We recommend that you have a light snack or meal 30 minutes prior to treatment.

Your privacy is so important to us. Upon arrival, we’ll usher you into your private pod for your Stingers intake. Afterward, feel free to do a little touch-up in the pod before you face the world again.

■ Drinking alcohol 12 hours prior
■ Vigorous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment (and lying down for 4 hours post)
■ Neuromodulator treatments during pregnancy and while nursing (it’s our policy not to inject people who are pregnant)
■ Facials immediately post-treatment (Tip: book your facial immediately before Stingers)

Stingers require no downtime, so you can get back to your day. You may experience small red bumps that look like bug bites, but they usually go away within the hour.

Undesirable outcomes — though unlikely — are both temporary and addressable. Headache, minor bruising, or swelling at the injection site are the most common (but still rare) side effects.

Cold packs are your friend. Use them liberally for 8 hours to help reduce swelling.
■ Arnica gel helps reduce bruising. You can start using it 30 minutes after your service – just apply it gently to the treated area.
■ Avoid exercise for 24 hours after your treatment. And facials are a no-go for at least 2 weeks.
■ Stay hydrated! Be sure to drink plenty of water after your treatment.
■ Avoid alcohol and salty foods – two culprits that contribute to swelling.
■ We don't advise reapplying makeup immediately following, as you should avoid touching your face as much as possible for the next 24 hours.

We’ll text you to check in on your progress and to see if you’d like to set up a 14-day follow-up appointment. Sometimes you may need a little tweak.
