Pre-Treatment Care for BBL Hero and Moxi Laser

1. Avoid Sun Exposure:

• 2 weeks before treatment, avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds. Tanned or sunburned skin may increase the risk of complications and reduce the effectiveness of the treatments.

2. Discontinue Certain Skincare Products:

• 3-5 days prior, stop using exfoliating products such as retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), as these can make your skin more sensitive.

• Avoid chemical peels or strong exfoliants for at least 1 week before your treatment.

3. Clean, Bare Skin:

• On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. This ensures the best results from both treatments and prevents any interference with the laser energy.

4. Shave the Treatment Area (If Needed):

• If you are getting treatment on an area with hair, shave the treatment area the day before. This helps avoid hair interference during the treatment.

5. Avoid Blood Thinners:

• Discontinue blood-thinning medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and other anti-inflammatory drugs 1 week before the procedure, unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

6. Active Skin Infections:

• If you have any active skin conditions like acne flare-ups, rashes, or infections in the treatment area, let your provider know. These may need to be treated before undergoing laser treatments.

7. No Recent Cosmetic Treatments:

• Avoid other cosmetic procedures like Botox, fillers, or chemical peels for at least 2 weeks before the treatment. This helps minimize skin irritation and complications.

Post-Treatment Care for BBL Hero and Moxi Laser

1. Sun Protection:

• Immediately after treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day, and reapply frequently if exposed to the sun. Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks after treatment.

2. Avoid Heat and Sweat:

• For 24-48 hours after treatment, avoid hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, and intense exercise that causes sweating. Excessive heat can irritate your skin and interfere with the healing process.

3. Don’t Pick or Scrub:

• After the treatment, you may notice darkened spots or pigmentation, especially if treating sunspots or age spots. Do not pick, scrub, or exfoliate these areas. They will naturally flake off in 5-7 days.

4. Moisturize Your Skin:

• Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer to keep your skin smooth and hydrated after the procedure. This will help with any dryness or tightness.

5. Expect Redness and Swelling:

• Some redness and mild swelling may occur, which is normal and should resolve within a few hours

6. Avoid Makeup (24-48 Hours):

• Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after the procedure, particularly if you have sensitive or inflamed skin. If you do wear makeup after that, choose gentle, non-comedogenic products.

7. Keep Skin Hydrated:

• Drink plenty of water to help keep your skin hydrated. Hydration supports the healing process and contributes to the rejuvenation benefits of the treatments.

8. No Picking or Scratching:

• Avoid touching or scratching your skin while it heals. Let any peeling or flaking occur naturally to avoid irritation or scarring
