Before your GentleMax Pro Plus  Skin Rejuvenation session, it is recommended to follow these guidelines:

1. Consultation: Schedule a consultation with us to discuss your skin concerns, medical history, and treatment goals. We will assess your suitability for the procedure and provide personalized recommendations.

2. Avoid Sun Exposure: Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least two weeks before your session. Excessive sun exposure can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of complications.

3. Avoid Certain Treatments: Avoid using retinoids, exfoliating agents, or other harsh skincare products on the treatment area for seven days before your session. These products can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation.

4. Avoid Caffeine or Stimulants: It is recommended to avoid consuming caffeine or other stimulants before your session. These substances can increase skin sensitivity and make the treatment more uncomfortable.

Avoid sun exposure: Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure for at least a week after the treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and wear a hat when going outdoors.

Avoid heat and friction: Avoid hot baths, saunas, and activities that cause excessive sweating for a couple of days post-treatment. Also, avoid using exfoliating scrubs or abrasive skincare products on the treated area for a week or two.

Moisturize: Keep the treated area moisturized with a gentle, non-irritating moisturizer to help soothe the skin and prevent dryness.

Avoid irritants: Refrain from using products that may irritate your skin, such as perfumes, fragrances, and harsh chemicals, in the treated area for a few days.

Here are some factors that may prevent someone from getting laser treatments:

Pregnancy: Laser treatments are generally not recommended during pregnancy. Although there is no conclusive evidence of harmful effects, the potential risks to the fetus are not well-studied. It's best to postpone treatment until after pregnancy.

Active infections or skin conditions: If you have an active skin infection, such as herpes or a bacterial infection, or a skin condition like eczema or dermatitis in the treatment area, it's advisable to delay laser treatments until the condition has resolved. Treating over an infected or irritated area can further aggravate the condition.

Photosensitivity or light sensitivity: If you have a condition that makes your skin highly sensitive to light or have a known sensitivity to the laser's specific wavelength, you may not be a suitable candidate for treatment. Discussing your condition with a us is important to determine if the treatment can be safely administered.

Recent sunburn or tanned skin: Laser treatments should not be performed on sunburned or recently tanned skin. Sunburned skin is already damaged and sensitive, and laser treatment may cause further irritation and complications. It's recommended to wait until the sunburn has fully healed or the tan has faded before undergoing treatment.

Certain medications and medical conditions: Some medications can increase photosensitivity, making your skin more susceptible to adverse effects from laser treatment. Additionally, certain medical conditions, such as a history of keloid scarring or active cancer, may require special considerations or contraindicate treatment. It's essential to disclose all your medical history and medications to us for a thorough assessment before treatment.

It's crucial to consult with us so we can evaluate your individual circumstances and provide personalized advice regarding whether laser treatment is appropriate for you. We will consider factors such as your skin type, medical history, and any potential contraindications to ensure your safety and optimize treatment results.

IVONNE is pleased to offer patch testing to its clients upon request.

Patch testing could help minimize the possibility of any adverse reaction to a treatment. It is best to request a patch test if:

• You are receiving a new treatment for the first time;
• You are receiving treatment on a new area of the body; or
• The laser device has undergone service, maintenance, or replacement since your last treatment.
• The equipment in your treatment experiences a replacement, maintenance, or service, or the manufacturer or supplier’s training undertaken by the laser technician performing the treatment specifically instructs that a skin patch test is required.

Patch testing should be requested BEFORE committing to scheduling a treatment appointment.
