Post-care Instructions

Care should be taken to prevent trauma to the treated area for the first 2 days following treatment. Shaving should be avoided post treatment for 24 hours.

• A minimum sunblock of SPF 30 (UVA/UVB) should be used for any sun exposure during your treatment duration.

• Tanning has to be avoided 10 days prior and 1 week post a Laser Treatment.

• Cold packs can be applied to ease any temporary discomfort.

• Hair can take up to 3 full weeks to fall out, or in some cases as little as a few days. On average you should see hair falling out at the 7-10 day mark.

• If you experience any adverse reaction, it is important that you contact us right away at 818-290-3938, or email .

• In some people temporary itchiness can occur, you can apply hydrocortisone cream to the area to relieve the sensation. .

• You may experience small red bumps around the hair follicle. This is normal and expected. Do not pick, rub or scratch these until they have cleared. Your skin overall may be sensitive for several days following your laser hair removal treatment.

• If your skin scabs or crusts, or your experience a burn, do not pick, rub or scratch these areas. Doing so can result in infection, permanent pigment changes in your skin or even scarring. Gently cleanse the area and apply hydrocortisone cream several times a day for one week. If the area is open, also apply a layer of antibiotic ointment over the hydrocortisone cream. Please contact us immediately if you experience any burns.

• Do not sunbathe or use a tanning bed for at least 2 weeks following your treatment. If you need to be out in the sun, wear an SPF 30 minimum.

• Avoid swimming, hot tubs and saunas for several days following your treatment.

• It can take several weeks for the hair in the treated area to "fall out" (push up and out of the follicle). This time frame is normal.

• Do not expect your hair to "not grow back" after a single session. Laser hair removal is a process.

• Subsequent treatment sessions should be 6 to 8 weeks if done on the face and 8 to 12 weeks if done on the body.

• Although rare, infection in the treated area is possible. Signs of infection may include redness and tenderness in the infected area and fever. Should you develop an infection, antibiotics may be necessary. Please contact us should you have any concerns.
