To ensure optimal results and safety, follow these steps before your treatment:
- Avoid blood thinners (aspirin, ibuprofen) for at least 7 days.
- Stay away from retinoic acid for 1 week prior.
- Avoid alcohol and sun exposure.
- For a history of cold sores, start acyclovir the day before or on the day of the procedure.
- Refrain from microneedling if you’ve had recent sunburn or active infections in the treatment area.
