Before procedure instructions:

• Discontinue use of any anti-aging products that contain retinol at least 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

• Chemical, laser peels or Retin-A should not be utilized 6 weeks before the procedure.

• Discontinue use of Vitamin A or Fish Oil supplements about 2 weeks prior to your appointment.

• AHA preparations should be undergone no less than 2 weeks before the treatment.

• Electrolysis treatment should be undergone no less that 5 days before the treatment.

• Please do not drink alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment.

• No aspirin or ibuprofen or anything containing aspirin at least 72 hours prior to your appointment.

• Please do not drink caffeine the morning or day of your appointment.

• No botox 2 weeks before or after

• Make sure face isn’t burnt or peeling

• Should not be on antibiotics during the time of appointment

• Avoid exercise right before appointment! Exercising increases blood flow and will cause excessive bleeding, leading to poor healed results.

Wait to schedule your freckle appointment if:

• You are pregnant or breastfeeding (No Exceptions)

• You are currently using any acne medication (for example, Retin-A or Accutane)

• Undergoing Chemo or another major health therapy as certain meds may affect healing/results (I recommend discussing this procedure with your doctor as some will give the OK depending on your situation. I will need a permission note from the doctor)

• Diabetic (Doctor’s note required)

• Are on prescribed blood thinners or prescribed an aspirin once a day (Would need a note from your Doctor saying you’re OK to go off the blood thinners or aspirin 7 days before each session)

• Exceptions can be made if a legitimate Doctor’s note is provided.

• Those with serious heart disorders, blood infections, HIV, Hepatitis or liver disease are not candidates for this procedure.

While healing:

An allergic reaction can occur from any anesthetics used during the procedure. Although this is rare, if you do suffer from an allergic reaction, you should contact your doctor immediately. Allergic reaction response may show through redness, swelling, rash, blistering, dryness or any other symptoms associated with an allergic reaction.

• You might find that your freckles will scab or become slightly dry following your appointment. If they itch, it’s very important that you do not scratch them. To relieve the itch, just tap them with your finger.

• If your face gets wet during the healing process, pat them dry with a towel. It’s very important that you do not rub them.

• Avoid excessive sun exposure as this can affect the healing process as well as cause the pigment to fade.

Please let me know if your allergic to nickel, or anesthetic. If your sensitive to cosmetics. If you use any retain A. If you are prolonged to bleeding. If your prone to keloid scarring. If you have low or high blood pressure or if you have healing problems.
