Before your laser treatment at Lasers In Medicine there are essential guidelines to ensure your safety and
optimise the effectiveness of the procedure. Please adhere to the following do’s and don’ts before your
appointment:

Do’s:
– Disclose Any Previous Injectables: Inform our staff about any injectables, such as Botox and Fillers,
you’ve had within the last 3 months.
– Inform About Tattooed Makeup: Let us know if you have tattooed makeup, e.g. lip, eyebrow, or
eyeliner tattoos.

antibiotics, recent or planned procedures, treatments or surgeries, inform us beforehand.
– Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Disclose if you are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding.
– Comfortable Clothing: Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment for ease during the procedure.
– Follow Pre-Treatment Guidelines: If instructed, stop taking fish oil and using retinol products 7 days prior to your
