Pre Care
No sunbathing for 3-4 weeks prior to treatment.
Do not pluck, bleach or use depilatory creams prior to treatment. However,
please shave the area to be treated one day prior to appointment.
If having bikini-line treated please wear white g-string and shave
preferred area to be treated.
Please arrive one hour prior to appointment if you are having anesthetic
cream (emla)
Post Care
You may experience mild sunburn like sensation to the
treated area that will subside within 24 hours. The use of
a cool compress can aid in alleviating any discomfort.
Avoid hot showers or spa baths for 24 hours following your treatment
to avoid any irritation to the area.
Avoid exercise such as jogging for 24 hours following your treatment
as perspiration may irritate the area.
Some redness, minor swelling or in rare cases blistering, may persist
for 3-4 days after treatment. This usually resolves without
intervention but you must be careful not irritate the area in any way.
It is preferable that you DO NOT SUNBAKE throughout the course of your
treatments, as this makes your skin more susceptible to irritation
or burn. Ensure you use a high protection sunscreen and reapply regularly.
Do not wax, tweeze or use electrolysis throughout the course of your
treatments. It is important for the hair to be at the skin
surface for the treatment to be effective.
Ejection is the process whereby treated, intact hair shafts are moved
out and released from the base of the follicle. These hairs
are not growing but simply ‘clearing out’ in the first 10 to 14 days.
The timing between visits should be 6-8 weeks depending upon body area
so that the largest number of hairs are in growth phase, thereby
ensuring a more effective treatment. Please ensure that maximum regrowth
has occurred
before proceeding with your next treatment.
Not every patient responds in exactly the same way, but these guidelines
