Before the procedure, you need to have a thorough consultation with Dr. Dragana Spica. She will ask you about your medical history and examine your skin to determine which skin resurfacing procedure will bring you the desired outcomes. She will explain all the details of the procedure and aftercare.
Also, Dr. Spica will advise you to stop taking certain vitamins, supplements and blood-thinning medications like Aspirin.
On the day of your skin resurfacing treatment, Dr. Dragana Spica will go through the details again.
Your treatment area is cleaned and a topical numbing cream is applied to it.
