• Avoid exfoliating products, such as, scrubs, AHA + BHA (serums, moisturizers and masks) and retinol approximately 3 days before scheduled appointment

• Stop topical acne medication two weeks prior

TREATMENT RECOMMMENDATIONS

The number of treatments you will need depends on what your personal skin care goal is.  One treatment will leave the skin instantly smoother and brighter.  If you are looking to address a specific skin care concern, such as, pigmentation, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores etc. a series of treatments is recommended, as results are cumulative.  Generally, 6 to 10 treatments scheduled 7 to 14 days apart is recommended when addressing concerns, but will vary depending on the individual.
