BEFORE YOU BOOK · 7 CARDS1/8
RULE 01 · SUN2/8No tan. Not even a little.
Skip sunbathing and tanning beds for 2–4 weeks before treatment, and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily. A fresh tan raises pigmentation risk — and can get your session postponed.
RULE 02 · ACTIVES3/8Press pause on your strongest skincare.
Retinoids, AHA/BHA acids, strong vitamin C — many clinics ask you to stop them days to two weeks out. Timelines differ by device and skin, so ask for your exact cut-off.
RULE 03 · PROCEDURES4/8No waxing. No peels. No “one last facial.”
Avoid waxing, chemical peels and other resurfacing on the treatment area for about two weeks prior. A disrupted barrier makes laser more irritating, not more effective.
RULE 04 · MEDS5/8Tell your doctor everything.
Photosensitizing medication can clash with light-based treatments, and a cold-sore history often means antivirals before treatment. Never stop a prescription on your own — ask the prescriber.
FOR TRAVELERS6/8Plan your itinerary around your skin.
Book treatment early in the trip, before beach days and long sunny walks — not after them. Arriving with sun-stressed skin is the most avoidable reason plans change.
TREATMENT DAY7/8Arrive with clean skin. Nothing else.
No makeup, no perfume on the treatment area. Come early — good clinics examine your skin before any device turns on.
