Preparing for Your MOXI Laser Treatment? Here’s What to Avoid Before Your Appointment! 🚫
If you have a MOXI laser treatment scheduled, proper skin preparation is crucial for achieving the best results and minimizing side effects. To ensure you get the most out of your session, here are the key things to avoid before your laser appointment:
DON'T tan or use self-tanners: Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least two weeks prior to your treatment. Tanned skin increases the risk of burns and hyperpigmentation.
SKIP harsh skincare products: Stop using retinoids, exfoliants (like glycolic or salicylic acid), and any irritating or active skincare ingredients at least three to five days before your treatment, unless otherwise instructed.
AVOID waxing or chemical peels: These treatments can irritate the skin, so they should be avoided for one to two weeks leading up to your MOXI session.
HOLD off on Botox or fillers: Avoid getting any injectables in the treatment area at least one to two weeks before your laser session to reduce the risk of irritation or adverse effects.
DON'T arrive with makeup or lotions: Arrive at your appointment with clean, product-free skin. Makeup, lotions, or sunscreen must be removed before treatment, as they can interfere with the laser.
PRO TIP: Always follow the pre-treatment instructions provided by your provider. MOXI is a gentle yet effective fractional laser that enhances skin texture, tone, and radiance. Proper preparation is essential for a safe and successful outcome.
