Preparing for Treatment
Shaving – make sure that you shave the area being treated the night before your appointments to get the best results.
No waxing – Avoid any waxing for at least 4 weeks before your session. The laser needs pigment in the hair to effectively target and treat the hair.
Limit sun exposure – if you have had any direct sun exposure, including tanning or sunbathing, wait at least 4 weeks before your treatment. For incidental sun exposure allow a minimum of 2 weeks before your session.
Skip tropical products – avoid applying any creams, moisturisers, body oils, colognes, or perfumes to the area 24 hours before your appointment. Also make sure any fake tan is removed at least 24 hours before your treatment.
Aftercare Instructions
Following your treatment, you may notice a slight warmth and redness in the treated area. To ease any discomfort, apply a soothing gel or calming cream for several days until your skin returns to normal.
What to avoid
For the first 24 hours you should steer clear of shaving, waxing, plucking, exfoliating the skin, activities that cause sweating, swimming or using saunas, hot showers or baths, and wearing tight or restrictive clothing.
Sun protection
Keep the treated area out of any direct sunlight for at least 2-4 weeks after your session. To protect your skin, always apply SPF 50+ suncream when exposed to daylight.
Skincare tips
Roughly 5 days after treatment, gently exfoliate the area to help remove treated hairs and prevent ingrown hairs.
