How to Prepare for Treatment
Proper preparation helps ensure safe treatment and the best possible results.
Why Preparation Matters
Preparing the skin before treatment supports better healing and more consistent results.
Following simple guidelines helps reduce sensitivity and allows the skin to respond effectively.
