Before undergoing a laser treatment, proper preparation is crucial to ensure optimal results and minimize potential complications. At Cali Laser Center, under the direction of Dr. Fernando Motta Mafla, an expert in aesthetic and laser medicine, we adopt a comprehensive approach to ensure every patient gains the maximum benefits from their procedure.
Why Is Preparation Important for a Laser Treatment?
Prior preparation reduces the risk of side effects, optimizes results, and enhances the procedure’s effectiveness. It also primes the skin for treatment, boosting cellular regeneration and post-treatment healing.
Key Benefits of Prior Preparation:
- Reduced Sensitivity: Decreases the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
- Increased Effectiveness: Enhances laser penetration into the skin.
- Prevention of Complications: Minimizes the risk of infections and adverse reactions.
Essential Recommendations Before Laser Treatment
1. Avoid Sun Exposure
- Why: Tanned or sun-exposed skin can be more sensitive to the laser, increasing the risk of burns and uneven pigmentation.
- Recommendation: Use broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 50+) and avoid direct sunlight for at least two weeks before the treatment.
2. Discontinue Certain Products and Treatments
- Why: Products with active ingredients like retinoids or exfoliating acids can irritate the skin and heighten laser sensitivity.
- Recommendation: Consult your doctor about discontinuing these products one week before the procedure.
3. Keep Skin Clean and Makeup-Free
- Why: Makeup or cream residues can interfere with laser application and cause irritation.
- Recommendation: Thoroughly cleanse your skin on the treatment day and avoid using cosmetic products.
4. Proper Hydration
- Why: Well-hydrated skin responds better to treatment and recovers more quickly.
- Recommendation: Ensure you drink plenty of water and use moisturizing creams in the days leading up to the procedure.
5. Inform the Specialist About Medications and Health Conditions
- Why: Certain medications and medical conditions can affect the treatment’s safety and effectiveness.
- Recommendation: Provide a complete medical history during your initial consultation.
