Pre-Treatment Advice
Post-Treatment Advice
- Regular exfoliation prevents ingrown hairs and keeps skin looking healthy.
- Regular waxing helps the skin get accustomed to the procedure and may minimise irritation.
- Ideally hair should be between 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch in order for the wax to be able to remove them effectively.
Post-Treatment Advice
- Avoid heat treatments for at least 24 hours following waxing.
- Avoid the sun immediately after waxing.
- Do not use exfoliating products and loofahs for at least 24 hours after waxing as they may further irritate your skin.
- Avoid tight clothing after waxing as it may result in irritation and ingrown hairs.
IPL Hair Removal
|
Excess and unwanted hair can be an irritating problem for both men and women. Yet shaving, plucking, waxing or depilatory creams can only give short-term fixes! Crystal Clear Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL) is a scientific solution that provides safe, painless and effective permanent hair reduction.
Crystal Clear Intense Pulse Light therapy provides a gentle, non-evasive long-lasting solution to unwanted hair. Shaving, plucking, waxing or depilatory creams only give short-term solutions to hair removal; they can also be inconvenient, messy and harmful to your skin. Crystal Clear IPL is a scientific solution that provides safe, painless and effective permanent hair reduction. Intense Pulse Light Therapy can help you with:
A handset is placed onto the area that needs treatment and a light-based energy pulsates with a quick flash of light. This leaves the skin unharmed but destroys the hair follicle, removing hair and discouraging re-growth. Treatments are taken in four to eight week intervals, and a course of eight to ten treatments is recommended. |

IPL After Care Advice
If an adverse reaction was to occur apply cold compress or ice pack within 24 hours contact the salon ASAP
Undergoing an IPL treatment is an effective way of removing hair, but also for preventing future hair growth. The treatment utilizes specialized light to kill the hair follicles, which causes existing hair to fall out while stunting further growth. The laser does not damage the tissue surrounding these hair follicles, but your skin may react to this treatment. To keep your skin healthy after laser removal of your hair, use these simple tips to care for your skin.
Post-Treatment ReactionAs the light makes contact with your skin, the heat from the light will kill hair follicles. This heat will cause small red bumps to develop on your skin’s surface. This is a completely normal reaction, but it can be alarming to some people. Fortunately, the bumps will disappear within a day or two after your treatment.
The bumps may be itchy, but it is imperative that you do not scratch. Scratching the skin will increase inflammation even further, resulting in serious discomfort and possible scarring. If the small red bumps are causing you any discomfort, apply a cold compress to the area. Create an ice pack by bundling a few ice cubes into a plastic bag. Seal up the bag and hold on the affected skin for a few minutes. The ice will not only numb any discomfort you are experiencing, but it will also reduce the redness and possible swelling.
Post-Treatment CrustingAs the bumps disappear, you may notice that your skin feels excessively dry. In some instances, the bumps will dry out and begin to crust. Again, this is a common issue that occurs after a laser hair treatment, so there is no need to panic. Apply a healing ointment to these overly dry and crusty areas of your skin. A thin layer of petroleum jelly can be beneficial in these areas. Since petroleum jelly does not contain toxic chemicals, using it offers less risk of further irritation.
Post-Treatment CareAfter the initial reaction and crusting decreases, you should continue caring for your skin. Make sure to moisturise your skin periodically after your treatment. Consider using aloe vera gel to soothe inflamed skin while keeping it moisturized.
When you bathe or shower, be gentle when washing treated areas. Do not scrub treated areas with a wash cloth, body wash puff, or sponge. Use a soft microfiber cloth to gently wash areas of your skin. In addition, use a gentle body wash while bathing and showering. To smooth your skin, consider using a gentle exfoliating body wash.
IPL hair removal is a safe and effective option, but you must properly care for your underlying skin after the treatment.
- Don’t expose skin to UV (Sun, Sunbeds and fake tan) for at least 2 weeks
- Don’t shave for 48-72 hrs after treatment
- Don’t depilate(wax, pluck, threading, tweeze) between treatments
- Don’t use bleaching creams or perfumed products for 24 - 48hrs
- Don’t pick or scratch the area
- Avoid rough handling of the area
- Leave any skin response alone these are temporary and will subside
- Avoid very hot baths, steam treatments saunas for 1 week
- Avoid swimming for 1 week
- Avoid exfoliating, peels and Microdermabrasion for 1 week
- Avoid rough sports for 24-48hrs
- Avoid wearing tight clothing
- Keep the area clean and dry
