Highline Aesthetics

How to Prepare for your Laser Treatment

Pre-Laser Treatment Instructions

Avoid self-tanning/bronzers, sun exposure, tanning beds, hair chemical services, creams that dye skin for a minimum of 2 weeks prior, during and after the course of treatmen

Discontinue use of topical applications such as Retin-A, Accutane, Hydroquinone, retinol products and PHOTOSENSITIZING medications and any other treatments that can increase photosensitivity (at least 7 days prior to your treatment). 

Clients using ANTICOAGULANTS aka blood thinners should consult with your Highline provider as well as your doctor.

If you have or had cold sores or genital herpes, start taking antiviral two days prior to treatment and three days following to decrease outbreak risk.

DO NOT have treatment over tattoos (may scar/fade)

DO NOT have this done if you are pregnant.

Please arrive with a clean face.

Specific to laser hair removal:

DO NOT USE any other hair removal methods or products on the treated area during the course of treatment, as it will prevent you from achieving your best results; refrain from tweezing, plucking, bleaching, depilatories (Nair) or waxing for two weeks prior each treatment. Shave area 2-12 hours PRIOR to your appointment with a NEW razor or electric clippers.
