For immediate relief, cool under cold running water or apply icepacks to reduce heat in the skin.
Apply a cooling gel to keep your skin cool.
Avoid excessive sun exposure for at least 2 weeks.
Apply SPF 50+ daily to sun exposed areas between treatments.
If face is treated use only mineral based makeup for 48hrs after treatment.
Your treated areas may be temperature sensitive
Wash areas with cold or tepid water.
Take luke-warm showers only.
The skin on your treated areas may be red

Using AHA, BHA or Vitamin A products

Activities that cause excessive perspiration
Small red itchy bumps may appear -this is a heat rash. Cool under cold running water or apply ice packs to reduce heat in the skin.
If itching persists, ask your local pharmacist to recommend an antihistamine cream.
In rare cases, you may observe blistering. Do not pick at the area – this can cause scarring.
If healing is delayed, ask your local pharmacist or doctor.
Allow any crusting to heal naturally – this normally takes 3-14 days.
‘Stubble’ may appear between 1-4 weeks. This is not hair re-growth but the treated hairs being purged from the follicle.
Allow this hair to fall out of the skin on its own.
Gentle exfoliation may help this process.
New hairs may start to grow, these are hairs that were in the ‘rest’ phase, which lasts 1-6 months, which are now active and is why multiple treatments are usually needed. If you experience prolonged redness, swelling, infection or any other disturbance to the treated skin contact your clinic. In some cases we may advise you to contact your GP.

How long does my hair have to be for me to be able to get waxed?
Your hair needs to be ¼ inch long, (size of a grain of rice), at least a minimum of two weeks growth from your last hair removal.
