More Information
Pre-Treatment Care
Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly, especially in the weeks leading up to your treatment. Sun damage can increase the risk of complications and affect treatment outcomes.
Skincare Routine: Follow a gentle skincare routine recommended by your provider. Avoid harsh products, exfoliants, and retinoids in the days leading up to your treatment to prevent irritation.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your treatment to keep your skin hydrated and promote optimal healing.
Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications: Avoid medications and supplements that can thin the blood, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain vitamins, unless advised otherwise by your provider. These can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding during and after treatment.
Communicate Any Changes: Inform your provider of any changes in your health, medications, or skincare routine since your last consultation. This includes pregnancy, recent illnesses, or new skincare products.
Post-Treatment Care
Follow Provider's Instructions: Follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your provider carefully. This may include specific skincare products to use, activities to avoid, and when to schedule follow-up appointments.
Minimize Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from the sun by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, avoiding direct sun exposure, and wearing protective clothing and hats. Sun exposure can increase the risk of pigmentation changes and other complications.
Avoid Touching Treated Areas: Avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas unnecessarily, as this can disrupt the healing process and increase the risk of infection.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and support the body's healing processes.
Use Recommended Skincare Products: Use gentle skincare products recommended by your provider to cleanse and moisturize the treated areas. Avoid harsh or abrasive products that can irritate the skin.
Avoid Excessive Heat: Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and excessive heat exposure for the first few days after treatment, as this can exacerbate swelling and inflammation.
Follow-Up Care: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments with your provider to monitor your progress and address any concerns or questions you may have.
