Treatment Guidelines

• Schedule your appointment at least two weeks before a special event. Redness, swelling and pigmentation may be apparent in that time period.
• Let your provider know if you have a history of cold sores. An antiviral may be prescribed.
• You may not have an active rash in the area being treated.
• Discontinue any photo-sensitizing medications or drugs (i.e. doxycycline, minocycline) at least 72 hours before treatment.
• You’ll need to avoid Accutane for six months prior to treatment.
• You’ll need to avoid sun tanning, tanning beds and self-tanners for two weeks before treatment.
• You’ll need to avoid waxing for one week before treatment.
• If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, we require clearance from your OB-GYN.

• Redness, swelling and sensitivity might be present and can last up to a few days.
• Sleep face-up and slightly elevated to help with swelling.
• Taking an oral antihistamine may also help reduce swelling.
• Do not pick or scratch at treated skin.
• Avoid sun tanning and prolonged exposure to direct sunlight for two weeks after treatment.
• Avoid heat (i.e., saunas, hot tubs) for 1-2 days.
• You may restart your regular skin care routine immediately after. Wait 24 hours before using retinol and chemical or physical exfoliants.
• If exposed to the sun, always use broad spectrum SPF 30+ and reapply every two hours.
• Treated pigment will turn darker (brown to black) within 24-48 hours. This will exfoliate off the face within about one week and off the body within about 2-3 weeks.
• Treated vascular lesions may have a “bug bite” appearance and usually resolve in one to two days.
• A series of BBL photofacials is recommended for best results — every 3-4 weeks for redness and pigment, and bi-weekly for acne.

• Schedule your appointment at least two weeks before a special event. This gives potential redness, swelling and bruising time to subside and allows your injections to fully set in.
• To minimize bruising or bleeding, we recommend discontinuing the use of aspirin, NSAIDS, gingko biloba, garlic, ginseng, St. John’s Wort, flax oil, cod liver oil, vitamin A, vitamin E or any other essential fatty acids at least three days to one week before and after treatment. Talk to your primary physician before discontinuing any medications.
