Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before treatment, and arrive with clean skin free of makeup, creams, and oils. Avoid retinoids/Retin-A®, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other irritating or exfoliating products as directed by your practitioner. Avoid waxing, chemical peels, and other aggressive treatments before your appointment, and let us know about any medications, skincare products, or recent treatments.
Your skin may appear slightly pink, warm, or sensitive immediately after treatment. Pigmented areas may temporarily darken before gradually fading as your body naturally clears the treated pigment. Keep your skin hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure and excessive heat, and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily. Avoid retinoids/Retin-A®, AHAs, BHAs, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, vitamin C, and other active or exfoliating products until your skin has fully settled. Follow any personalized aftercare instructions provided by your practitioner.
