You will be instructed not to apply any type of moisturizer, sunblock or oil to your legs on the day of your procedure and advised to shower the morning before your treatment too. This is to ensure that your legs are clean, lotions on the skin have the potential to carry germs and bacteria that may promote infection. We want the area being treated to be sterile so having a shower the day of your surgery and not using any lotions afterward will help ensure this. We also advise that you refrain from shaving your legs the day of your procedure; this is to reduce any razor burn irritation when the sterilizing wash is applied to your legs before surgery.
