After IPL hair removal is there anything to avoid?
Sun exposure or deep tanning should be avoided for at
least 48 hours.
If the skin is exposed use a sunscreen. Also avoid using
abrasive cleansers or skin peeling treatments. Avoid
swimming in chlorinated water or using a hot tub for 48
hours. The chlorine in the water can result in itchiness.
How often should I repeat IPL hair removal treatment?
The timing for follow-on treatments is not critical. We
initially recommend treatments at 2-week intervals,
although some people like to treat the area every week
and others just once a month depending on personal
preference and on where the treatment area is. As long
as the hair follicle or surrounding skin is not red, sore or
inflamed, treatment can be repeated after a minimum of
48 hours. Avoid excessive treatment on the same region
at one time. This may cause reddening and swelling.
To maintain hair-free skin and to ensure disabled hair
follicles remain dormant, repeat the treatment every 4 to
6 weeks or as required.
Is there any aftercare routine I should follow?
If you wish, you can apply an unperfumed soothing lotion,
an ice pack or wet towel to cool the treated areas, though
we recommend not using soap on the treated areas for
24 hours. When treating the underarms, avoid using
antiperspirant deodorant for 2–3 days. Avoid unnecessary
sun exposure for 48 hours.
How many treatments will I need?
