Welcome to DermaHealth! Thank you for choosing our clinic and trusting us with your skincare. It is our goal to work with you to achieve the best results possible. Call us if you have any questions at any time.

The following instructions will help you achieve the best results from your Photo Rejuvenation treatment. Please take a moment to review this information and go over any questions and/or concerns you may have with your consultant or call the clinic at 417-447-7777 If any questionable or suspicious lesions are noticed during your consultation, it will be recommended that you seek medical attention from your family physician or dermatologist. Please note that permanent hair removal may be a side effect and take this into consideration if you are planning on growing a goatee or beard.

Pre Treatment Instructions:

  • Please reveal any medical conditions that may be of significance to the Photo Rejuvenation procedure—such as pregnancy, cold sore and fever blister tendencies, any type of allergy, recent facial peels or surgery, and all current medications (including both prescriptions and over-the-counter products) such as Accutane, tetracycline, hormone replacement therapy, or use of Retin-A.
  • Do not use self-tanning lotions or tanning booths two weeks prior to your laser treatment. Do not sunbathe two weeks prior to your appointment. Any patient arriving with a tan or sunburn may be rescheduled due to the sensitivity of the procedure to altered skin color and for the sake of your own safety.
  • Do not use any irritating skincare products such as Retin-A, OBAGI, or any face cream supplement that contains Hydroquinone or Glyquin for one week prior to treatment.
  • Please avoid caffeine 24-48 hours prior to your treatment. This will help reduce the skin’s sensitivity. Drink 8-10 glasses of water daily to keep your skin hydrated.

Post Treatment Instructions:

  • Please be advised that you may expect a certain degree of discomfort, redness, and/or irritation during and after treatment. If any discomfort or irritation persists, please notify the clinic at (417)-447-7777.
  • Age spots and freckles may temporarily turn darker, then slough off within 3-7 days. This is the desired effect.
  • There is a possibility of banding following treatment.
  • You may have mild swelling for 1-3 days after your treatment. Please apply an icepack to the irritated area for 1-2 days in approximately 15-minute sessions 3-4 times per day.
  • Redness for 2-3 days is common. You may apply hydrocortisone cream 3-4 times per day to reduce this. Makeup can be applied soon after treatment.
  • If you should develop any open sores, apply over-the-counter antibiotic ointment to those areas 2-3 times daily till healed.
  • Avoid prolonged sun exposure or use of tanning bed for at least two weeks after your treatment, as your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after your Photo Rejuvenation treatment.
  • Ask our staff for recommendations of DermaHealth skincare products to use to enhance your procedure for your skin type.
  • Use a minimum of SPF 30 daily to protect your skin after your treatment.
