you are unable to shave the area yourself, please let us know when

After - Laser Hair Removal Treatment

•  You may have transient redness, swelling, itching and/or burning sensations
for a few minutes up to 48 hours. You may apply aloe vera, hydrocortisone
cream 1%, cold compresses or antibiotic cram if needed.

•  Avoid direct sunlight. Wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.

•  Do not apply makeup to the treated area until all the redness has subsided.

•  Avoid soaking for 24 to 48 hours. No hot tubs, whirlpools or baths,
but showers are okay.

•  Avoid excessive sweating for 24 to 48 hours. No saunas or vigorous
working out.

•  Avoid irritants, such Retin-A, Retinol, Renova, glycolics, bleaching
creams and exfoliants for one week.

•  Do not wax or pluck any hairs between treatment sessions.
Shaving and trimming is okay.

•  Do not manipulate the skin on the treated areas. If crusting or scabbing
develops, allow it to fall off on its own so not to damage the skin beneath.

•  After the treatment (up to 3 weeks) some hair may seem to be
re-growing. This is usually the elimination of the hair that remained
under the skin and is not true re-growth. You may exfoliate with a
loofah sponge in the shower or with a soft washcloth or towel when
you get out of the shower as long as your skin is not sore or irritated.

Follow Up - Laser Hair Removal Treatment

•  On average, most people will need 4 to 6 treatments spaced
4 to 8 weeks apart.

•  Avoid any tanning in between treatments as this increases your
risk for burning during your treatment.
