Precautions Before and After Dermatology Procedures! Must-Read for Beginners lol

I thought I’d share some of the trial and error(?) I went through for those visiting a dermatologist for the first time, haha. At first, I also thought that just paying the money would give me celebrity-like skin, lol. But I found that pre- and post-procedure care is just as important as the procedure itself.

First of all, you absolutely must avoid harsh exfoliation the day before the procedure! I didn't know that and scrubbed my face to make it look clean, but my skin became so sensitive during the treatment that I really suffered. Also, on the day of the procedure, it is best to go without makeup if possible. They will cleanse your face anyway, but it is better to minimize irritation as much as possible.

The most important thing is post-procedure care! Especially for those who received laser treatments, you know sunscreen is absolutely essential, right? I heard you have to apply it even when you're indoors. Also, you absolutely must refrain from alcohol, smoking, and saunas for about a week. I once went to a sauna because I was too lazy, and my face turned bright red, causing me a lot of trouble for a while. Since we're spending a lot of money on this treatment, let's take good care of ourselves to get flawless skin so it's worth every penny.
