Please follow the aftercare advice for laser hair removal.

• The treated area of skin may feel slightly tender and appear red and swollen afterwards. You may occasionally experience skin blistering and appearances may be similar to mild sunburn. These effects will resolve naturally and should be much improved after 48 hours but may take longer to settle. You may experience some minor bruising which may take 1-2 weeks to resolve in some cases. If you are concerned at any stage about the healing process you must contact your practitioner.

• Keep the area clean and dry for 48 hours after treatment.

• You must seek medical attention and contact your practitioner if you experience any signs or symptoms of infection after treatment. Infection can present as hot, red shiny skin, there may be pus formation and you may have a fever or feel generally unwell.

• You must contact your practitioner as soon as possible if you notice any other

  unwanted side effects.

• Your practitioner will advise when further treatment appointments are required. If you are advised to attend a follow up appointment, please do make every effort to attend them.
