Prior to Laser Treatment:
**PLEASE SHAVE AREAS TO BE TREATED BEFORE YOU ARRIVE FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT**
-Please do not tweeze or wax areas you wish to have treated for 6 weeks prior to treatment.
-Avoid tan areas to be treated for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment.
-Avoid using self-tanning products for at least 4 weeks prior to treatment.
-Stop using glycolic acid and retinols 3-5 days prior to facial treatments.
-Stop using medications: Accutane 6 months / Tetracycline 3 months prior to treatment.
After Laser Treatment:
-Some redness and swelling in the area is normal after treatment and may feel similar to a slight sunburn sensation. This should resolve within 2 – 72 hours after treatment.
-We would like the heat to leave your body naturally, so until this happens avoid overly hot baths, hot tubs, and exercise.
-Apply minimum SPF 30 over the treated area and avoid direct sunlight for 72 hours.
Follow Up:
-Re-examination should be 6 - 8 weeks later, or when any new hair has grown in the treatment area.
-Depending on the determination of hair clearance, treatment parameters may be changed. With multiple treatments, increase the time intervals between treatment sessions(after the second one), to allow any new hair to grow in the treatment area. New growth will vary based on the body area(growth cycle) and on the individual patient (gender, hormonal problems, etc.)
