Preparing for treatment
Candidacy review
Absolute contraindications, relative contraindications, and precautions are reviewed before treatment. The full list is on Patient Resources.
Before your session
Avoid sun and tanning for 2–4 weeks, stop retinoids and exfoliants 5–7 days prior, hydrate for 24–48 hours, and arrive with clean skin.
Hair & jewelry
Shave hair-bearing areas within the treatment zone 1–2 days prior; all jewelry should be removed prior to treatment.
After your session
Mild redness and swelling may persist for 1–3 days. Do not apply ice, moisturize daily, and wear broad-spectrum SPF 50+ throughout the series.
Absolute Contraindications
Active Implanted Electronic Devices:
Patients with cardiac pacemakers, internal defibrillators (ICDs), deep brain stimulators, or any active implanted electronic monitoring equipment.
Metal Implants in the Treatment Zone:
Permanent metallic implants, metal plates, screws, surgical clips, or gold/metallic thread lifts directly within or adjacent to the target treatment area.
Pregnancy & Nursing:

Relative Contraindications
Active Infections or Skin Conditions:
Open wounds, active herpes simplex outbreaks (cold sores), severe inflammatory acne, psoriasis, eczema, or active localized skin infections in the treatment pathway.
Impaired Healing / Systemic Illness:
Uncontrolled diabetes, active systemic autoimmune disorders (e.g., lupus, scleroderma), or severe immunosuppression that compromises normal tissue repair.
Recent Systemic Isotretinoin Use:
Treatment with oral isotretinoin (e.g., Accutane) within the past 6–12 months, as it impairs dermal wound healing and increases scarring risk.
