click or phone call away.

Or, maybe you're considering a treatment your Vitality provider recommended and you just want to be sure you're picking the perfect timing for your busy schedule. While very few of our treatments have a downtime for more than a day or two, we want to make sure the investment you make doesn't interfere with your daily life.
