Pre-procedure skincare should help promote healthy skin. Healthy skin can heal better, meaning before a procedure you want your skin functioning as optimally as possible. This can include gentle exfoliation to slough off dead skin cells, allowing procedures to reach healthy skin below, deep hydration to maintain the skin’s barrier, and melanin inhibitors or retinol to increase cellular turnover. Please check with your skincare professional before introducing new products before a procedure. 

The most important thing to remember when choosing pre-procedure skincare is that you want your skin to be as healthy as possible before your appointment. Taking proper care of your skin before and after a procedure can help minimize downtime and optimize results.
