Hydration Guidelines:

Living in the Sonoran Desert demands vigilant attention to hydration all the time.

• Dehydration is a common risk in our arid environment.
• The quality of your outcome relies heavily on well-hydrated skin.
• Dehydrated skin tends to be limp and resistant, hindering optimal results.
• To mitigate this, it's essential to consume ample fluids such as water, juice, milk, or other hydrating beverages for the entire 48 hours before your appointment.
• Conversely, avoid dehydrating substances like pre-workout supplements, acne treatments, alcohol, and caffeine during this period.
• Additionally, consult your doctor about refraining from medications with diuretic effects leading up to your appointment.
