Please refrain from the use of any artificial tanning products and products that contain high levels of acids and/ or Retin-A as these thin the skin. It is most important to make sure that the treatment area is not exposed to the sun for 2 weeks prior to treatment. This includes tanning beds, self-tanners and any pigment enhancing process for the skin. Sun exposure will make the skin sensitive to absorbing the treatment light more easily, which increases risk for potential side effects. Daily use of sunblock with SPF30 or higher will assist in reducing sun exposure but will not do enough if you are regularly outside. If your skin is too tan at the time of treatment, or if you had recent exposure to the sun (ie: watching a soccer game, baseball game, hiking etc.), our physician will delay your  laser face & skin tightening treatment to a later date to reduce risk of side effects.

Utilizing good skin care products will further your results. Additionally, avoid significant sun exposure for two weeks following each treatment as you will be more sun sensitive and could compromise the results of the treatment. We recommend and SPF30 or higher if you need to be outdoors for any length of time.
