POST TREATMENT CARE

To ensure your comfort after treatment, please adhere to the following post treatment recommendations:

FOR UP TO 24 HOURS

The skin may be red and warm after treatment this is perfectly normal and will naturally subside. If you wish, you can apply a cold compress to help calm the skin. However, it is advisable to avoid using ice as this may irritate the skin.

You can also use soothing preparations such as aloe vera, witch hazel or tea tree oil. These will help soothe skin and reduce redness after hair removal.

• Avoid using make up on the treated area, allowing the skin to cool naturally and more comfortably.

FOR 48 HOURS
• Avoid all heat treatments including hot baths, saunas, steam baths and showers.
• No swimming in strongly chlorinated water.
• Do not use bleaching creams.
• Avoid perfumed products e.g., soaps, creams or perfumes.
• Leave any temporary skin responses such as redness to subside naturally.
• Do not touch, pick, scratch or otherwise irritate the area.

FOR 72 HOURS
