Very little preparation is required on your part. You do not need to fast or alter your routine before appointments. In fact, you can eat and take your normal medications as usual because there’s no anesthesia involved. We simply ask that the treatment area be clean – you might avoid applying any lotions, creams, or makeup on or near the lesion on treatment days, as ultrasound works best on clean skin. Wear comfortable clothing; depending on the location of the skin cancer, you may need to remove or adjust clothing to expose the area (for example, if it’s on your back or thigh, maybe wear separates that are easy to manage). It’s also a good idea to plan for sun protection – if the area is on your face, you might bring a hat for after, since we want to keep it out of sun. But other than that, no intensive preparation. There is no need for sedation or any special arrangements – you can drive yourself and resume activities right after. Essentially, come in well-rested, having had a light meal if you want, and that’s it. IG-SRT days can be just regular days for you.
