After Care

The success of your treatment will heavily depend on your recommended aftercare regime, which should be strictly adhered to. Although aftercare plans will vary for each treatment, follow the guidance below for both laser hair removal and skin treatments (including skin peels, revitalisation, wrinkle, pigmentation and thread vein treatment):

Always avoid :

• Perfume, aftershave, lotion, cream, oil or bleaching cream on the treatment area for 24 – 48 hours. Aloe Vera gel is permitted
• Products containing Retinol during the course of your treatment as this could cause an adverse reaction, unless otherwise recommended by your practitioner
• Deodorants or anti-perspirants in the treatment area for at least 48 hours (for IPL / laser treatments only)
• Exercise for 24 – 48 hours after treatment. Sweat glands are part of the hair follicleand sweating can lead to inflamed and infected follicles
• Unnecessary heating of the area for at least two weeks, including: Hot Baths, Jacuzzis, Saunas, Sun-beds and Steam Rooms
• Exposing skin to UV rays (sun exposure or the use of tanning beds) or self tan for at least two weeks
• Anti-inflammatory medication i.e. Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Voltarol and others for at least one week after treatment (skin treatments only)
• Exfoliating or peels for at least one week
• Waxing, threading, sugaring or any form of depilation on the treatment area during a course of treatment. The only approved method of hair removal following IPL or laser hair removal is shaving

Make sure you always :

• Apply an SPF 25+ sun cream to the treatment area if the area will be exposed to sunlight
• Keep the treatment area clean and dry
