Prepping for Your Non-Surgical Appointment: Tips for Better Results

When you’re getting ready for a non-surgical treatment, small steps beforehand can go a long way. 

We want you to feel relaxed heading into your visit to Park Meadows Aesthetics in Lone Tree, Colorado, where our experienced team of licensed providers will help you make the most of your time in the treatment chair. Here are some tips to prepare for your session:

Think Through Your Goals

Before your appointment, take a moment to consider what’s bothering you and what kind of outcome you hope to see. Whether it’s softening lines, evening out your skin tone, or contouring a specific area, having a clear idea helps guide your conversation with your provider. 

You don’t need to have all the answers—that’s what the consultation is for. But coming in with some ideas makes the process easier.

Give Your Skin a Little Extra Care

Small changes to your skincare or habits before treatment can make a big difference. If you’re scheduled for injectables, avoid alcohol, fish oil, or blood-thinning medications (if safe to do so) for at least 24 hours before your appointment to help reduce bruising. 

For skin treatments like microneedling, Morpheus8, or peels, it’s best to avoid sun exposure, self-tanner, and active ingredients like retinol or exfoliants in the days leading up to your appointment.

Plan for a Little Downtime

Most non-surgical treatments involve little to no downtime, but that doesn’t always mean zero side effects. Redness, swelling, or mild sensitivity are common for a day or two, depending on the service. 

It’s a good idea to avoid big events immediately after and give your skin some space to recover, especially for facial treatments or injectables.

What to Bring

It helps to arrive with clean, makeup-free skin so your provider can accurately assess your complexion. If you’re getting body contouring or microneedling, wear something comfortable and easy to change out of or adjust. 

You should also bring your questions and be open to talking about what works best for your goals. It’s important to tell your provider about any medications, allergies, recent procedures, or medical conditions so we can recommend the safest treatment for you. 

Start Your Treatment Plan With Confidence

Every treatment starts with a conversation, and we’re here to guide you through it. Whether you’re trying something new or sticking to your usual routine, preparation helps everything go smoother.
