Before and After Care Explained
Before
- Sun Exposure:
- Stay out of the sun for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Any exposed areas should be protected with UPF clothing or SPF 30+ (preferably mineral sunscreen).
- Note: Even if you are treating a bikini line, having a sunburn on your face or arms can activate melanin everywhere, increasing the risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation.
- Skin Care Products:
- Discontinue use of active ingredients that cause photosensitivity (like retinoids, AHA/BHA, benzoyl peroxide, etc.) at least 2 weeks before treatment in the treatment area.
- Medications:
- If you are taking photosensitizing medications (e.g., certain antibiotics, Accutane, etc.), discontinue at least 4 weeks before laser treatment, with doctor’s approval.
- General Prep:
- Keep skin well hydrated with moisturizer.
- Apply SPF 30+ (mineral preferred) or UPF protection daily.
- Maintain good hydration by drinking plenty of water.
After
- Sun Exposure:
- Avoid direct sun for 2 weeks after treatment. Continue using SPF 30+ or UPF clothing daily.
- Heat & Friction:
- Keep the area cool and calm—avoid activities that cause heat, sweating, or friction (e.g., hot tubs, saunas, tight clothing, intense workouts) for 2 weeks.
- Skin Care:
- Use a gentle moisturizer to help with recovery. Skip exfoliants, harsh scrubs, or active ingredients until the skin has fully healed.
