After Care:
Skin may be slightly red and irritated for a day or two after treatment, this is normal. Use cold packs and tylenol to ease any discomfort. Give it 3-5 days to settle down. Allow the skin to heal naturally and keep it dry and clean.
Book your follow up appointment for 4-12 weeks (depending on area treated) after your treatment. You will start seeing results in up to 2 weeks. Hair will grow back more sparse and thinner than usual. Shave as needed and continue treatment until desired outcome, which could take 6-8 sessions (depending on hair regrowth and individual)
Maintenance is individual, an appointment every year or so may be required as needed.
