What do I wear for my treatment?
Wear comfortable, loose fitting clothing to your appointment. Patients remain fully clothed during most treatments, except for shoes. Pants are preferred for women. We ask that patients refrain from wearing perfumes and strong fragrances since some of our patients are chemically sensitive. It is helpful for you to be as relaxed as possible for your treatment. Please refrain from consuming stimulants such as coffee, alcohol, or nicotine right before your appointment.
