Avoid Accutane (or isotretinoin products) for 6 months prior. Let your doctor know if you have a history of hyperpigmentation.  \nIf you have a history of fever blisters, notify Dr. Darst. We will write you a prescription for a prophylactic antiviral therapy to start on the day of the treatment to prevent a flare up of cold sores. If you have a current prescription, Valtrex 500mg should be taken by mouth twice daily on the day before, the day of, and the day after your treatment.  \nYou must notify the technician if you have had any cosmetic tattooing on or near the area to be treated.  \nPhotosensitizing medications including doxycycline and minocycline should be discontinued three days prior to the treatment.  \nAnticipate a social “down-time” of 2-5 days before any redness, swelling and sloughing of the sunspots has subsided.  \nOn the day of your appointment:  \nCome to your appointment with a clean face-remove all makeup if area to be treated is the face. If applicable, dress so that you may modestly expose the treatment area.  \n11301 Golf Links Drive North Suite 203 Charlotte NC 28277 T: 704.321. DERM (3376) F: 704.541.6588  \n[www.darstderm.com](www.darstderm.com)  \nPost Treatment Instructions:  \nYou may have a mild sunburn (burning) sensation following the treatment that is usually gone within a few hours. Skin redness is normal and may last a few days. There may be a slight amount of swelling. Crusting or blistering is uncommon and not serious. Pigmented areas may begin to flake after a few days.  \nCold compresses may be useful for the first 24 hours.  \nYour skin will be fragile for 2-3 days. Use gentle cleansers (we recommend Epionce Gentle Foaming Cleanser), do not rub the skin and avoid hot water during this time. Do not use your Clarisonic or a loofah for one week.  \nDo not use any retinoids, tretinoins, alpha or beta hydroxy products, vitamin C products, scrub, exfoliate, or have chemical peels performed on the areas treated area for one week.  \nWe recommend Epionce Medical Barrier Cream moisturizer. Makeup can be applied immediately (if the skin is not broken) we recommend mineral based makeup-such as Jane Iredale.  \nAvoid the sun and use sun block. We recommend Epionce Ultra Shield SPF 50 and EltaMD Physical Sunblock. Avoid excessive heat or friction to the treated area (heavy exercise, saunas) .  \nSun spots and age spots will DARKEN with the IPL treatments BEOFRE they begin to respond and resolve. This is expected and a normal part of the IPL process. Do not pick these spots once they become dry. They will lift and fall off on their own.  \nPlease contact us as soon as possible if you experience any blistering or increase pain. Contact us if you are concerned about infection.
