AFTERCARE ADVICE

What happens after the treatment?

Hair Removal

Prior to each treatment the hair should be shaved or trimmed from the surface of the skin. It is useful to have approximately 3 days regrowth so where possible please do this a few days before you are due to come in. After the treatment the hair will appear to still be growing. It is in fact shedding and this process can take up to three weeks. Shaving and trimming in the meantime is acceptable. The hair re-growth should be slowed substantially and may be patchy when it does return. Most clients notice an improvement after 2-3 treatments, excepting non-guaranteed treatments. The re-growth may then appear to worsen; in fact the growth cycle has become synchronised, which is highly desirable as subsequent treatments will be even more effective.

Red Vein Removal

The skin may experience some trauma, redness and slight swelling. Symptoms will normally subside within one week. The area may scab slightly as healing commences. The area should be kept dry and only recommended products should be applied. Makeup should not be used directly over the area for at least 48 hours.
