Pre-Treatment Instructions for eCO2 3D Laser Treatments

Use a broad–spectrum SPF 30+ daily on the areas of treatment.

For two weeks leading up to your treatment, or as soon as possible, please avoid the following:

• • Direct sun exposure, tanning bed use, spray tanning, or tanning products
  • Retinols, Retinoids, AHAs, topical Vitamin C, or other active topicals
  • Botox or other skin treatments in the treatment area
  • Iron or herbal supplements (e.g., ginkgo, ginseng, garlic, St. John’s Wort)
  • Tetracycline antibiotics (e.g., doxycycline)
  • Anticoagulant medications (e.g., NSAIDs, Eliquis®)
  • Medications that cause photosensitivity (e.g., amiodarone,
    hydrochlorothiazide)
    

If you are treating an area that grows hair, we recommend shaving 1-2 days prior to your appointment. 

If you have a history of cold sores, please let us know as soon as possible, as we may need to prescribe an antiviral prior to your visit.
