results that stand out.
At Renovo Beauty Studio, every session is designed to create natural, life-changing results that enhance confidence and restore harmony to your skin. Each treatment is carefully tailored to blend seamlessly with your unique tone and texture, helping scars, stretch marks, and other skin imperfections become less visible. Following the pre- and post-care instructions is essential to achieving the best outcome. Clients who stay consistent with aftercare serums and topicals, protect their skin from sun exposure, and incorporate regular red light therapy ultimately accelerate their body's healing, experience faster recovery, richer pigment retention, better texture breakdown, and more refined, lasting results. Your commitment to care is just as important as the treatment itself in ensuring results that truly stand out.

Plan it.
PRE-CARE:
1. Gently exfoliate your body before the treatment to remove any dead skin cells.
2. Moisturize your skin to prepare for the treatment.
3. Shave the treatment areas beforehand, if needed.
4. Avoid laser treatments for at least 30 days before your appointment.
5. No tanning for 30 days before your appointment. If you’ve had a sunburn, wait at least 45 days.
6. Avoid blood thinners for 3 days prior to your appointment.
7. Wear loose clothing on the day of your appointment, as the treated area may be slightly tender.
8. Eat before your appointment and stay hydrated. Limit caffeine intake.
9. Plan ahead—no working out for 5 days after your treatment.
10. No showering for 24 hours post-treatment, so be sure to shower beforehand.
11. Taking collagen supplements during and after treatment is highly recommended. We will discuss brands and options.
12. Face clients: Avoid retinoids, retinol, and exfoliation for one week before treatment.
13. Avoid alcohol and smoking within 24 hours of treatment.

Nourish it.
AFTER-CARE:
1. Avoid sunbathing or direct sun exposure on treated areas for 30-40 days during the healing phase.
2. Apply aftercare serums on treated areas 2-3 times per day with clean hands or gloves.
3. No working out or excessive sweating for 5 days. Try to minimize sweating as much as possible.
4. Stretch marks will appear darker—this is normal. Please do not panic. Full healing takes 3-6 weeks, and everyone heals at a different rate.
5. Avoid pools, jacuzzis, exfoliation, laser hair removal, or waxing on treated areas for 14 days.
6. Inkless clients: It’s best to do red light therapy every 3-5 days post-op for 25 minutes to enhance healing and reduce hyperpigmentation. Appointments are available in the studio or can be done at home.
7. Avoid using any self-tanning products for the first 30 days.
8. To reduce swelling, use cold packs for a few minutes on and off. (First night only)
9. Avoid sleeping on the treated area until swelling decreases.
10. Do not wash the treated area with scented soap. Antiseptic soap, such as Dial, is recommended.
11. Avoid showering with hot water for the first few days, as it may cause irritation.
12. Do not scrub, rub, or pick at the epithelial crust that forms. Allow it to flake off naturally. Premature removal may pull out the pigment. (Inkless clients may also experience peeling—this is normal; do not peel.)
13. If you experience an allergic reaction, contact your physician immediately.
14. Face clients: Avoid makeup on the skin for 48 hours following treatment. Hold off on your usual skincare routine for one week and use only gentle skincare and aftercare serums.

COLLAGEN RECOMMENDATIONS
Healing doesn't stop when you leave the treatment room. Supporting your body from the inside out is just as important.
Collagen is the body's most abundant protein and plays an important role in healthy skin and connective tissue. Here are three of my favorite collagen recommendations—clean, easy to take, and products I genuinely trust and recommend to my clients. (None of these options are vegan.)
Option 1: (clickable link)
Liquid BioCell® Life+
⭐ My #1 recommendation for optimal healing & collagen support. This highly bioavailable liquid collagen features patented Collagen/HA Matrix® technology with bioactive collagen peptides, hyaluronic acid, and chondroitin sulfate in a form your body readily recognizes and utilizes. Easy to take, easy to absorb, and designed to support healthy skin, connective tissue, and your body's natural collagen renewal.*
Recommended use: 1 Tbsp morning & evening (2 bottles/month) for optimal support. One- and two-bottle Monthly Delivery options are available, but I recommend the 2-bottle option for the best results.
✨ When you order through my link, you'll receive 15% off every order with Monthly Delivery, plus a FREE Shaklee membership—no fees, no obligations, and no strings attached.
Option 2: (clickable link)
Pure Collagen from Grass-Fed Brazilian Cows
🥩 My favorite clean collagen powder. Made with one simple ingredient—100% hydrolyzed collagen peptides from grass-fed, pasture-raised Brazilian cattle. Flavorless, easy to mix into coffee, smoothies, or your favorite beverage, delivering 20g of collagen peptides per serving with no fillers, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, or artificial ingredients. Third-party tested for quality and purity to support healthy skin, connective tissue, joints, and your body's natural collagen production.*
Recommended use: 1–2 scoops daily (1 container = 30-day supply).
Option 3: (clickable link)
Nu Skin Beauty Focus® Collagen+
✨ My favorite beauty-focused collagen. This clinically studied formula features bioactive collagen peptides designed to help stimulate your body's natural collagen and elastin production, plus lutein and phytoceramides to support skin hydration, radiance, texture, and a healthy skin barrier.* Convenient, great-tasting, and easy to enjoy daily for inside-out skin support.
Recommended use: Mix 1 scoop daily with water (or choose the ready-to-drink pouch option). Available in powder and convenient single-serve pouches.
Aftercare Serums from Nue Conceal: *These are available in-studio (limited stock, sells out quickly)
NUE Bright™ Post Care Gel
✨ My go-to post-treatment serum to support your healing journey after scar and stretch mark revision. Formulated with professional-grade brightening and skin-repair ingredients including Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, Copper Peptides, Hyaluronic Acid, and Centella Asiatica to help support hydration, soothe the skin, and promote a more even-looking skin tone during recovery.*
Recommended use: Apply a thin layer to clean skin 2–3 times daily as directed throughout your healing process for optimal post-treatment support.
NUE ReGen™ Post Care Gel
🩹 My favorite recovery serum to nourish and support your skin after scar and stretch mark treatments. This professional-grade formula features growth factors, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and soothing botanicals to help hydrate the skin, support the skin barrier, and encourage your body's natural healing response for healthier-looking skin.*
Recommended use: Apply a thin layer to clean skin 2–3 times daily, or as directed, throughout your healing process for optimal recovery and hydration.
At-Home Red Light Therapy Panel
🔴 One of my favorite tools to support healing between treatments. Red light therapy helps support your body's natural healing process, promotes wound healing, encourages healthy collagen production, and enhances overall skin recovery when used consistently as part of your post-treatment routine.*
Recommended use: 25–30 minutes per session, at least 3 times per week (up to 5 times weekly), positioning the panel approximately 6 inches from the treatment area. Avoid red light therapy blankets or any device that places direct heat directly against the skin during the healing process, as excess heat may interfere with optimal recovery.
