Proper preparation ensures better results and minimizes the risk of irritation or complications. Please follow these steps prior to your appointment:

​

• Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 5–7 days before your treatment.

 

• Discontinue use of active skincare products (Retinol, Retin-A, AHAs/BHAs, Vitamin C, and exfoliants) 3–5 days prior.

 

• Avoid Botox, fillers, or other injectables in the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your session.

 

• No chemical peels, waxing, or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks before.

 

• Do not take blood-thinning medications or supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, fish oil, Vitamin E) for at least 72 hours, unless prescribed by your doctor.

 

• Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin.

 

• Stay well-hydrated leading up to your appointment.

 

• Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores—an antiviral medication may be recommended for lip or surrounding areas.
