How long are the stickers they place over the marks supposed to last? I'm going into my 4th week and they are starting to peel off and I gathered they were supposed to last the whole 6 weeks!

    They check them each tx.Will replace them if necessary. Just use your soaped hand to wash over, dry gently.

    Thank you Spookiesmom. I read a previous post on here about this and the technicians were feisty about it so I called and they were super nice about it. I'm so relieved.

    Mumzzy21, my techs gave me a few extra stickers to keep at hand in case the stickers started to come off over a weekend/holiday. They also used a sharpie-type ink to X the spots (NOT tattoos, at my insistence). We got through the 7 weeks just fine and I'll bet you will, too. :)

    A few of mine wore off and the techs re-inked me and put new stickers on. I had one area that developed a rash, so they switched to a special hypoallergenic sharpie and no sticker on that spot for the rest of the sessions.
