1 Week Before Treatment

• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, or self-tanning products on the treatment area.
• Refrain from chemical peels, laser treatments, or microneedling in the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your session.
• Stop using retinoids, glycolic/salicylic acid, and other exfoliating actives 3–5 days before treatment.
• Stay well-hydrated (drink at least 64 oz. of water daily) leading up to your appointment. Hydration improves heat conduction and results.
• If possible, avoid NSAIDs and blood-thinning supplements (Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginkgo) for 3 days prior, if medically cleared.
• Do not apply lotions, oils, or creams to the treatment area on the day of your appointment.

Day of Treatment

• Arrive with clean, product-free skin—no makeup, lotion, deodorant, or sunscreen on the area to be treated.
• Shave the area if it contains dense hair; avoid waxing or plucking before your session.
• Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
• Avoid caffeine or alcohol the day of your treatment to optimize hydration and circulation.
• Notify your provider of any implants, pacemakers, or metal in the treatment area.
• Eat a light meal or snack before your session to prevent lightheadedness.
