• Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face, avoiding any lotions, creams, or skincare products.

Post-Treatment Instructions:

• Avoid makeup for at least 6 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to breathe.

• Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer and avoid products containing harsh chemicals, acids, or retinoids for 48 hours.

• Some mild redness, warmth, or tingling is normal and should subside within a few hours.

• Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1 week. If outdoors, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen and reapply regularly.

• Do not use exfoliants or retinoids for at least 48 hours to prevent irritation.
