Pre care instructions

• It is important that you shave 24 hours before or the night before your appointment.

• If you attend your laser appointment and have not shaved, you will be charged $20 for shaving (Please note we WILL NOT shave the brazilian or bikini).

• You need to ensure you have exfoliated the night before by using a proper body scrub (you can buy a body scrub from us). 

• Remove all makeup before your laser appointment.

• Do not apply moisturiser, lotion or deodorant on your skin before your appointment. 

• It is crucial that you avoid waxing and tweezing for 6 weeks prior to your appointment.

• If you have self tanned or spray tanned you need to wait until there is NO MORE tan on your skin before doing laser. 

• You need to avoid sun exposure for a minimum of 4 weeks before having laser treatments.

• Use sunscreen with SPF 30+ or higher when you are outdoors.

• Please note that we cannot treat your skin if you have been sunburnt or tanned recently as any colour change to your skin will severely affect the results of your laser treatment. You can get pigment changes to your skin which is darkening/ lightening spots/patches/areas on your skin. 

• If you have bleached your hair, you need to wait for the normal colour to regrow before having a laser hair removal treatment.

• If you are taking any photosensitive medications e.g. Roaccutane, you cannot do laser until you have seized the medication or at least 8 weeks.

• If you are on any other medications we urgently recommend that you check with your doctor if you can still get laser hair removal treatments.

​

Post care instructions

• After your laser treatment, you will apply aloe vera gel to the area/s to soothe the skin.

• Apply an ice pack if you feel a heat sensation, have swelling or red marks. These types of side effects will usually subside within a few hours. 

• You must avoid sun exposure for the next 4 weeks and ensure you apply a minimum of SPF30 sunscreen when you head out.

• For 24 hours, avoid all forms of exercise, steam rooms/saunas, swimming pools and jacuzzis. 

• For 24-48 hours avoid having hot baths and showers, the colder your shower the better.

• Apply aloe vera gel on the treated area as many times as you need for the next 2-3 days or longer to soothe and relax the skin. Tip: Put your aloe vera gel bottle in the fridge so that the next time you apply it, it will be cooler on the skin.

• After 48-72 hours, if your skin feels calm and is not irritated, start exfoliating your skin by using a good body scrub, preferably the ones we stock. We also recommend you purchase a good pair of exfoliating gloves and gently scrubbing in a circular motion which will help get rid of dead skin and ingrown hairs. 

• You will notice some of the treated hairs starting to fall off within 1-3 weeks, continue to exfoliate to help with this process.

• Remember to keep your skin hydrated by using a good moisturiser that is fragrance free.
