The doctor would have also given you some safety tips to follow before you take up the laser skin treatment in Bangalore.

So, it is very important that you carefully follow the before and after treatment care instructions that the dermatologist suggested.

 Here are some of the things that you need to do before you go for the laser treatment for skin in Bangalore.

 Consultation with the dermatologist

This is the first step in any skin treatment program. You need to have a frank and detailed consultation with your dermatologist. It should not be a one-way talk where the dermatologist simply instructs you. In case, you have any doubts or queries about the procedure, you need to ask the dermatologist to tell you in detail about the procedure and explain the process. If you have any allergic reactions to any kind of medicine or chemicals, you need to inform your dermatologist upfront. Also, set a convenient time for appointment as you need to spend days preparing for the treatment and then take rest after the treatment. 

Stay out of the sun

Before you take up the laser skin treatment in Bangalore, you need to stay out of the sun for almost 4 to 6 weeks. This will reduce the concentration of melanin pigment on the skin. If you are a working professional, then you can try to use door-to-door transport or go to work early and come back home after the sun sets. As far as possible, avoid traveling during the day time, even on weekends. 

Stay away from skin-tanning products

Preferably, avoid using bronzing lotions, skin tanners, and other cosmetics that could cause skin tan.

 Minimal use of cosmetics and skin care products

Avoid using moisturizers, creams, and deodorants for a day before you go for the laser skin treatment.
