How long do my sutures stay in the skin?

FAQs
This depends on a multitude of factors such as age, fragileness of skin tissue, wound tension, location and health risks such as diabetes. Normally, sutures stay placed for 7 days on the face. All other areas have sutures left in place for 10 to 14 days. If you are a quick healer, then we would like to reevaluate your surgical area in 7 days to determine if they need to be removed in a shorter time period.

Waxing By Day - Waxing Questions
Depends on the person and the skin type. For most people it takes up to 1/2 hour. After waxing, do not tan or jump in chlorine for at least 24 hours. Avoid perfumes, scrubs, or other irritants the day of the waxing service. If you're a bride or attending a special occasion, I recommend receiving waxing services a month before your special day to see how your skin reacts. If everything is fine, reschedule another wax a day or two before your event.
