Pre-Treatment Instructions:


  • Avoid products containing any exfoliating agents (retinoic acid, tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, astringents, etc.) for 24-48 hours before treatment.
  • If you have a history of cold sores, we recommend a course of antiviral medication pre and post treatment in order to prevent an outbreak of cold sores if you are prone to them.

Post-Treatment Instructions:


  • Redness is normal, post-treatment and typically resolves within a few hours.
  • Avoid products containing any exfoliating agents (retinoic acid, tretinoin, retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, astringents, etc.) for 24 hours after treatment.
  • To enhance results and minimize potential side effects, ask your provider about skincare products recommended post- treatment.
  • You may resume your regular skin care routine 24 hours after treatment, or as directed by your skincare provider.
