Pre-Treatment Instructions

Avoid Sun & UV Exposure Before Your Treatment

Protect your skin from sun exposure and tanning 3–4 weeks prior to treatment, or use a minimum SPF 30 sunscreen regularly to prevent skin damage and complications during and after the treatment.

Avoid Topical Skincare Products

Refrain from using any topical products that may irritate your skin, such as retinoids, exfoliants, alpha or beta hydroxy acids, or other harsh skincare products, for 2–3 days before your treatment. Switch to gentle skincare options during this period to keep your skin calm and balanced.

Avoid Certain Medications If Possible

If your medical condition permits, avoid using anticoagulant medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners for 7–10 days before your treatment. These medications can increase the risk of bruising and bleeding during the procedure.

Shave the Treatment Area

Shave the treatment area before your appointment and ensure that all shaved hair is removed. Ensure your skin is thoroughly clean, free of any lotions, oils, makeup, or other products.

Aftercare Instructions

Sun & UV Protection Post-Treatment

Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure and apply SPF for 3 weeks after the treatment.

Keep the Area Moisturized

You can apply a moisturizer after your treatment to help support the aftercare process and maintain skin hydration.

Make-up Application

If your skin feels calm and isn’t showing any signs of irritation, you can apply makeup after your treatment.
