Aftercare Instructions

Please read the following carefully! This information will help you know what to expect and how to care for the treated areas.

What to Expect

  • The treated area may swell somewhat for a day or so. Swelling results from heat, not infection, and is therefore normal and expected.

Care of the Treated Area

  • If the area becomes dry or itchy, you should apply a thin coat of fragrance-free moisturizer (Lubriderm, Eucerine or Curel) to the treated area once or twice a day for 7 days. If itching persists, apply an over the counter hydrocortisone cream.

Precautions

  • Do not scratch or pick the area. Scratching or picking the area will have the same result as picking any scab or pimple, and the area could scar.
  • Wear clothing or sun block (SPF 30) to protect the treated area from direct sun exposure. Be sure to reapply sun block throughout the day.


It is imperative to the success of future treatments and skin health to protect the skin from sun exposure while undergoing laser hair removal treatments.
