How to prepare for my appointment?
Prepare for Your Appointment:
1. Stop using Retinol, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, and Beta Hydroxy Acids five days before your scheduled appointment. These products can make your skin more sensitive to treatments.
2. Avoid direct sun exposure, including tanning beds, for at least two weeks before your appointment. Sun exposure can increase the risk of skin irritation during the treatment.
3. Fill out all consultation forms before you attend. This will help your skincare professional better understand your skin concerns and goals.
4. Whenever possible, attend your appointment without makeup. This will ensure that your skin is clean and ready for the treatment.
