Before undergoing laser hair removal or IPL skin treatments, the skin are to be treated should be un-tanned; this makes autumn and winter the ideal time for laser and IPL treatments.
The skin should be free of cosmetics. Inform the doctor of any medications you are taking or applying to the treatment area.
Ladies, avoid laser / IPL treatments while pregnant or nursing.
For laser hair removal, the hair in the treatment area should not be plucked or waxed for at least 3 weeks before treatment.
Take your analgesic medication 1 hour before your appointment, and be sure to bring a driver.

POST TREATMENT CONSIDERATIONS
Many patient experience some redness and swelling of the hair follicles (looks like "razor burn"); this may last a few hours to a few days.
After laser hair treatment, the hair shafts may extrude from the lasered follicles; these can be removed with gentle wash with loofa sponge or soft wash cloth.
After IPL, occasional "sunburn" or blistering may occur. Use skin repair solutions and moisturizers we will give you. Dark spots may turn darker until they slough off. This may take 1-2 weeks. Use cover rouge we will recommend to you.
Use sun screen and moisturizers after all laser / IPL treatments.
