Preparing for your appointment

• Don't pluck or wax the area for about 2 weeks before coming in for a treatment. The laser will only target hairs that are in the follicle.

• Give the treatment area a good, close shave the day of the appointment and as close to the time of the appointment as possible. If you are planning on having your back lasered and can't shave it yourself, we'll shave it for you for an extra charge of $35. Just let us know while making your appointment, and we'll schedule extra time for the shave.

• Please don't apply any sort of products to the area. This includes lotion, deodorant, makeup and perfume. This especially applies to deodorants because the aluminum in deodorants may prevent an effective treatment.

 

POST TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS

 

• Avoid the sun between treatments and use a good sunblock on the areas being treated. If you have gotten a tan on the area, please notify your laser technician. Sunless tanning products should also be avoided once treatments start.

• Don't pluck or wax the area between treatments. The laser will only target hairs that are in the follicle.

• Makeup may be used after treatment. It is recommended to use new makeup to reduce the possibility of infection. Just make sure that you have moisturizer under your makeup. In fact, moisturizer will help the dead hair exfoliate from the follicle, so use moisturizer frequently and freely on the treated area. Any moisturizer without alpha-hydroxy acids will work.

• Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin.

• Anywhere from 5-30 days after the treatment, shedding of the hair may occur and this may appear as new hair growth. This is not new hair growth, but dead hair pushing its way out of the follicle. You can help the hair exfoliate by washing or wiping with a washcloth.

• You may shower after the laser treatments, and use soap, deodorant, etc. The treated area may be washed gently with a mild soap. Skin should be patted dry and not rubbed. Underarms that have been treated should be wiped with alcohol for 24 hours. You may apply deodorant after 24 hours.

• Hair re-growth occurs at different rates on different areas of the body. New hair growth will not occur for at least three weeks after treatment.
