Pretreatment

• Recently tanned skin CANNOT be treated! Treating within 2 weeks of active tanning (natural or tanning booth), you may develop blistering or hypopigmentation (white spots) after treatment. Hypopigmentation may not clear for 2-3 months or more.
• Avoid sun for 4-6 weeks before and after treatment. Wear broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher if needing to go out.
• You may be asked to stop topical medications or skin care products 3-5 days prior to treatment.
• Self-tanning products must be discontinued at least one week before treatment. Any residual self-tanner must be removed prior to treatment.
• If you have a tan or have a darker skin type, a bleaching regimen may be recommended 4-6 weeks before treatment.
• Arrive with clean freshly washed skin before procedure. There should be NO lotion, make-up, perfume, powder, or bath/shower oil present on skin that is in the treatment area.
• If necessary, a topical anesthetic can be used as directed if approved by physician.
• Areas of dental crown, caps, braces, or other metal implants may be more sensitive to treatment. Gauze, dental rolls, or a tongue depressor may be used in sensitive areas to make treatment more comfortable.
• If you have a history of peri-oral or genital herpes simplex virus, your provider may recommend a prophylactic antiviral therapy. Follow the directions for your particular antiviral medication.

Posttreatment

• After treatment there will be redness and swelling. Treated area will feel like a sunburn and may last a few hours after treatment. Redness may last up to 2-3 days.
• A cooling method after treatment may be provided for comfort.
• A topical soothing skin care product such as aloe vera gel may be applied following treatment if desired.
• Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyper-pigmentation.
• Use a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher at all times throughout recovery.
• Any treated pigment will appear darker immediately and within first few days following treatment. Darkened pigment will flake off within 7-10 days. Avoid picking or scratching treated area.
• Bathing is allowed but treat skin gently, as if you had a sunburn at least for 24 hours. Avoid high temperature water on skin to avoid irritation.
• Make a plan with your provider on an appropriate skin care regimen to keep up your results and have long lasting success.
