Preparing for Your Treatment

Preparation is essential for achieving the best results from your laser hair removal sessions. Before your appointment, please ensure that:

  • No waxing, tweezing, creams, epilating or bleaching to the area for 4 weeks prior.
  • No fake tan to the area at time of treatment.
  • No sun exposure to the area for 2 – 4 weeks prior.
  • No sunburn to the area for 4 – 6 weeks prior.
  • No Microdermabrasion to the area for 1 week prior.
  • No Dermal Peels to the area for 1 week prior.
  • No Microneedling to the area for 2 weeks prior.
  • No Laser Hair Removal to the area for 4 weeks prior.
  • For body areas, please shave the area 12 – 24 hours prior to your appointment. For your first appointment, please leave a small patch, for the technician to assess.
  • For facial areas, please do not shave prior to your appointment.

 

Aftercare for Optimal Results

Redness and swelling of the skin is common and can last up to 48 hours after your treatment. To ensure the skin is protected, it is important that only SILK Skincare is used on the treatment area.

  • SILK Soothing Gel, must be applied for a minimum of 3 days after your treatment, morning and night, in place of any other moisturiser.
  • SILK Skin Cleanser, must be used to cleanse the treatment area for a minimum of 3 days after your treatment.
  • SILK Face & Body Scrub, must be used 2 times each week starting a week after your treatment.
  • SPF must be applied to all treatment areas (we recommend our SILK Matte Sunscreen SPF 50+) and sun exposure must be avoided at all times.
  • It is recommended that only mineral makeup is applied to the skin for the first 3 days after laser treatment.
  • Avoid excessive physical activity, hot showers, pools, spas and saunas for up to 48 hours post treatment.
  • When treating underarms, deodorant must not be applied for 12 hours post treatment.
