Before Your Appointment • Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks prior to a special event if you intend on receiving a treatment at your appointment. • Please see specific treatment pages for the treatment you desire and more specific pre- and post-treatment tips. • Arrive to your consultation with a bare face to assist me in assessing your skin properly. If you are unable to come without makeup, you can wash your face upon arriving.
After Your Treatment • I recommend using your skin care routine like you would any prescription medication (i.e. use products as instructed and use at frequency prescribed). • It usually takes 8-12 weeks before significant results are seen due to skin cell turnover rate and the time it takes the skin to build a tolerance to certain active ingredients. • Schedule a follow up appointment in 8-12 weeks to determine if your skin care routine and treatment plan need any adjustments. Chronic skin concerns such as acne, melasma, and rosacea typically recur, and maintenance therapy is an important component of skin health management.
