General facial instructions
General facial instructions for you to know before and after your appointment.
What Should I Do Before a Facial?
If you are taking Accutane products, be sure to stop using them at least six months before your session and tell your esthetician about any other prescription drugs you might be taking. In addition, do not use any topical products that might cause sensitivity to the skin in the week before your micro-needling treatment. Some examples are retinoids, acids, exfoliants, or even topical antibiotics. Avoid unprotected sun exposure, tanning or sunburn, as well as IPL and other medical or laser therapies two weeks before your session.
