V-IPL
-
Transient erythema/edema may appear immediately post-treatment, and typically resolves within 24-48 hours.
-
There is a small risk of changes in the texture and pigmentation of the skin, which are also usually transient. In a case of a more serious adverse response such as blistering, swelling, scarring, or long-lasting changes in pigmentation, be sure to contact the esthetician immediately.
-
Do NOT partake in hot baths, aerobic exercise, rough sports, massage, etc. during the next 5 days.

Maintain high hygienic measures of the treated area.

Do NOT tan during the next 14 days (including creams). Use high factor SPF (30+) for at least one month.

Makeup can be applied immediately post-treatment. In the case that the treatment site scales or cakes, stop wearing makeup.

Note that hormonal changes in the body, exposure to sunlight, genetics, and other external and internal factors may induce the reappearance of symptoms treated.

It is highly recommended to moisten the skin post phototherapy treatments.
-
In hair removal treatments, 2-3 weeks post-treatment hair growth should be reduced and you should be able to pull the hair out more easily.
-
In pigmentation and skin rejuvenation treatments, gradual clearing of the lesions may take a few months. The lesion will gradually darken for up to 14 days and eventually exfoliate after the treatment. This is a desirable outcome, and skin should NOT be pulled but allowed to shed naturally.

In vascular treatments, the capillaries may change to a grayish color. One of the indications of an effective treatment is the darkening of the capillaries post 24 hours.

If blistering or ulcerated skin occurs, contact the esthetician immediately, as this is a rare reaction.
