Step 1 of 3
Laser treatment for hair reduction is still a relatively new medical cosmetic procedure and long-term studies are ongoing, though no long term side effects have been discovered to date. • Most clients require 6-10 treatments to achieve permanent hair reduction of approximately 80% or greater. • Permanent hair reduction may not be achieved by all clients. • Clients with fine facial hair or clients experiencing hormonal imbalances may require additional or ongoing treatments. • It is recommended that females with hormonal imbalances such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome consult an Endocrinologist for specialist evaluation. They may require medical treatment as well as ongoing treatment in order to achieve best possible results. • Clients commencing treatment during puberty may need additional treatments as their hair growth may not be fully developed due to changing hormone levels. • Clients achieve best results if they have treatments according to the recommended treatment regime – every 6-8 weeks. For facial hair it is recommended to treat every 4 weeks. Clients who leave long periods between treatments will not achieve optimal results.
Do NOT Expose the treatment area to the sun or solarium 4-6 weeks prior to treatment. We Recommend you use sunblock with SPF 30+ (available in store) at all times. • Do not use spray tan or tanning creams at least two weeks prior to treatment all traces of tan have to be removed. The procedure may have to be postponed if you have a tan. • Any form of tanning may lead to complications and side effects such as hyper and hypo pigmentation.
• Do not wax, tweeze or bleach the hair for 4 weeks before and during treatment. You may shave in-between treatments. • Do not use prescription Retin-A for two weeks prior to treatment. • Do not use Roaccutane for at least 6 months prior to treatment.
Redness is a common side effect and may last a few hours to a couple of days after treatment • Apply Eden Skin soothing gel as recommended twice a day for 3 – 4 days until the skin has recovered. It is essential that you purchase Eden Skin formulated products for best results • Until redness has completely subsided, avoid the following: 1. Make up over treated area – Mineral make up is OK 2. Perfumed lotions or creams, exfoliants, loofah sponges, Retin-A products etc. 3. Very hot and very cold water – use tepid water 4. Shaving 5. Swimming in pools and spas with multiple chemicals 6. Activities that cause heavy perspiration 7. Sun exposure of the treatment area (ongoing)) • In case of crusting or swelling of the skin apply soothing gel as recommended and advise us immediately. DO NOT pick or scratch the area as this may lead to infection and scarring. • Over the next 2-4 weeks the treated hair will shed and have the appearance of growing hair / stubble. Do not wax or tweeze the hair, allow the hair to fall away by gently exfoliating (once the skin has settled) or you may shave during this period.
