How Do I Prepare for My First ESTIQ Appointment?

  • 11 Feb 2026

Preparation is the key to a successful treatment. We want your skin to be in a calm, healthy state so the ESTIQ technology can work its magic effectively. By following a few simple steps, you can ensure that your skin is primed for the best possible collagen stimulation and healing.


Your pre-treatment checklist for success:

Sun Protection: Avoid heavy sun exposure or tanning beds for at least two weeks prior.

Hydration: Drink plenty of water; well-hydrated skin responds much better to energy treatments.

Skincare Check: Pause use of retinols, AHAs, or harsh acids 3–5 days before your session.

Clear Skin: Arrive with a clean face, free of heavy makeup or lotions for the best results.


What does the treatment feel like during the session? Most patients describe a warming sensation or a light "snapping" feeling on the skin. We use integrated cooling techniques and, if necessary, topical numbing to ensure you are comfortable throughout. The procedure is quick, usually taking 30–45 minutes, making it the perfect "lunchtime" refresh. You might experience some slight redness afterward, but this usually fades within a few hours.
