What to do before your Intense Pulse Treatment appointment

 
Preparing properly for your Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment helps ensure optimal results and reduces the risk of complications. Follow these essential steps before your appointment:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning Beds

It is imperative that you avoid significant sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 4 weeks prior to your treatment.

2. Avoid Self-Tanner

Do not apply any self-tanning products to the treatment area for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.

3. Stop Taking Aspirin and Ibuprofen

Avoid these medications for one week before your appointment. Let your doctor know if you are taking blood thinners or regularly take aspirin or ibuprofen.

4. Avoid Alcohol

Refrain from drinking alcohol for at least 2 days prior to your IPL session to reduce sensitivity and bruising risk.

5. Inform Your Provider About Accutane

If you’ve taken Accutane in the last year, inform your doctor, as this may affect your eligibility or treatment timing. Following these steps ensures your skin is in its best condition for safe and effective IPL results. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to contact Revive Beauty Bar before your appointment!
