• Must not have new permanent makeup or injectables on or near the treatment area.  Avoid Botox/Dysport injections 14 days prior to treatment. Filler should be avoided 2-4 weeks prior to Fractora. Both can be injected 48 hours post Fractora treatment.
• Please ensure you have allowed adequate time (at least 2 weeks) for any permanent make up or injectables to heal prior to Fractora.
• Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more daily. Sun burnt skin cannot be treated. 
• Skin that is thin, sensitized or compromised in any way may not be treated until fully healed.  
• Sun exposure and or use of tanning beds, including self tanning products must be avoided 7-10 days before and after the treatment.  
• Avoid any irritating skin care ingredients, such as any products containing Hydroquinone bleaching cream, Retin A, Retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic/salicylic acids or astringents for at least 3-4 days prior to treatment.  
• Please advise your technician if you are currently using any prescription creams or products.  
• Do not tweeze or wax the area one week prior to the treatment. This can cause irritation and burns to the skin.  
• If you have any open cuts, wounds, abrasions or cold sore breakouts, we can not perform the procedure and it will need to be rescheduled. 
• You may be asked to get a prescription for antiviral medication prophylaxis 3-4 days prior to treatment if you have a history of Herpes Simplex (Cold sores) to avoid a breakout post treatment.

• Immediately after treatment, most patients will experience a mild to moderate sunburnt sensation in the treated area for 1-3 days. Skin may crust or peel for 2-7 days.
• Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and self tanning lotions for at least 72 hours to avoid hyperpigmentation. Use daily SPF of at least 30 after 24 hours if leaving the house.  Do not go outside without sun protection even on a cloudy day.  
• Avoid strenuous exercise or excessive perspiration, as excess blood flow and sweat can cause discomfort and irritation to compromised skin. This includes saunas and hot water until redness is gone.  
• No swimming for 24 hours post treatment.  
• Do not tweeze or wax the treated area at least one week after your treatment.  
• You may apply makeup 12-24 hrs after treatment. Mineral makeup is optimal. If using makeup brushes make sure they are clean.  
• Cold compress may be applied for comfort.  
• No scratching or rubbing the skin as this can create scarring.  
• Avoid anti-inflammatory medications unless prescribed by your physician, as they can interfere with the healing process.  
• Drink plenty of water
