Whether you are booked in for laser treatment, Plasma Pen, or a chemical peel, how you prepare your skin in the days and weeks beforehand can significantly impact your results. Here is our expert guide to pre-treatment care.
Hydration Is Key
Well-hydrated skin responds better to treatments and heals faster. In the two weeks leading up to your appointment, increase your water intake and introduce a hydrating serum into your routine. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5.
Pause Active Ingredients
Stop using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and other active exfoliants at least 48 to 72 hours before your treatment. These ingredients can make the skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation during and after the procedure.
Protect From the Sun
Sun-damaged or tanned skin is more vulnerable during aesthetic treatments. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily in the weeks before your appointment, and avoid prolonged sun exposure, sunbeds, and self-tanning products.
