LASER CONDITIONS

Important information before laser treatment

The skin must be shaved prior to treatment unless your specialist indicates otherwise. We recommend shaving 24 hours in advance to avoid skin irritation. The hair must not have been pulled out (epilation, waxing, electric epilation etc.) for up to 6 weeks prior to the treatment.

Avoid skin irritation or tanning of the area to be treated or use full sun protection (>SPF 30), apply 2-3 times daily for at least 3 weeks prior to treatment. Deeply tanned skin should not be treated until 4-6 weeks after active discoloration.

Avoid the use of anticoagulants for 10 days before treatment, if medical condition permits.

Hydrate the skin of the treatment area a day before treatment.

Stop using irritating superficial products for 2-3 days before treatment.

Arrive for treatment with clean skin. No lotion, makeup, perfume, powder, bath/shower oil should be present on the skin to be treated. During a menstrual period, we do not treat the pubic area.

Terms

Laser treatment takes place entirely at your own risk;

The client is aware that there is no guarantee of the complete disappearance of all hair growth. This can vary from person to person. On average, a hair reduction of 80-95% is achieved.

The number of treatments for optimal results cannot be accurately estimated and varies from person to person.

To have been fully informed by the laser specialist treated of the risk of hyperpigmentation/hypopigmentation associated with such treatment. (This risk can be reduced by using proper sun protection).

Redness (erythema) may appear after treatment. This erythema disappears within a few days. There is a minimal chance of blistering, loss of pigment and, in exceptional cases, a chance of burns which may cause wounds. This can result in very small scars. During the first intake this will be clearly explained to the client.

Disruptions in hormone balance, certain medications or illnesses, puberty, pregnancy, breastfeeding or menopause can cause new hair developments. Keep this in mind.

During the treatment, both the practitioner and the client are required to wear laser glasses due to the possible damage to the eyes.
