Following a few basic precautions can help prepare your skin for treatment. Your provider may recommend these steps:
● Avoid tanning and protect your skin from sun exposure.
● Stop waxing, plucking, and electrolysis for the recommended period before treatment.
● Shave the treatment area as instructed, often shortly before your session.
● Discuss medications, skin conditions, and previous cosmetic treatments.
● Ask about session frequency, pricing, expected results, and potential side effects.
During treatment, you may feel a brief snapping sensation or warmth. Temporary redness and swelling can occur afterward. Follow your provider's aftercare instructions, including sun protection, and report severe pain, blistering, or unexpected skin changes promptly.
