Preparation for laser started long ago. The 24 to 48 hours in the lead-up adds the extra cushioning.
What matters. Hydration from both sides · water through the day, a hydrating mask the night before. For the more invasive treatments, where we are working at the dermal-epidermal junction, the mask is foundation, not optional. And sleep · skin that has slept lands the work better than skin that has not.
What to skip. Sun. Excess heat on the skin (now is not the time for hiking). The day before is not the day for the beach, the boat, the garden without a hat. Burned or freshly tanned skin changes what we can safely do on the table. If you have been outside, tell us when you arrive.
