Thank you for choosing us! Congratulations on taking a step towards achieving smooth skin. To ensure optimal results, it's crucial to follow the instructions provided. If you have any queries, feel free to contact us.
Before discussing post-care instructions, let's address the expected results. Within two weeks, approximately 10%-15% of hair in the treated area will naturally shed. Shaving is permitted, but avoid waxing, bleaching, or plucking to maintain hair follicles. Hair regrowth usually occurs in four weeks (face and neck) or six weeks (body). Consistency and completing the full treatment package are key for up to 80% hair reduction, resulting in softer, finer, and less dense hair.
Following your treatment, apply a thin layer of Vaseline® or Aquaphor® to the treated area three times a day or as needed to soothe any potential irritation.
For at least three days after your treatment, it's important to avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds. Remember to apply sunscreen with SPF 50+ to the treated area when outdoors and use protective accessories like wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses.
To ensure the best results, it's important to avoid activities that can cause excessive sweating or moisture for 24 hours after your treatment. This includes steam rooms, saunas, hot tubs, pedicures, exercise, and swimming for at least three days.
For optimal results, it's best to avoid hot baths and showers. Instead, opt for short, cool or lukewarm showers. Avoid excessive scrubbing or shaving the treated area. After showering, gently pat the area dry with a clean towel.
To ensure optimal healing, avoid harsh soaps, medicated washes, scrubs, peels, and topical prescription products like retinoids for at least three days. Instead, use gentle moisturizers like Vaseline, Aquaphor, or hydrocortisone 1%, and apply sunscreen as needed. If necessary, you may use same-day makeup. Remember, avoid scrubbing the treated area to promote proper recovery.
If you experience redness, swelling, or discomfort after your treatment, there are several steps you can take to find relief. Applying cool ice packs to the affected area for short intervals of three to five minutes can help reduce inflammation. Remember not to exceed five minutes at a time to avoid potential skin damage. Additionally, applying hydrocortisone 1%, Vaseline®, or Aquaphor® up to three times a day can provide soothing relief until the symptoms subside.
If you experience itching after your treatment, there are strategies to alleviate this sensation. You can consider taking over-the-counter antihistamines like Benadryl®, Allegra®, or Claritin® to provide relief as needed. Additionally, applying hydrocortisone 1% cream, along with Vaseline® or Aquaphor®, up to three times a day can help soothe the affected area. It's important to refrain from scratching to prevent further irritation and allow the skin to heal properly.
Experiencing laser bumps is a common occurrence, particularly in areas with dense or coarse hair. These bumps, known as folliculitis, are a positive sign that the laser treatment is working effectively. While they will naturally subside within a few days, you can expedite the healing process. Avoid exposing the area to direct heat and activities that induce sweating. Refrain from picking, scratching, or wearing tight clothing. Apply hydrocortisone 1% cream, along with Vaseline® or Aquaphor®, three times daily until the bumps have resolved. This proactive approach promotes faster recovery and a smoother outcome.
