NCTF Pre-care

We can't wait to welcome you to our clinic. As your appointment approaches, please follow the pre-care instructions below to ensure your skin is fully prepared for your NCTF Treatment.

7-10 days before your appointment 

  • Unless prescribed, avoid taking aspirin or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen. Fish oil, Ginko Biloba, St. John’s Wort and high doses of vitamin E should also be avoided. Regular multi-vitamin and paracetamol are permitted (If not contraindicated).

  • Sunburn skin is difficult to treat so avoid exposure to the sun.

  • Avoid other skin, beauty, aesthetic treatments (examples include eyebrow tinting, waxing, dermaplaning, facials, peels, microneedling, laser) for two weeks prior treatment.
