You will be given several forms prior to receiving treatment.
Make sure that you fully understand them prior to treatment. The forms will
include your health assessment, and consent. You will also be given before
and after care information that you should read and follow. See below for before
and after pictures.
The settings and light source in the hand piece are set
according to the type of treatment and your skin type. The settings (duration,
mode) are adjusted to provide the best treatment for you. Test spots will
usually be done prior to treating an area to determine your treatment settings.
You may experience a slight discomfort during treatment. Your practitioner can adjust the settings to provide the balance between treatment effectiveness and your comfort.
You will be required to wear safety glasses if we are
working around your face to protect your eyes. You should keep your eyes
closed during treatments.
For hair removal, we will mark the areas to be treated and
then trim your hair prior to treatment. You may smell some hair burning during
treatment.
You should avoid sun exposure for treated areas for a few days
after treatment. You should not use a depilatory (wax or cream). tweezers, or
tanning creams for 2 weeks after treatment.
Most people experience a mild sunburn-like feeling in the
treated area. This feeling will usually disappear after 2 to 3 hours after
treatment. You can alleviate this feeling by applying a cool compress to the
treated area. In some extreme cases, you will experience slight blisters that
appear on the face for 2 to 3 days or up to 7 days on the body.
You should gently cleanse the treated areas with water and a
neutral soap at least twice a day following your treatment.
There are no reported serious effects. The most common side
effect is hyper pigmentation which should disappear within 6 months without
treatment.
