Pre-Treatment
Instructions
|
|
| |
 |
Makeup, antiperspirant, other lotions & potions
need thoroughly removed before area is treated
-They will burn. Please shave areas of
treatment for any laser sessions. |
 |
Avoid self-tanning/bronzers, sun exposure,
tanning beds, hair chemical services, creams
that dye skin for a minimum of 2 weeks prior,
during and after course of treatment, and DO NOT
WEAR MAKEUP to your appointment or thoroughly
cleanse it off, it will burn. |
 |
After 1st
session (especially hair removal), DO NOT USE
any other hair removal methods or products on
the treated area during the course of treatment,
as it will prevent you from achieving your best
results; refrain from tweezing, plucking,
bleaching, depilatories (Nair) or waxing for two
weeks prior each treatment. Shave area 2-12
hours PRIOR to your appointment with a NEW razor
or electric clippers. |
 |
Discontinue use of topical applications such as
Retin-A, Accutane, Hydroquinone, retinol
products and PHOTOSENSITIZING medications and
any other treatments that can increase
photosensitivity (at least 7 days prior to your
treatment). Clients using ANTICOAGULANTS should
be noted. |
 |
If you have or had cold sores or genital herpes,
start taking antiviral two days prior to
treatment and three days following to decrease
outbreak risk. |
 |
DO NOT
have treatment over tattoos (may scar/fade) or
fillers such as Juvederm. |
 |
DO NOT
have this done if you are pregnant. |
 |
Follow up treatment should not be closer
together than 4 weeks; unless careful
consideration is made. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Post-Treatment
Instructions
|
|
| |
 |
Immediately after treatment you may have
redness, bumps or feel slightly sunburned
several hours or longer as the healing process
is occurring. Immediately use cold compress (10
minutes on, 10 minutes off) multiple times in
the first 24 hours will help minimize swelling. |
 |
Apply a gentle moisturizer immediately after
treatment and extra applications for a few days,
before resuming your normal skin routine. Most
moisturizer without alpha-hydroxy acids will
work. You may also use aloe gel to relieve
redness during first 24 hours. Never
use petroleum base “ointments” as they lock heat
in. You may apply deodorant after 24
hours. |
 |
You may shower after the laser treatments and
the treated area may be washed gently with mild
cleanser (such as Cetephil, Aquinil, or Dove) in
lukewarm water. Skin should be patted dry and
NOT rubbed. |
 |
Avoid
any trauma to the skin for at least 2-5 days,
such as hot bathing (saunas), strenuous
exercise, massage, harsh cleansers, irritants or
chemicals such as
Peels/Scrubs (exfoliators), Accutane,
Retin-A, Benzoyl Peroxide or astringents on the
treated area. |
 |
Remember -Redness may turn brown if exposed
to sun!
Please
stay out of direct sunlight for 2 weeks and
sun exposure to the treated area for 1 to 2
months following treatment.
You must apply Sunblock daily to treated
areas, especially facial areas with a broad
spectrum minimum SPF 30 or higher for 2 months
after treatment, reapply every 2-3 hours.
Tanning after treatment sessions may enhance
melanin regeneration, which may result in
hyper-pigmentation or other side effects. |
 |
Do not apply old
make-up (bacterial reasons), especially to cover
any redness from treatment. No liquid
makeup for two weeks, as this can soak into
skin. Natural makeup is allowed as long as skin
is not irritated, broken or blistered.
Always make
sure that you have moisturizer on, under your
makeup. |
 |
If you experience itching in the area (common as
the skin heals), apply over the counter topical
1% hydrocortisone cream
and/or take an antihistamine (Claritin,
Benadryl). |
 |
Try not to touch areas treated, as hands may not
be sterile. |
 |
Very
rarely, a small blister or scab may form. Leave
it alone if left intact. Allow healing
naturally, without irritation. Do not try to
remove any scabbing. You may apply Aloe
regularly to keep area moist. If skin
peels, breaks or a blister opens, apply an over
the counter topical Antibacterial cream to area
(that you are not allergic to), discontinue if a
rash appears. |
 |
Reduce scarring risk - you must not
pick/scratch/scrub off skin after treatment.
Scarring is very rare
and it is important to follow all instructions
carefully. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Please note: Anywhere from 5-20
days after the treatment, shedding
of the hair may occur and this may
appear as new hair growth. This is
not new hair growth, but dead hair
pushing its way out of the
follicle. This is normal and will
fall out quickly. In fact,
moisturizer will help the dead hair
exfoliate from the follicle, so use
moisturizer frequently and freely on
the treated area. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Please
discuss when you should resume any prescribed
medications such as Hydroquinone, Accutane or Retin-A
with your Doctor. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Pigmented areas
(Sun Spots) may change before they fade
(devitalized skin which peels off naturally, average
8 days on face, 21 days on body); Hyper-pigmentation
(darkening of the skin) or hypo-pigmentation
(lightening of the skin) of areas may occur, lasting
1-6 months or longer. Usually temporary and fade
over time. |

Reduction of Spider Veins
|
|
| |
Due to poor
circulation; gravity is pulling blood down but
having difficulty circulating back up your legs.
Build-up of pressure causes a vessel to break into
tiny vessels; visible at skins surface. If left
untreated, they may grow into very large and painful
varicose veins. There are a few things you can do
during and after a laser treatment to heal faster
and keep them away.
We advise
you to follow the acronym - R.I.C.E + massage
[R]est leg
after treatment [I]ce area treated with a cold [C]ompress
area or wear compression garment. [E]levate legs
(especially end of day) to ease pressure for the
many hours laying flat during sleep.
Massage
treated area to stimulate a healing response (Do Not
do if skin is broken) as healing process occurs. |

Acknowledgements:
|
|
| |
 |
For optimal results, wearing Compression
Garments or stockings for 48 hours and then
during the day while on feet for up to two
weeks. |
 |
Pinpoint bleeding is rare but can occur
following spider vein treatment procedures.
Should bleeding occur, additional treatment
might be necessary. |
 |
We recommend you avoid air travel for 24 hours
after your treatment. Care should be taken to
prevent trauma to the treated area for the first
four or five days following treatment. |
