Stop using active skincare products entirely unless specifically recommended by your provider.
Avoid excessive heat exposure, including saunas, hot showers, and intense exercise, as these can cause inflammation.
If prescribed a topical numbing cream, follow your provider’s instructions on when and how to apply it before your appointment.
If you have a history of herpes (such as oral cold sores or genital) or shingles in your treatment area, let your healthcare provider know.
Stay well-hydrated and follow a healthy diet to support skin healing and improve treatment results.
If you are prone to cold sores, start taking an antiviral medication (such as Valtrex®) as directed by your provider to prevent an outbreak.
Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications. Always use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily if you will be outdoors.
Day of Treatment
Arrive with clean skin. Do not apply makeup, lotion, sunscreen, or any skincare products to the treatment area.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing, especially if treating areas beyond the face.
Eat a light meal before your appointment to prevent dizziness or lightheadedness.
Plan for some downtime post-treatment, as redness, swelling, and peeling are expected.
Arrange for transportation if needed, especially if receiving a strong numbing agent or sedative during your procedure.
Inform your provider of any recent illnesses, new medications, or health changes, as these may affect your treatment eligibility.
By following these pre-treatment instructions, you will ensure a smoother procedure and better healing. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Azure Dream MedSpa before your appointment.
