After any IPL or Laser treatment it is common for the area to feel slightly warm. You may also experience some redness, local swelling and mild tenderness. These symptoms may appear immediately afterward or a few days after treatment.

 

There may be scabbing after laser tattoo removal, laser thread vein removal or pigmentation treatment. Definitely no peeling scabs off or excessively touching the skin, spots, or scratching - the treated area should be left alone  as it can leave a scar or get infected.

​

• Use 100% Aloe Vera Gel as recommended directly after treatment or for a further few days if needed.

• An ice cold compress can be applied if the area feels hot or uncomfortable.

• A high SPF 30+ moisturiser should be applied on treated areas when outside for 4 weeks after treatment.  Excessive UV light exposure can cause either hypo or hyper pigmentation of the skin.

​

If you have had a facial is it good to:

​

• Use a clean pillowcase daily for several days;  

• Clean your mobile phone before using it;

• Clean make up brushes & sponges; and

• Don't touch the treated area.

​

for the next 48 hours after treatment:

​

• Avoid all heat treatments eg., steam room, saunas, hot tubs, hot baths or showers and no excessive exercise.

• Avoid all perfumed creams, soaps and lotions.  Use Aloe Vera Gel.

• Do not touch, peel or scratch the area especially after skin rejuvenation or facial thread veins.

• Avoid using any anti-inflammatory products for 7 days.

• Drink plenty of water to flush toxins from your body.

​

If the treated area is still sensitive please continue to follow the instructions above for a further 7 days.
