Laser & Light Treatment Instructions
Before your visit
- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and self tanner for 2 weeks. Please note that most laser or light treatments cannot be completed with an active tan
- Come with clean skin (no makeup or lotion)
- If you have a history of cold sores, let your provider know.
- If doing hair laser, please shave 1 day prior to visit or as instructed by your provider.
After your visit
- Redness and swelling is normal after laser therapy. In most cases it will resolve within 24-48 hours
- After BBL, it is not uncommon for the area treated to feel like a sunburn. This sensation usually resolves in a few hours after treatment.
- If treating dark spots, it is expected for them to get darker (like coffee grounds) before they start to lighten
- Full improvement may not be seen for several weeks after your laser/ light session
- Most conditions require several sessions to achieve ideal outcomes.
