How do you prepare for first laser treatment?
How do you prepare for first laser treatment? The optimal time for a laser treatment is in the fall or winter when our skin hasn't been exposed to an abundance of vitamin D from the sun. As Erickson explains, the laser isn't as effective with a tan as it is when your skin is its natural tone. Also, if the laser you choose requires a recovery time, being away from potentially harmful UV rays when your skin is sensitive post-treatment will ensure your health. Before you have your first treatment, Erickson recommends using a retinol to prepare your pores, revving up the rejuvenation of your cells. Her go-to product is Alastin Regenerating Skin Nectar with TriHex Technology. "This product clears the extracellular matrix of any unwanted or damaged skin cells while making more room for the new skin cells to grow and develop," she says. You should use this at least two weeks prior for optimal results.
