Thank you for choosing The Palm Medspa + Wellness for your treatment. To help you achieve the best results and minimize risks, we’ve outlined important pre-care and post-care instructions for BBL SkinTyte.
Every treatment is unique, and your provider may give you additional personalized recommendations. Please review the guidelines carefully before and after your appointment. Following these instructions will:
Enhance the effectiveness of your treatment
Support your body’s natural healing process
Reduce the likelihood of complications or side effects
If you have any questions before or after your treatment, or if you experience anything unexpected, please don’t hesitate to contact our office. Your safety, comfort, and results are our top priorities.
Preparing properly before your BBL SkinTyte treatment helps protect your skin, reduce side effects, and ensure you get the best results. Please follow these guidelines carefully:
2 weeks prior to your appointment
Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and spray tans, as they can increase your risk of burns, irritation, or uneven pigmentation. Protect your skin daily with a broad-spectrum SPF.
Refrain from waxing or threading the treatment area, since these can make your skin more sensitive before the procedure.
1 week prior to your appointment
Stop using topical retinoids and exfoliants for at least 7 days. These products can thin the skin’s surface and make it more prone to irritation during treatment.
3-5 days prior to your appointment
Discontinue use of ibuprofen, Motrin, Advil, fish oil, and other blood-thinning supplements or medications (unless prescribed by your doctor). These can increase your risk of bruising.
1-2 days prior to your appointment
Shave the treatment area to allow the device to work effectively on the skin’s surface. Do not wax or pluck, as these methods can disrupt hair follicles and skin integrity.
Day of appointment
Arrive with fresh, clean skin in the treatment area. Avoid applying lotions, creams, deodorants, or makeup so the laser can work directly on your skin.
Caring for your skin after your BBL SkinTyte treatment is just as important as preparing beforehand. Proper after-care helps minimize side effects, protect your skin, and maximize your results. Please follow these guidelines:
Immediately after your appointment
Avoid applying makeup for 8 hours after your procedure to allow your skin to recover and reduce the risk of irritation or clogged pores. When you resume makeup use, apply with only clean sponges or brushes to prevent bacteria from causing breakouts.
For 48 hours after your appointment
Refrain from heavy exercise, strenuous activity, saunas, or hot showers, as heat and sweat can irritate the treated skin and worsen redness or swelling.
Limit alcohol consumption for 2 days after treatment, as it can dilate blood vessels and worsen redness or swelling. Reducing alcohol intake overall can also help your skin maintain firmness and elasticity longer, enhancing your long-term results.
For 2 weeks after your appointment
Do not use topical retinoids, exfoliants, or other harsh products, as they can disrupt your skin’s healing process and cause redness or sensitivity. Avoid picking, scrubbing, or scratching your skin to prevent scarring and pigmentation changes.
Protect your skin from sun exposure for at least 2 weeks. Daily sunscreen use is essential — choose an SPF 30 or higher that contains zinc oxide or titanium dioxide for the best protection. Reapply every 2 hours if outdoors. This step is critical to prevent hyperpigmentation and maintain your results.
