Pre-Treatment & Planning Guide

Pre-Treatment Care for NOUVADerm Scalp Laser Treatment

✅ Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning for four weeks before your appointment.
✅ One week prior, speak with your physician or Dr. David before stopping any prescription medications, and strictly avoid alcohol, blood-thinning supplements, and hair dyes.
✅ Stop all scalp serums three days prior.
✅ Wash your hair the morning of your visit with a basic shampoo, and arrive with a scalp free of dry shampoos, hairsprays, or styling gels.
✅ Plan for three to ten days of clinical and social downtime, including keeping your scalp completely dry for the first three days.
✅ Light, sand-like flaking will develop along the treated area — your hair might look slightly messy, but you can step right back into public immediately.

Before arriving for your NOUVADerm scalp laser treatment, your preparation is vital. Avoid direct sun exposure for four weeks before your appointment. One week prior, speak with your physician or Dr. David before stopping any prescription medications. Strictly avoid alcohol, blood-thinning supplements, and hair dyes to minimize irritation. Stop all scalp serums three days prior, and wash your hair the morning of your visit with a basic shampoo. Plan for a clinical and social downtime of three to ten days, which includes keeping your scalp completely dry for the first three days to ensure optimal healing.
