Visiting a med spa for the first time is exciting — but if you’re not sure how to prepare, you’re not alone. Whether you’re coming in for Botox, a facial, or laser treatment, a little prep goes a long way in making sure you get the best results.
Here’s everything you need to know before your first appointment at Dream Spa Medical.
✅ 1. Know Your Goals
Before your appointment, ask yourself:
-
What concerns are you hoping to treat?
-
Are you prepping for a specific event or long-term change?
-
What’s your comfort level with downtime or ongoing maintenance?
Your answers will help your provider build a treatment plan that’s customized and realistic for you.

💬 2. Come Ready to Talk Health + History
Bring a list of:
-
Current skincare products
-
Any medications or supplements you take
-
Allergies or past reactions to treatments
This helps us ensure that every service we recommend is safe and effective for your skin and body.
🧴 3. Avoid Certain Products Before Your Visit
To prevent irritation, we recommend avoiding the following 3–5 days before treatments like facials, microneedling, or laser:
-
Retinoids (Retin-A, Tretinoin)
-
Exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs)
-
Harsh scrubs or peels
If you’re getting Botox or filler, also avoid:
-
Alcohol
-
NSAIDs like Advil or aspirin (they increase bruising risk)
