QWhat should I know before a procedure?

For every procedure, suitability and method depend on your skin condition, medical history and any medication you take. Reactions such as redness, swelling, pain or pigmentation may occur after treatment, and the degree differs by individual. Please tell the doctor your medical history and current medication, and go ahead only after you have received the aftercare guidance.
