PRE-TREATMENT PREP

​

• You MUST shave on the day of your appointment - it will not be possible to undertake treatment unless you have achieved a clean shave, with the hair below the surface of the skin

• Wear loose clothing to your appointment, tight fitting clothing may cause irritation and redness after treatment

• No deodorant, lotions or products on the skin on the day of your appointment

• Do not wear any make-up or skincare products if you’re having laser treatment on the face

• Do not use any oil-based products 24 hours before your treatment

• Stop using Roaccutane 6 months prior to laser treatment

• Avoid sun exposure/sun beds 10 days prior to laser treatment

• Avoid any self-tan 10 days before treatment

• Avoid photosensitive medication for 1 week prior to treatment

• Inform staff of any medical changes or if there’s any chance you could be pregnant

AFTERCARE ADVICE​

​

• No deodorant, make up or any products on the skin in the treatment area for the rest of the day after treatment - only SPF 50 and aloe vera gel

• No exercise for 24 hours after treatment

• No sauna/steam room/hot baths etc for 48 hours after treatment

• Apply aloe vera gel for at least 48 hours after treatment

• Avoid self-tan for 48 hours after treatment

• Avoid sun exposure/sun beds for 10 days after treatment

• 10 days after treatment, you should begin to exfoliate with gloves a minimum of 2-3 times per week until your next session (this helps the hairs to shed)

• Do not use any other method of hair removal except shaving - no plucking, waxing, threading or epilating as the hairs need to be present in the follicle

• Continue shaving between sessions
