How to Prepare for Your Spa TreatmentUpdated 21 days ago

How to Prepare for Your Spa Treatment

We want your IKOU spa experience to feel calm, comfortable, and restorative from the very first moment you arrive. A little preparation goes a long way in making the most of your time with us. 

Before You Arrive

  • Arrive 10–15 minutes early where possible — this gives you time to relax, settle in, and complete any consultation forms at a comfortable pace
  • Wear comfortable, relaxed clothing
  • Stay well hydrated throughout the day before your appointment

Health & Wellness Information

Please let your therapist know prior to your appointment if any of the following apply to you:

  • You are pregnant
  • You have allergies or sensitivities
  • You have recently undergone cosmetic procedures
  • You have any injuries or medical conditions that may affect your comfort during treatment

Sharing this information helps us personalise your experience safely and appropriately — so you can fully relax and enjoy every moment.

Preparing Your Skin

For facial treatments, we recommend avoiding the following in the days leading up to your appointment:

What to Avoid
Why
Strong exfoliation immediately before
May cause sensitivity during treatment
Active skincare products on sensitised skin
Can increase skin reactivity
Excessive sun exposure prior to treatment
May affect skin comfort and treatment outcomes


Relax & Unwind

Your treatment time is your time — an opportunity to slow down, rest, and reconnect with yourself. We encourage you to arrive with enough time to settle in fully before your treatment begins.

Leave the to-do list at the door. You deserve this. 


Have Questions Before Your Appointment?

Please contact your chosen spa location directly for any appointment-specific queries — they'll be best placed to assist with booking details, treatment options, and any individual requirements.
