- Shave the treatment area the day of your appointment
- Do not wax or tweeze within 3 weeks prior to your appointment
- Treatment area should be clean of any lotions, makeup, sun block, perfume, or any other skin care products
Post~ Treatment
- Treated area may appear pink or red for a day or so afterwards; along with some mild swelling (can be soothed with aloe gel or ice packs)
- The treated hair will continue to appear for 7 ~ 30 days post~treatment. This is not new hair growth, but the treated hair being expelled from the follicle
