Pretreatment Instructions
Avoid sun exposure 2-3 weeks before and after treatment until your healthcare provider allows it. Epidermal melanocytes compete with melanin in the hair.
Your provider may ask you to stop any topical medications or skin care products 3-5 days prior to treatment.
Avoid bleaching, plucking or waxing hair for 4-6 weeks prior to treatment. The melanin-containing hair must be present in the follicle as it is the “target” for the laser light.
If you have had a history of perioral or genital herpes simplex virus, your provider may recommend a prophylactic antiviral therapy. Follow the directions for your particular antiviral medication.
RECENTLY TANNED SKIN CANNOT BE TREATED! If treated within 2 weeks of active (natural sunlight or tanning booth) tanning, you may develop hypopigmentation (white spots) after treatment and this may not clear for 2-3 months or more.
The use of self-tanning skin products must be discontinued one week before treatment. Any residual self tanner should be removed prior to treatment.
Intratreatment Care
Post Treatment Care
Your provider may use an optional cooling method after treatment to ensure your comfort.
A topical soothing skin care product such as aloe vera gel may be applied following treatment if desired.
Avoid sun exposure to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation (darker pigmentation).
Use a sunblock (SPF 30+) at all times throughout the course of treatment
Avoid picking or scratching the treated skin. Do not use any other hair removal treatment products or similar treatments (waxing, electrolysis or tweezing) that will disturb the hair follicle in the treatment area for 4-6 weeks after the laser treatment is performed. Shaving only should be done between treatments.
Anywhere from 5-14 days after the treatment, shedding of the treated hair may occur and this appears as new hair growth. This is NOT new hair growth. You can clean and remove the hair by washing or wiping the area with a wet cloth or Loofah sponge.
There are no restrictions on bathing except to treat the skin gently, as if you had sunburn, for the first 24 hours.
Return to the office or call for an appointment at the first sign of the return of hair growth. This may occur within 4- 6 weeks for the upper body and possibly as long as 2-3 months for the lower body. Hair regrowth occurs at different rates on different areas of the body. New hair growth will not occur for AT LEAST three weeks after treatment.
