• If there are scabs or blisters, make-up should not be used for 3-4 days
• Avoid touching, rubbing, peeling or picking of the skin, as this may cause hyper/hypo-pigmentation, scaring or infection.
• Gently apply pure Aloe Vera gel or antibiotic ointment, to the treated area twice daily until healed and dry
• A “cold pack” may be placed over the treated area to reduce swelling and/or discomfort for the first 2-3 days. Discomfort is usually minimal but pain medication can also be taken for pain and swelling if required
• For 1 week, avoid hot baths, showers, hot tubs and saunas. When showering and washing, gently pat dry and do not rub

Two weeks following the first treatment you will begin to see results and significantly less hair will grow back. Additionally, with each treatment, the amount of hair regrowth will decrease.

The typical regimen is 6-10 treatment sessions, spaced 4-12 weeks apart. Treatment time depends on the area being treated. The average treatment takes approximately 15 minutes.

About 20-25% of human hair follicles on the body are in the active growth phase at any given time. This is the percentage of hair follicles that can be destroyed in a single treatment session. In order to eliminate up to 90% of the hair, treatments should be repeated until the desired result is achieved.
