At Medical Grade Aesthetics, we value patient education, as you should always make informed decisions about your care. We provide patients with everything they need to know before, during, and after their treatments so they can be confident and comfortable every step of the way.
If you are interested in CO2 laser resurfacing near Janesville, or have an appointment coming up, here’s a quick guide discussing how you can best prepare. We recommend following these simple instructions to optimize your results.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
As you should always strive to stay hydrated, drink the recommended amount of water in the days leading up to your CO2 laser resurfacing appointment. Water helps retain a strong skin barrier to protect your skin. For men, aim to drink 15.5 cups of water every day, and for women, aim to drink around 11.5 cups to stay adequately hydrated.
Keep Your Skin Protected From the Sun
While we recommend limiting your sun exposure, we understand that it can be difficult for those living busy lives. So, we recommend wearing a high-quality, full-spectrum sunscreen that’s at least SPF 50 to protect from the sun’s rays and minimize the risk of sun damage.
Prepare for Downtime
Depending on which ablative CO2 laser we decide best meets your goals, you might have significant downtime after your treatment. With the Deka CO2 laser, many patients experience a week of downtime at a minimum. During this time, you must stay out of the sun, hydrate, and properly care for your skin.
With the help of our professionals, we can guide you towards gentle cleansers, hydrating moisturizers, and soothing products that will help your skin heal after CO2 laser resurfacing near Janesville.
