LASER HAIR REMOVAL
PRE & POST TREATMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Welcome To Pure Lux Medspa
We look forward to meeting you and being a part of your hair-free journey. You are going to love it!
Below you will find your pre- treatment and post-treatment instructions.
PRE TREATMENT INTRUCTIONS
-
SHAVING
Shave the area being treated within 48 hours of your appointment.
FACIAL HAIR
If you do not feel comfortable shaving (we understand it can be a scary place to shave) you can leave it be and your technician will trim it for you, or you may clip, trim or buzz the hairs.
BIKINI
Please shave only the hair you would like to have treated. Any hair that you wish to keep, please leave a little length. This will help guide your laser technician for perfect lines and results
-
SUN EXPOSURE
For best results, we would like for your skin to be its most natural color. Please avoid the following 4-8 weeks prior to your treatment.
+ Sun Exposure
+ Tanning Beds
+ Spray Tanning
+ Tinted Lotions
If you are currently holding any unnatural pigment or tan in your skin, please advise your provider at your treatment. She will do a few extra test spots to ensure that you will get a safe and effective treatment.
-
lotions
Please have clean and clear skin at your appointment. A fresh application of lotion can reflect energy and compromise your results.
We will remove make-up and deodorant at your treatment, however they can be re-applied immediately after your treatment.
Note: Minnesotans know dry skin! If your appointment is in the afternoon, you may apply lotion in the morning. It will have absorbed into your skin by your treatment time.
POST TREATMENT INTRUCTIONS
-
results
Your hair is going to shed within 1-3 weeks. When the redness is gone, it is recommended to exfoliate with a soft loofah. This will help the dead hairs out of the follicle.
-
heat
Avoid hot showers, hot tubs, steam rooms, hot yoga, or any hot environment for a minimum of 48 hours or until the redness is gone. Your skin will feel like a slight sunburn and it’s important to keep your skin cool and comfortable.
-
ALOE
Aloe works the best for post soothing of skin. You may apply as needed. You may also use an ice pack if you feel heat within the skin. Avoid lotions with perfumes and fragrances as they can inflame your skin and cause unwanted irritation.
