Laser Services

  • A broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen of 50 SPF or higher should be applied whenever area to be treated is exposed to the sun. This practice should continue between treatments and following your last treatment for at least 6 weeks. This can prevent post treatment complications such as hyper-pigmentation, or hypo-pigmentation.

  • DO NOT use self-tanning products for at least 4 weeks prior to laser treatment.

  • DO NOT use Retin-A or Renova one week prior to laser treatment.

  • DO NOT take Accutane for at least 2 months prior to laser treatment.

  • DO NOT take Aspirin for several days before treatment in order to avoid purpura/ bruising
  • DO NOT carry out other hair removal treatments (waxing, tweezers, electric epilators) or bleaching hair for at least 1 month before the first treatment. Regular shaving is fine

  • The area should be shaved 24-48 hours prior to treatment.If hair is fine and no shadow can be seen after shaving, it is a good idea to take a photo of unshaven area to show technician

  • DO NOT wear make-up, deodorant, perfumes or powder on the areas to be treated

  • Plan to avoid tight elastic at the leg opening following bikini treatments

  • If you have a history of oral herpes (fever blisters/ sores) and are having your mouth area treated, you will need to have your physician prescribe suppressive therapy and take as directed
