• Do not shave for 48–72 hrs after treatment. Do not pluck, tweeze, thread or wax treated hair.
• This prevents mild infection in damaged follicles.
• Hair will drop out naturally over days and weeks; regrowth varies by body area.
• You can shave between clinic treatments.
• Avoid bleaching creams or perfumed products for 24–48 hrs. Avoid waxing, as it removes the base of the hair targeted by the laser/IPL device.
• Treated skin may be red, warm, and bumpy for up to 24 hrs. If uncomfortable or itchy, cool with a cold facial towel and apply aftercare cream.

• Avoid tight clothing. Keep the area clean and dry.
• You can resume deodorant/antiperspirant after 24 hrs (if underarms were treated).

To cleanse and exfoliate your skin pre-treatment, we recommend

• Darkening of pigmented areas is normal. A fine dry crust or scale may form and will flake off over 7–14 days.
• Do not pick or scratch — moisturiser can help soothe it.
• Avoid rough handling of the treated area.
• Any skin responses are temporary and will subside.
• Treated skin may be red, warm, and bumpy for up to 24 hrs.
• If uncomfortable, cool with a cold facial towel and apply aftercare provided.
• Contact your clinician if concerns arise.
• Use gentle cleansers developed for sensitive skin for 2 days post-treatment. Be gentle when drying or rubbing.
• Use sunblock (min SPF 30+) on your face and consider protective cotton gloves for driving, plus wear a hat to protect facial areas.
• Swelling can occur and usually subsides within 24–48 hrs; in rare cases, it may last several days.
• Bruising may occur, especially when targeting small vascular imperfections.
• It will generally heal and fade within a few days.
