PRE & POST CARE

PRE TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

• Thoroughly shave the treatment area (use a razor) the night before - AM appointments or in the morning before - PM appointments. The hair has to be shaved in order to avoid the absorption of the light by the hair laying on the skin - to eliminate "tiny pin pricks" sensation/pain and provide better results as well.

• Thoroughly remove make-up, cremes, perfumes and deodorants.

• Cease any excessive sun exposure or a solarium for 4 to 8 weeks prior to treatment.

• No tanning products for 2 weeks prior to treatment.

• No competing methods like plucking, waxing, or needle electrolysis 4  weeks before the treatment.
• Notify staff of any medications you are currently taking to determine if they are photosensitive.
• No laser treatments while pregnant.
 

​

POST TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
