The medication can make your skin more susceptible to damage from the laser. - Avoid bleaching, waxing or plucking the targeted area for 2-3 weeks prior to laser treatment. Shaving hairs or using chemical depilatories, however, is acceptable. - For hair removal on the face, please do not use (or make sure you wash off all) makeup prior to treatment. - Generally, it is best to wait 4 to 6 weeks between treatments.
2 There is no advantage to scheduling your visits closer together even if you do not see immediate results. The laser only targets hair in the growth phase. The next growth phase will be in 4 to 6 weeks. Post-Care - You may feel like you have a mild to moderate sunburn. Minor crusting or minor peeling of the surface layers of the skin is not unusual. Over the counter Hydrocortisone Cream and Aloe Vera Gel may help with redness or inflammation of your skin. - Avoid bathing or washing with very hot water. Use tepid water. - Keep the area clean. Wash gently. Avoid makeup but use a lot of moisturizer. Patient Signature_____ Date_____
