Pre and Post Treatment Guidelines
Pre-treatment
- The skin must be clean and dry.
- Direct sun exposure and tanning MUST be avoided for one to two weeks prior to treatment.
Post-treatment
- A cool compress can be applied to the treatment area to provide comfort.
- Must use a sunblock with at least SPF 30 or more to protect the treated area.
- Avoid exercising or strenuous activity for three to five days to prevent "flushing".
- Avoid certain environments, such as hot showers, steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, etc., for several days following treatment.
- Limit or forego the intake of alcoholic beverages for several days following treatment, as alcohol consumption can cause vasodilation.
- Use if possible a compression or support for several days following the treatment.
