Two Weeks Before Appointment

No Botox or fillers on or near treatment area 2 weeks before service. You may receive injections 2 weeks after your procedure.

If you are taking antibiotics, you must be off of them 2 weeks before your scheduled appointment. If you will not be off of them before your appointment date, please contact us to reschedule.

Avoid tanning your face 2 weeks prior to appointment (if you show up sunburned, or with skin peeling, you will be rescheduled, and will need to pay a new deposit fee).

1 Week Before Appointment

Stop using any retinol/a and vitamin a creams/serums 1 week prior to your appointment date.

If you have ever had a cold sore on your lips at any point in your lifetime you can get a prescription with your doctor for an antiviral medication and begin taking it 4 days before your appointment. This is not necessary. If you do not take the antivirals we will just not microchannel your lips. Microchanneling on the lips is great for plumping and smoothing out the fine lines.
