Pre-Treatment

• Notify your practitioner of any medications you have used within the last 6 months.  

 

• Discontinue use of medications containing AHA’s, retinoids, exfoliants, etc 1 week prior to treatment.

 

• Notify your practitioner if you have a history of perioral herpes.

 

Immediately Before Treatment

• Remove any make-up and/or lotions and make sure that the skin is dry in the area to be treated.

 

Post-Treatment

• You may return to your normal daily activities immediately after your treatments.  

 

• Avoid extended sun exposure or tanning for at least 1-week post treatment.  

 

• Use of a broad spectrum UVA/UVB minimum of SPF 30 is very important after receiving any laser treatment.   Remember to reapply throughout the day.

 

• Discontinue any chemical peels or exfoliating agents as the skin may become more sensitive after the treatment.

 

• Keep the area well moisturized as dryness may occur – an oil free lotion is preferred to help the treatment be as effective as possible.

 

• To achieve the best results, complete the full treatment schedule at the intervals recommended by your laser practitioner.
