IPL & SHR Hair Removal

Before and After Care Plan

Hair Removal - Before and After Care Plan

Pre-IPL Hair Removal Preparation

Please shave the area no earlier than 24 hours prior to your appointment. It should be shaved as close as practicable. If it happens to be your first ever IPL treatment a small Patch Test will be carried out with your initial consultation to determine your hair type and reaction to the IPL treatment. The patch only needs to be around 1cm in size.

For G String & Bikini treatments, leave the hair you wish to remain in place. Try not to wax or tweeze the area to be treated the month before the appointment, the follicle needs to be in place to be impacted by the laser.

Wear comfortable clothing to your appointment, disposable G Strings, and everything else you need to prepare (if you’re running late to the appointment) are supplied for Intimate area treatments.

Avoid wearing make-up for facial treatments and deodorant for underarms on the day of your appointment if possible.

If you are pregnant or breast feeding you should avoid receiving a laser treatment.
