Although it’s not required, we recommend avoiding aspirin and other blood-thinning medications. If you are taking these as prescriptions from your primary care physician, get in touch with them to ensure that you can safely pause these medications during treatment. You may also want to discontinue antibiotics with your doctor’s permission.

Stop using retinoid products for 2 days before your visit so your skin is less sensitive. Hydrate as much as you can for optimal healing after your treatment. You should also use sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV exposure.

You may experience mildly pink skin after you finish each session, which goes away after 24 to 48 hours.
