QUES TIONS AND ANSWERS
follicle or surrounding skin is not red, sore or inflamed, treatment can be repeated after a
minimum of 48 hours. Choose a time which is convenient for you. Avoid excessive treatment on
the same region at one time. This may cause reddening and swelling. To maintain hair free skin
and to ensure disabled hair follicles remain dormant, repeat the treatment every 4 to 6 weeks
or as required.
Is there any aftercare routine I should follow?
If you wish, you can apply an unperfumed soothing lotion, an ice pack or wet towel to cool the
treated areas, though we recommend not using soap on the treated areas for 24 hours. Take care
to keep the treated area particularly clean for 3 days. When treating the underarms, avoid using
antiperspirant deodorant for 2–3 days. Avoid unnecessary sun exposure for 48 hours.
How many treatments will I need?
Long term hair removal with IPL is generally considered to be effective after a minimum of six
treatments over a period of 6 months. This varies from person to person and depends on the
area you are treating, hair density, your hair's growth cycle and colour. Dark hair on fair skin
responds to IPL best, but both dark and fair hair may take several treatments for long-term
results. Initially with each treatment you will notice a gradual thinning/reduction of hair growth in
the treated area. To maintain hair free skin and to ensure disabled hair follicles remain dormant,
repeat the treatment every 4 to 6 weeks or as required.
