Preparing for Your Appointment or Skin Check

  • Do not apply makeup, moisturizer, or other skin products
  • Do not apply hair products and come with your hair loose if possible
  • Bring to your appointment:
  • Valid Government Issued Photo ID
  • Insurance Card(s)
  • Current Medication List
  • Name and phone number of your primary care physician

If you’re having a procedure in the office, it’s okay to eat breakfast and take your medications as usual. If you need to pre-medicate before surgery, you may do so one hour before coming into the office. You can find more information on our page of Pre-Operative Concerns
