Multiple treatments are required to achieve the full hair reduction effect. The hairs on your body are not always at the same stage, so you’ll need to undergo 6-10 treatments, an average of six to eight weeks apart, to catch them all in the growth stage.

1. For about six weeks prior to treatment, you should avoid plucking, electrolysis, or waxing.
2. On the day of your treatment, skin should be clean-shaven and thoroughly cleansed of any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or self-tanning products.
3. Do not expose the treatment area to sunlight or tanning booth light prior to or immediately after treatment for 4-6 weeks..
4. If you are prone to cold sores, please take your prophylactic prior to treatment.
5. Please discontinue use of tanning creams, tanning beds, or bronzers before and during treatments.

1. Immediately after treatment there may be erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) at the treatment site. This usually last 2 hours or longer. The erythema may last up to 10 days. The treatment area may feel like a sunburn for a. few hours after the treatment, but this will subside.
2. Apply ice as needed.
3. Hydrocortisone may be used for 3-5 days post treatment.
4. No heat, such as saunas, steam rooms, Jacuzzis, extremely hot showers, or strenuous activities. No prolonged heat for a minimum of 48 hours post treatment.
5. AVOID sun exposure to avoid any chances of hyper- or hypo-pigmentation.
6. Avoid picking or scratching the treated areas. Please do not use any hair removal products or similar treatments as these will disturb the hair follicle. Shaving is permitted.
7. Up to two weeks post treatment you will notice shedding of the treated hair. This is NOT new growth. You can clean and remove the hair by washing or wiping the area with a wet cloth.
8. Treat your skin GENTLY for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
9. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen of a least 30 SPF and protect the treated area from sunlight for 1 whole month. Sun exposure may cause hyperpigmentation. Re-apply your sunscreen every 2-3 hours as needed. Remember that clothing and hats DO NOT give completely protection from UV radiation.

Permanent side effects are rare. Temporary side effects may include redness, swelling, hyperpigmentation, hypopigmentation, blistering and purpura (laser bruise) in the treated area. [These usually do not last more than a few days.]
