Laser Hair Removal Before and After Instructions
Pretreatment:
1. Hair should be clean shaven before treatment.
2. No aspirin or ibuprofen 48 hours prior to or after treatment is recommended to limit possible bruising.
3. No tanning or use of tanning solutions should be used 2 weeks prior to treatment. The less tan you are the more comfortable and effective your treatment will be.
Contraindications:
Pregnancy, use of medications that increase photosensitivity, history of keloid scarring and recent sun exposure.
Treatment:
The laser wavelength, exposure duration and energy level are chosen to selectively damage targeted hair follicles with minimum damage to the surrounding tissue. The laser light is absorbed by the hair follicles, resulting in their heating. It is recommended that multiple treatments are given over several months with gradual clearing occurring. Clinical result may vary in different skin types and with different hair colors and locations.
Post Treatment Care:
1. Care should be taken to prevent trauma to the treated area for the first 4-5 days.
2. Shaving and clipping is okay but waxing and plucking should be avoided.
3. Sun block should be used. No tanning and/or tanning solutions should be applied for at least 2 weeks after treatment.
4. If the skin is broken or a blister appears apply Bacitracin , Vitamin E or Aloe.
5. Cold packs and/or Aloe may be used to ease any temporary discomfort.
6. Make up can be applied as long as the skin is not broken.
