Pre and Post Care for the Skin Irregularity Treatments
Avoid using any skin resurfacing products for a few days prior to your treatment, and that you don’t have any chemical peels or other strong exfoliating facials for a month prior to your appointment.
After your treatment, take gentle care of your skin:
• Avoid using harsh or exfoliating skincare products on the treated area for 21 days after your appointment.
• For two days following your treatment, avoid saunas, intense exercise, and any other high-temperature environments or intense activities.
• If you do experience any scabbing or irritation, avoid picking at the skin. Instead, apply a skin protective ointment daily to the area.
• Practice diligent sun protection by wearing sunscreen and sun-protective clothing whenever you are exposed to sunlight.
*Contraindications are: pacemaker, epilepsy, pregnant, bleeding disorders, history of keloid scarring, and/or any medications that could delay healing.
Botox: Administer no treatment until 72 hours after injection.
