We’ll provide specific instructions to help you prepare for your treatment, but some general practices we encourage our patients to take include:
Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun and skip tanning beds for at least 4 weeks before treatment to prevent skin complications.
Use Sunscreen: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily, even on cloudy days.
Stop Certain Skincare Products: Cease using products with retinoids, alpha and beta hydroxy acids, and benzoyl peroxide one week before your session.
Avoid Skin Irritants: Do not wax, undergo chemical peels, or get collagen injections for two weeks before your appointment.
Clean Your Skin: Ensure your skin is free from makeup, lotions, and perfumes on the day of the treatment.
Compile Your Medical History: Inform your practitioner about any medications or medical conditions that might affect the treatment.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment to keep your skin hydrated.
