Pre-Treatment Instructions
1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least 2-4 weeks before treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) daily.
2. Shave the Treatment Area: Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment. The closer the shave the better. Avoid waxing, plucking, or epilating for 4-6 weeks, as the hair follicle needs to remain intact.
3. Avoid Skin Irritants: Stop using retinoids, glycolic acids, or other exfoliating products in the treatment area 3-5 days before the session.
4. Do Not Apply Creams or Lotions: Arrive with clean, dry skin free of makeup, lotions, deodorant, or oils.
5. Avoid Certain Medications: Inform your provider about any medications you are taking. Avoid blood-thinning medications or photosensitizing drugs as directed.
6. Please wait at least 2 week after Botox or fillers if treating in that area.
7.If you have a current infection in the area to be treated, you must let your provider know prior to appointment.
8.If you have any tattoo or piercings in the area please let us know beforehand.
Post-Treatment Instructions
1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect the treated area from the sun for at least 2-4 weeks. Use sunscreen daily.
2. Cool the Area: Use a cold compress or aloe vera gel to soothe any redness or swelling.
3. Avoid Heat: Avoid hot showers, saunas, or workouts that make you sweat for 24-48 hours.
4. Do Not Exfoliate Immediately: Wait 5-7 days before exfoliating to prevent irritation.

6. Avoid Skin Irritants: Do not use retinoids, glycolic acids, or harsh products for 3-5 days post-treatment.
