• Avoid unprotected UV (sun) exposure for a minimum of 4 weeks prior to treatment. It is recommended you avoid unprotected UV exposure throughout the duration of your treatments.
• Wear broad spectrum minimum SPF 30+ (UVB/UVA) daily.
• The use of exfoliating skincare products recommended by your Dermal Therapist will help prepare the skin for treatments and enhance results.
• Discontinue using prescription vitamin A (Retrieve ®, Retin A®, Steva A®) or high-strength over the counter retinol 5 days before your treatment unless advised otherwise.
• If you have a history of herpes/cold sores, you may wish to take anti-viral medication prior to treatment, to prevent an onset.

• Avoid waxing or anything that may cause trauma to the skin during the healing phase.
