1.Always arrive cleanly shaven and showered in the area(s) you are treating. Do not shave your face if you are currently not shaving that area, please leave the hair as is. No waxing or tweezing a week prior to your appointment is helpful if possible. 2. Wash off any lotions or make-up and this includes: self-tanning lotions, tinted moisturizers and shimmer/sparkle lotions. It is recommended to avoid self-tanning lotions for 2-4 weeks prior to your appointment. If tanning lotions are present on your skin we will reschedule your appointment for your own safety. 3. Make sure you do not have a sun tan in the area you plan to laser. You must be out of the sun for a minimum of two weeks before and two weeks after you laser to ensure the best results. You must apply SPF 30 or higher on the area lasered after your treatment. 4. Safety is important and some medications conflict with laser treatments so be prepared to share information about your prescriptions. 5. Please remember this process requires a series of treatments. Everyone is a little different, so there is range in the number of treatments required, and it is very likely, even with a highly skilled technician that you may need to return for touch ups.
