Laser Hair Post-Treatment Procedure
-
Immediately after your treatment there likely will be some slight redness, swelling around the hair follicles and mild discomfort similar to a sun burn. Use Biologique Recherche Body Exfoliating Massage Glove. Cool packs may be applied.
-
During and immediately after your session you may notice the smell of burned hairs which is normal.
-
Do not rub or pick the treated area. Do not use any loofahs or abrasive scrubs for a few days.
-
Avoid strenuous sports activities or hot water/saunas/jacuzzis for 3 days.
-
Contact our office if the area shows signs of infection or blistering or if there is evidence of a burn.
-
Continue to use sunblock for the duration of your treatments.
-
After your treatment, the hair may appear to grow for up to two weeks. This is simply the treated hair being shed from the follicle, and is not new growth.
-
Your session typically is scheduled in four weeks for facial areas and 6-8 weeks for areas on the body. Make sure to make your next appointment before you leave.
-
Electrolysis, waxing, threading, tweezing, or plucking is to be avoided between sessions. However, shaving is acceptable. Please shave the day prior to your next hair removal appointment.
