Preparation Makes Perfect: Optimizing Your Skin for Moxi Laser Treatment

At House of Aesthetics, we want your Moxi laser treatment to deliver the best possible results for your skin. Here are key steps to take in the weeks leading up to your appointment:

Sun Protection:

  • Minimize sun exposure: For at least 2 weeks before your treatment, avoid excessive sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily. Sunburn or tanned skin can increase risks and hinder results.
  • Sun protection gear: Wear protective hats and clothing when outdoors to minimize UV exposure.

Skincare Routine:

  • Gentle cleansers and moisturizers: Maintain a consistent skincare routine using gentle cleansers and fragrance-free moisturizers suitable for your skin type.
  • Exfoliation on hold: Discontinue any strong exfoliating products or scrubs for at least 5-7 days before your treatment.

Product Adjustments:

  • Discuss your current products: During your consultation, let us know about all skincare products you currently use. We may recommend temporarily pausing specific products that could increase sun sensitivity or irritate the skin during laser treatment.

Lifestyle Considerations:

  • Hydration is key: Drink plenty of water in the weeks leading up to your appointment. Proper hydration plumps the skin and aids in the healing process after treatment.
  • Avoid blood thinners: If possible, avoid taking blood-thinning medications or supplements like aspirin or fish oil for a week before your treatment (consult your doctor for guidance on safe medication adjustments).

Communication is Key:

  • Open communication: During your consultation, openly discuss any questions or concerns you may have about the Moxi laser treatment or pre-treatment preparation.

Additional Tips:

  • Schedule laser hair removal appointments strategically: If you undergo laser hair removal, ensure it’s done at least 4-6 weeks before your Moxi laser treatment to avoid irritating the skin.
  • Shaving is okay: Shaving the treatment area is perfectly acceptable before your appointment.

By following these preparation steps, you can help ensure your skin is healthy and in optimal condition for a safe and effective Moxi laser treatment at House of Aesthetics. We look forward to helping you achieve your skin goals!
