What Should I Know About Preparing for Excel® V+ Laser Treatment?
Preparation may vary based on individual habits, but here are general guidelines to follow before your laser session:
- Avoid tanning: Refrain from tanning or prolonged sun exposure for at least two weeks before your appointment.
- Medication disclosure: Inform us of any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may increase skin sensitivity.
- Avoid skin treatments: Do not wax, exfoliate, or undergo microdermabrasion, facials, or chemical peels on the treatment area in the weeks leading up to your appointment.
- Discontinue certain products: Stop using Retin-A®, tretinoin, retinols, and Differin® five days before your session.
- Cold sores or fever blisters: Let us know if you have a history of cold sores, as antiviral medication may be recommended if we are treating your face.
- Sun protection: Apply sunscreen daily and take other UV protection measures to support skin health.
What Can I Do on the Day of My Laser Treatment?
To ensure a smooth and successful experience:
- Arrive with a clean face: Ensure your skin is free of makeup, lotions, or other products to minimize irritation.
- Do not shave: Avoid shaving the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
How Does DRS Skincare Prepare My Skin for Treatment?
At DRS Skincare, we take steps to make your treatment as comfortable and effective as possible:
- Eye protection: Both you and our team will wear protective eyewear during the procedure.
- Cooling technology: The Excel® V+ laser features built-in cooling to protect your skin from heat damage and enhance comfort.
Why Is Pre-Treatment Preparation So Important?
Adhering to pre-treatment guidelines helps reduce the risk of side effects, such as photosensitivity or irritation, and ensures a safe, effective, and comfortable experience. Skipping these steps may hinder the healing process or compromise your results.
At DRS Skincare, we prioritize your health, comfort, and satisfaction. If you have any questions or concerns about the preparation process, don’t hesitate to reach out.
