Pre-Procedure and Post-Procedure Guide

Pre-Procedure

• 1 Month Before: Follow any special skincare instructions provided during your consultation. Otherwise, continue with your normal skincare regime.
• 2 Weeks Before: Use SPF50+! Avoid sunburns, tanning beds, and self-tanners.
• 3 Days Before: Continue your normal skincare regime but stop using active ingredients (AHA and BHAs, such as Retinol, glycolic acid, etc.). Maintain consistent SPF application.
• Morning of Appointment: Cleanse thoroughly and arrive with clean skin. Depending on the treatment area, loose-fitting clothes may be required.
• Avoid any chemical peels or injectable treatments (such as Botox or fillers) within two weeks of your skin rejuvenation treatment.

Post Procedure

Patients may experience a slight redness or pinkness which should subside within an hour or two.

• Depending on the treatment area, patients can apply makeup immediately afterwards, if desired.
• Use SPF50+ diligently, especially during the healing process.
• Resume your normal skincare routine in the evening, avoiding active ingredients for 24-48 hours.
• Resume all skincare products, including actives, the next day onward. Continue to protect your skin with SPF50+. (Melasma is not curable! Please be good about SPF 50+ daily to minimize the chances of recurrence!)
• Hydrate well!
