Whether you’re coming in for Botox, dermal fillers, laser skin resurfacing, PRP treatments, or Semaglutide weight loss, understanding the right pre- and post-treatment tips can make a significant difference in how you look and feel. If you’re visiting from Alpharetta, Atlanta, Milton, Roswell, Sandy Springs, our team at R & R Aesthetics is ready to help you achieve radiant, renewed skin safely and beautifully.
Why Preparation and Aftercare Matter
Think of your aesthetic journey like planting a beautiful garden: the soil needs to be ready, the seed must be nurtured, and the results flourish with proper care. Pre-treatment prep minimizes the risk of side effects and ensures your skin or body is in an optimal state to respond well to the treatment. Post-treatment care, on the other hand, supports healing, reduces inflammation, and maximizes your results.
Our team at R & R Aesthetics is led by Christina Roach, a seasoned aesthetic provider who values not only results but also education, comfort, and safety for each client. Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for and maintain your favorite treatments.
General Pre-Treatment Tips
1. Avoid Alcohol, Caffeine, and Blood Thinners
At least 24-48 hours before any injectables like Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or dermal fillers, avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E supplements. These can thin your blood and increase the risk of bruising.
2. Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Drink plenty of water and use a gentle, hydrating skincare routine in the days leading up to chemical peels, Pixel 8 RF Microneedling, or PRP Microneedling Facial. Well-hydrated skin responds better to treatments and heals faster.
3. Avoid Retinoids and Harsh Exfoliants
If you’re preparing for laser hair removal, IPL/Erbium resurfacing, or microneedling with exosomes, stop using retinol or exfoliating acids (like glycolic or salicylic acid) about 3-5 days before treatment to prevent irritation.
4. Eat Well and Sleep Well
Before any Semaglutide weight loss consultations or peptide therapy sessions, ensure you’re well-rested and have eaten a balanced meal. Your body needs strength and stability for optimal healing and metabolism.
Treatment-Specific Preparation
Botox & Dermal Fillers (Juvederm®, Restylane, Radiesse, Versa)
- Schedule your appointment at least 1-2 weeks before any major event in case of temporary swelling or bruising.
- Avoid strenuous exercise the day of the treatment.
PRP Hair Restoration & Facial Injections
- Come with clean, product-free skin or scalp.
- Avoid NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) to allow for a stronger platelet response.
Pixel 8 RF Microneedling & Microneedling with Exosomes
- Arrive with bare skin, free of makeup or lotion.
- Avoid sun exposure for at least 72 hours before.
VI Peel & Chemical Peels
- Use a gentle cleanser for a week before treatment.
- Avoid waxing, laser, or tanning beforehand.
Post-Treatment Care: Keep the Glow Going
1. Stay Out of the Sun
Your skin will be more sensitive following procedures like chemical peels, laser resurfacing, or microneedling. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and wear a wide-brimmed hat if spending time outside.
2. Don’t Touch, Pick, or Scratch
After treatments such as PRP microneedling or dermal fillers, it’s natural to feel slight tenderness or notice minor swelling. Resist the urge to touch or pick at your skin to avoid infections or scarring.
3. Skip Makeup for 24-48 Hours
Let your skin breathe after facial treatments like HydroFacial, DiamondGlow, or PRP facials. Applying makeup too soon can clog pores and introduce bacteria.
4. Keep Hydrated and Nourished
Support your body’s healing from inside out. This is especially important if you’re undergoing Semaglutide weight loss programs, pellet therapy, or hormone replacement therapy at R & R Aesthetics. Hydration supports metabolism and overall cellular repair.
5. Follow Your Aftercare Instructions
Every procedure has its own unique recovery process. At R & R Aesthetics, we’ll provide customized, easy-to-follow instructions tailored to your treatment and skin type.
Bonus Tips for Long-Term Results
– Schedule Maintenance Treatments
Many of our services, such as Botox, fillers, or PRP hair restoration, offer the best results when done in a series or on a regular maintenance schedule. Ask our team to create a personalized treatment plan for you.
– Use Medical-Grade Skincare
Support your in-office treatments with high-quality skincare. Christina Roach can recommend serums, moisturizers, and sunblocks that help you maintain your results between visits.
– Consider Combining Treatments
For maximum skin rejuvenation, combine services like VI Peel + PRP Microneedling or Pixel 8 RF + Exosome Therapy. We’ll guide you through the safest and most effective combinations for your goals.
