Preparing for Your Treatment

[streetdoctor]

You should be given a pre-operative information packet that explains everything you should do and know before your procedure date. This may include cessation of certain medications as explained above, skin preparation with topicals such as Retin A or hydroquinone, or a change in diet.

Your preparation depends largely upon your chosen procedure, doctor's protocol and your skin's tolerance. Please discuss your preparation methods with your doctor and adhere to his or her instructions.

That's true. It's very important to follow the directions, or else you may unwittingly cause complications.
