What does full-body actually include?
“Full-body” does not define one universal list of areas. Before comparing options, ask for a written explanation of included areas, exclusions and any conditions or limits.
Do not assume an intimate area is included simply because a package uses that name. Confirm any specific area before booking. Face, back, legs and underarms should not automatically be assumed to follow an identical plan.
Prioritize areas around your own goal
Make a list of areas you are interested in and rank your priorities. You might start by asking about the areas that take the most time in your current routine. You do not need to add unwanted areas to make a proposal seem more complete.
Bring questions about privacy, clothing during the appointment and how each area is defined. A clear explanation helps you and the person assisting you discuss the same scope.

Appointment length and sessions: what to confirm
We cannot promise one appointment length for every person or package. Ask how much time to allow for your specific proposal and whether areas would be treated in the same visit or organized differently.
The number and spacing of sessions should reflect assessment and progress. If you travel from another city, arrange transportation after you understand the plan rather than compressing treatment frequency to fit a trip.
Prepare the conversation before your visit
Discuss medications, products, sun exposure, previous reactions and recent procedures. Ask how to prepare each area and request written instructions. Do not stop or change medication on your own.
Mention irritation, wounds or skin changes before attending. Do not conceal a lesion with makeup or assume it can be treated like the rest of the area.

Afterward: follow advice for your own case
Ask how to plan clothing, exercise, hygiene products and outdoor activities. An everyday skincare routine may need adjustments after treatment. A general guide cannot establish when to restart every product.
Seek advice if you develop a concerning reaction. Do not try to accelerate results with rubbing or exfoliation. Keep the instructions and a list of questions for follow-up.
Before committing to a package
Confirm areas, current pricing, terms, estimated schedule and whom to contact afterward. This article does not claim Polanco includes a specific list of areas or fixed appointment duration. Request the current scope directly.
