Your first appointment to prepare for your treatment is to make the mask. This will take about an hour.
The mask is made from a mesh material called aquaplast. The aquaplast is placed on your head, face, and neck. It is warm and soft at first. While you lay comfortably flat, the mask becomes firm, contouring your head, face, and neck.
A piece of aquaplast will be moulded around the back of your head. Another piece will go across your forehead and between your nose and mouth.
A special piece of aquaplast forms a mouthpiece that will be fitted over your 2 front teeth.
The other 2 pieces will be moulded across the nose and over your face. The mask will not interfere with your breathing.
It will take about 30 minutes to complete. During this time, you will be asked to remain very still.
Once the mask is cool, it will be removed, ready for daily use.
