PRE TREATMENT:
Please refrain from any chemical exfoliators (glycolic acid, salicylic acid, retinols, retinoids) a few days prior to treatment.
Please refrain from any blood thinning medications (like aspirin) and alcohol consumption 48 hours prior.
Slight swelling can occur due to your bodies histamine response. You may choose to take an anti-histamine (Claritin, Zyrtec) an hour prior to treatment to minimize potential swelling.
