- Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds and tanning cream for 4 weeks before treatment and refrain from using these products throughout the course of your treatment.
- Please inform operators if you are taking anti-depressants or antibiotics prior to treatment to reduce any risk of photosensitivity.
- If you are having treatment on any area that has body hair, you may shave the area 2-3 days prior to treatment (this is optional, because this laser does not remove hair but do note that if unshaved, the hair will turn white during the treatment, (due to the absorption of the pigment in the hair) but will return to its original color as hair re-grows.
- DO NOT shave on the treatment day to reduce any risk of cuts or open wound or sensitivity to the skin surface.
- Do not bear with any kind of sun-burn type of heat sensation, always tell your operator if you experience any discomfort during treatment, so the energy can be adjusted to your individual pain tolerance. As the treatment progresses, you will be able to bear more energy used so a gradual tolerance to the discomfort is okay.
