Post Treatment Advice
- Do not shave the treated areas until 5 days have passed post treatment so that the body can shed your hair naturally and to avoid any irritation on the treated skin. Your skin may feel rough or slightly bumpy - this is completely normal! Your hair is shedding its way out!
- Stay hydrated! You can moisturise and use aloe vera gel on the treated area 12 hours after your treatment has taken place
- You should exfoliate twice weekly 5 days after the treatment has taken place to encourage your hair to shed
- Never pick or scratch the treated area! If it feels irritable, place a cold compress over the area to soothe
- Avoid exposing your skin to any UV rays and ensure the skin is protected with SPF 30+
- Avoid saunas and Jacuzzi's for 48 hours after your treatment to allow your skin to calm
