It is difficult, if not
impossible, to predict how many treatments each individual will require to
achieve the best long term reduction in hair growth. We typically recommend a
package of 6 treatments to achieve optimum results.
Laser Hair Removal Pre-Treatment Instructions
Avoid waxing, tweezing, depilatory creams, or electrolysis for 2-4 weeks prior
to treatment, and at all times between treatments.
Avoid the use of exfoliant creams i.e.: Retin-A, Alpha-hydroxy, glycolic acid,
etc. 2 weeks prior to treatment.
Full hair growth and stubble is required for the initial visit for proper
assessment and documentation. After this visit you may shave between your laser
treatment appointments.
Avoid tanning, including self-tanning creams, for 2 weeks prior to each
treatment. A sunscreen with SPF 30 or greater should be used on any area of sun
exposed skin which you plan to treat.
Shave the area to be treated within 24 hours prior to your appointment.
Laser Hair Removal Post-Treatment Instructions
The response, results, and healing to laser treatments vary with each
individual. Varying factors include, but are not limited to, skin colour,
density of hair, treatment location, and post-treatment care.
Gently apply pure Aloe Vera Gel, Polysporin Antibiotic Ointment, or a product
suggested by your hair removal technician to the treated area twice daily until
healed. If necessary cover the area to protect against sun exposure.
When showering and washing, pat dry, do not rub excessively.
A cold pack may be placed over the treated area to reduce redness and swelling
which can last 1-3 days. The area will usually heal within 5-7 days.
Avoid using any harsh topical creams until the area is healed i.e.: exfoliants,
Retin-A, Alpha-hydroxy, glycolic acid, acne creams etc.
Avoid sun exposure to the treated area for 24-48 hours. After this time SPF 30
or greater is recommended on the treated area during the course of laser
treatment. Avoid tanning, including self-tanning creams, for 2 weeks prior to
each treatment.
Blistering after treatment is rare but does occur. Crusts and scabs may develop
as a result and will fall off in 2-3 weeks. Avoid rubbing, scratching or
picking.
Reminders:
* Stubble or what appears to be re-growth may appear. This is not new hair, but
is the remaining hair being expelled from the hair follicle. This hair may take
1 to 3 weeks to fall out; shaving is permitted between treatments.
* Your next treatment should be booked when new re-growth appears - in
approximately 4-6 weeks.
* Consistent treatments will allow for the most effective results.
