Pre-Care for Scar and Stretch Mark Camouflage:

Consultation:

  • Share any medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking.

Medical Clearance:

  • Obtain medical clearance from your physician if you have underlying health issues or are pregnant, as this may affect the procedure.

Avoid Sun Exposure:

  • Refrain from excessive sun exposure or tanning for at least two weeks before the procedure. Sunburned or tanned skin can lead to complications.

Discontinue Blood Thinners:

  • If you're on blood-thinning medications or supplements, consult your doctor about discontinuing them temporarily to reduce the risk of bleeding during the procedure.

No Alcohol or Caffeine:

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine consumption at least 24 hours prior to the procedure, as they can increase sensitivity and affect healing.

Hydration:
