You MUST avoid bleaching, plucking or waxing hair for 2 weeks prior to treatment. Do not use Depilatory creams 1 week prior to treatment. You must shave my hair prior to my appointment (preferably 24 hours or the morning of your appointment and please ensure you are as close shaved as possible) this is for your comfort. You must continue to shave only and must not wax, epilate or pluck the hair in the weeks between treatment and that waxing and plucking hairs will result in a prolonged treatment plan. You must NOT wear self tan of any description or be tanned in the area to be treated, this may result in you not being treated due to the risk of burning in self tan or tanned areas and that the treatment session may be forfeited as a result of this. Avoid the sun 2 weeks before and after treatment. If you have had a history of cold sores, Zovirax may be used prior to treatment and continued one week after treatment. The use of tanning cream must be discontinued two week before treatment. DURING TREATMENT The skin is cleaned Skin colour can compete as a target for the 810nm wavelength with melanin in the hair. The cooling tip will be used with the laser to minimize skin damage. Safety considerations are important during the laser procedure.

Immediately after treatment, there may be redness and swelling at the treatment area, this may feel like mild sunburn. The application of iced water during the first few hours after treatment will reduce any discomfort. The application of aloe vera gel can continue at home. Makeup may be used immediately after the treatment unless there is epidermal blistering. Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation or darker pigmentation. Use sunscreen SPF 30 or greater at all times throughout the course of treatment. Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin. Do not use any other hair removal treatment methods (waxing, threading, electrolysis or tweezing) that will disturb the hair follicle at the treatment area for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Shaving or depilatories may be used. Hair regrowth occurs at different rates on different areas of the body. New hair growth will not occur for AT LEAST three weeks after treatment. Anywhere from 5-19 days after the treatment, shedding of the surface hair may occur and this appears as new hair growth. This is NOT new hair growth. You can clean and remove the hair by washing or wiping the area with a wet cloth or Loofa sponge. After the underarms are treated, use a powder, instead of deodorant, for 24 hours after the treatment to reduce skin irritation. Avoid hot baths and heat treatments and treat the skin gently, as if you had sunburn, for the first 24 hours. You will need to advise us of any changes to medication or any sun exposure, sun bed use or tanning products used between treatments. A course of treatments is needed to achieve the desired results.
