POST TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS FOR LASER HAIR REMOVAL

  1. The area may be a little itchy, red, and mild swelling around the follicles for 24-48 hours. Apply 1% hydrocortisone cream as directed.
  2. Please notify your practitioner immediately if there are any hot spots either not dissipating or increasing after treatment. Apply cool compresses as needed, but also notify your clinic. Although burns are rare, the sooner the area is assessed, the sooner we can implement appropriate interventions to optimize the healing process.
  3. Hairs will appear to be growing back for 2-3 weeks after treatment, and may appear spotty. This is normal, and you may continue to shave as needed.
  4. Please continue to use a physical sunblock at all times.
  5. Be sure to schedule your next appointment with your provider. Although, SkinSpirit makes every effort to schedule your treatments at your convenience, please be aware that being consistent with your provider will improve your continuity of care.
