Pre-Treatment Instructions for IPL Treatment

To ensure a safe and effective IPL session, please follow these guidelines:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun for at least 2-4 weeks before treatment. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily.
2. No Tanning: Avoid tanning beds, spray tans, and self-tanners for at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
3. Avoid Photosensitizing Products: Stop using products with retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, or Vitamin C for at least 5-7 days before treatment.
4. Shave the Area: If treating body areas, shave 24 hours prior to the session. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for 4 weeks beforehand.
5. No Antibiotics: Inform us if you are taking antibiotics or medications that cause photosensitivity, as these may need to be discontinued.
6. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water leading up to your session.
7. Avoid Perfumes or Deodorants: On the day of treatment, keep the treatment area free of perfumes, lotions, and deodorants.
8. Medical Conditions: Inform us of any health conditions, medications, or active infections (e.g., cold sores) in the treatment area.
