Dr. Scott Gerrish recommends staying out of the sun for 3-4 weeks pre and post-treatment. Treating tanned skin with a laser is never recommended and can result in unexpected side effects. Your provider will recommend stopping using exfoliating products (scrubs & peels) one week before treatment to ensure your skin is not overly sensitive. Hydrate and keep your skin protected with SPF 30+ daily.  You will receive a 7-day post-recovery kit that addresses hydration and repair as a part of your Gerrish MedEsthetics 3DMIRCL Treatment Plan.
