  • 7 days before your appointment, avoid other cosmetic treatments to prevent your skin from being susceptible to irritation and damage.

  • 7 days before your appointment, avoid smoking and alcohol consumption so the treatment can be more effective and cause less down-time.

  • 3–5 days before your appointment, avoid exfoliating your face with exfoliating cleansers or scrubs including retinoid products (products with tretinoin, adapalene or tazarotene as active ingredients), glycolic and salicylic acid and physical scrubs including Ultrasonic brushes. (Dermaplaning is already an exfoliator.
