PRE TREATMENT INTRUCTIONS

  • SUN EXPOSURE

    Limit your sun exposure and avoid tanning beds, spray tanning & tinted lotions for at least 2-4 weeks before your Treatment. Sunburned or tan skin is not suitable for a laser facial.

    It is required to wear a physical sunblock of at least SPF 30 daily to protect your skin.

  • Acid products

    Stop using any retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or other exfoliating products for at least 5 days before your laser facial. These products can increase skin sensitivity and increase risk of irritation.

  • Avoid NSAIDS

    Avoid taking blood thinning medication, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or certain, herbal supplements, like fish oil. These medication's can increase the risk of bruising or bleeding during your treatment.

    Tylenol is Okay.

  • Avoid Make-up

    If possible, please arrive with a makeup-free and clean face. This means removing all traces of makeup, including foundation, concealer, powder, eyeshadow, and mascara.

  • home care

    It may be required to follow a specific home care treatment regimen and use recommended products prior to your laser facial.

    A customized regimen is designed to prepare the skin for the procedure and maximize its benefits. Using specific home care treatment products helps to condition the skin making it more receptive to the procedure.

  • Hydrate

    Maintain good hydration by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydrated skin is better able to tolerate the treatment.

POST TREATMENT INTRUCTIONS

  • Sun Exposure

    Avoid direct sun exposure and protect your skin from harmful UV rays for at least two weeks after your treatment.

    Sun exposure can reverse results and increase the risk of complications.

    We recommend using a physical sunscreen with a SPF of zinc, or titanium of 30 or higher

  • Avoid Heat

    Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam, rooms, and activities that cause excessive sweating for the first 48 hours after the treatment. Heat can increase redness, inflammation and prolong the healing process.

  • Gentle Home Care

    Use gentle, non-irritating skin care products on the treated area. Avoid products that contain harsh chemicals, fragrances, or exfoliating agents for up to one week after your laser facial. Opt for mild cleansers, moisturizers, and sunscreen, specifically formulated for sensitive skin.

  • don't touch

    Avoid scrubbing, or rubbing the treated area for at least one week. Pat the skin dry gently after cleansing and avoid any aggressive, exfoliation, or rubbing motions that could irritate the skin.

  • moisturize

    Keep the treated area moisturized to prevent dryness and promote healing. Choose a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer and apply it at least twice a day or as directed by your skin care provider.

    It is recommended to only use Products that are recommended by your aesthetician as various home options can change the pH of your treatment and neutralize your results.

  • AVOID MAKE-UP

    Avoid applying heavy make-up or using skin care products that contain harsh chemicals, perfumes, or dies on the treated area for at least 48 hours. Allow the skin to breathe and heal naturally during this time.

  • avoid exfoliants

    Cleanse your face with a gentle cleanser recommended by your aesthetician. Avoid using harsh or abrasive products that can irritate the skin.

    Refrain from using exfoliating products, retinoids, glycolic, salicylic or any other potential, irritating skin care products for 5 days.

  • Hydrate

    Drinking plenty of water after your treatment is essential for optimal healing and recovery. Water plays a crucial role in maintaining skins hydration and promoting the elimination of toxins from the body.

    Attend any scheduled follow up appointments with your provider to monitor your progress and address Any concerns or complications.

    It is common to need a series of treatments to achieve the desired goals and results.
