after treatment areas will be
tender, slightly red and swollen.
This reaction usually disappears
within a few hours.

Blisters may
occur in sensitive areas such as
bikini line and neck areas. Oozing,
crusting and scabbing are not
common, but are possible. Contact
your electrologist for treatment
guidelines.

Do
not pick or remove scabs.

In
case of minor edema (swelling),
apply ice packs 15 minutes on and
off during the day. If swelling
persists, notify your electrologist.

Apply
antibiotic cream or ointment (Polysporin,
Neosporin, Bactroban, Fucidin, or
Hydrocortisone) two to three times
daily until healed. The area should
heal in 5-7 days. We recommend
antibiotic cream for the face.

Avoid
sun before, after and between
treatments. Wear a sunscreen of SPF
30 or higher on treated area. A
severe burn and/or scarring may
result if you sunbathe or use a
tanning bed on area after a
treatment.

You
may shower the next day after laser
treatments. The treated areas may be
washed gently with a mild soap. The

NOTE:
Stubble representing dead hair being
shed will appear 4-5 days after
treatment. It will shed from the
hair follicle in about 15-20 days.

Your
second treatment is the most
important treatment and should be
done 4-6 weeks after your first
treatment. It is important that your
appointments are done on a regular
schedule in order to catch the hair
in the proper growth cycle.
