PRE & AFTERCARE

  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Avoid sun and tanning bed exposure for 14 days prior to the treatment. A sunburned skin cannot be treated.

  • Shave the Treatment Area: Shave the area 24-48 hours before your appointment. This ensures an efficient treatment, as the laser can target the hair follicles.

  • Use of Products: Stop using self-tanning products or retinoids at least one week before the treatment.

  • Skin Cleaning: Ensure the area is clean on the day of treatment, without lotions or deodorants.

  • Medication: Inform your beautician about any medications you are taking, as some can increase sensitivity to the laser.
  • Avoid Heat Sources: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and exposure to direct sunlight for 24 hours after the treatment.

  • Protection from Sunlight: Protect the treated area with clothing and use a sunscreen with a high SPF.

  • Gentle Cleaning: Clean the area gently and avoid scrubbing or rubbing for several days after the treatment.

  • Hydration: Keep the skin well-hydrated with a mild moisturizing lotion.
  • Hair Length: Ensure the hair length is ideal, typically about 0.5 to 1 cm, for an effective waxing or sugaring treatment, both for men and women.

  • Hydration: Hydrate the skin well before the treatment, but avoid applying lotions or oils directly before the session, both for men and women.

  • Pain Management: Consider using pain relievers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol, 30 minutes before the treatment to reduce any discomfort, both for men and women.

  • Avoid Heat Sources: Avoid warm showers, saunas, and steam rooms for 24 hours after the treatment to prevent skin irritation, both for men and women.

  • Protection from Sunlight: Protect the waxed or sugared skin from direct sunlight and use a sunscreen with SPF, both for men and women.

  • Avoid Tight Clothing: Wear loose clothing to avoid friction on the treated skin and to reduce ingrown hairs, both for men and women.

  • Exfoliation after a Few Days: Begin regular exfoliation a few days after the treatment to prevent ingrown hairs and keep the skin smooth, both for men and women.

  • Hydration: Keep the skin hydrated with a mild, moisturizing lotion to maintain healthy skin and reduce irritation, both for men and women.

  • Avoid Moisturizers and Oils: Do not use moisturizers, oils, or makeup on your eyebrows and eyelashes on the day of the treatment.

  • Remove Contact Lenses: If you wear contact lenses, it’s best to remove them before the treatment.

  • Communicate Any Concerns: Inform your technician about any allergies, eye conditions, or recent eye surgeries.

  • Avoid Water and Steam: Avoid getting your eyebrows and eyelashes wet and stay away from steam-rich environments like saunas or hot showers for the first 24-48 hours after the treatment.

  • Skip Mascara and Eye Makeup: Do not use mascara or eye makeup for at least 24-48 hours after the treatment.

  • Avoid Rubbing or Touching: Avoid rubbing or touching your eyebrows and eyelashes to prevent irritation or displacement of the lifted hairs.

  • Use Oil-Free Products: Use oil-free cleansers and makeup removers around the treated area to maintain the lift longer.

  • Regular Brushing: Brush your eyelashes and eyebrows regularly with a clean brush to keep them neat and in place.

  • Hydration: After the first 24-48 hours, you can apply a nourishing eyebrow serum or eyelash conditioner to keep the hairs hydrated and healthy.

  • Sleep on Your Back: Try to sleep on your back for the first few nights after the treatment to avoid flattening your lashes.
