IPL Hair Removal

Aftercare

No tanning for 6 weeks prior to treatment. Please wear 30+ sunscreen on the treatment area during this time
No fake tan or bronzing products to be used on the treatment area 10 days prior to the treatment
No plucking or waxing 6 weeks prior to treatment (4 weeks on the face) Shaving and clipping are permitted
Please cease the use of AHA’s or retinoids on the treatment area

Shave the treatment area closely
If possible do not wear makeup, bronzer or tinted moisturizer on the area to be treated

The area can feel like mild sunburn. This feeling can last from a few minutes to the rest of the day. If it lasts longer or you are concerned, please contact us
Do not wash the area in hot water or do strenuous exercise for the rest of the day
We advise the use of a cool compress, aloe gel or soothing cream to the area
You may not expose the area to the sun for the duration of treatments. Please apply 30+ sunscreen to the area when in daylight
The hair is still in the follicle but the follicle has been destroyed. It will now shrink up and push out the piece of hair. This makes it look like the hairs are still growing. They will fall out in 10 to 14 days.
DO NOT wax or pluck the area for the duration of treatments. You may shave the area as often as you wish
If you develop a dark crusting on the skin, this is the machine picking up on the pigment in the skin. Do not pick. It will come off with your normal skin cell turnover in approximately 10 to 14 days
If a blister occurs, please use antiseptic gel and do not pick. It will self resolve and will not leave any permanent marks
