Avoid cosmetic treatments such as muscle relaxants for two weeks before and two weeks after your laser procedure.
Laser treatments are not always recommended for pregnant women; please check with your Doctor or Skin Therapist about whether the treatment is suitable for you.
Laser treatments are not recommended in these circumstances:
- If you have active cold sores in the treatment area.
- If you have sunburnt or recently tanned skin.
- If you have keloid scarring, connective tissue disease, immuno-suppression or auto-immune disorders, vitiligo, or uncontrolled diabetes.
Prior to your procedure, please ensure your make-up is removed. Avoid any irritants to your skin such as any products containing retinol, benzolyl peroxide, glycolye/salicylic acids, or astringents for one
week before your treatment
The amount of downtime you need to take will vary depending on the strength of the treatment you receive. Gentler treatments involve minimal downtime with more subtle results, while stronger laser treatments require more downtime (up to several days) with greater results.
After your treatment, avoid direct sun exposure, apply only your prescribed topical skincare, avoid exercise for 24 hours, and ensure your skin remains clean and protected at all times for optimal results
Following pre- and post-treatment care guidelines will help optimise your results. Our Doctors or Skin
Therapists will walk you through any contraindications or side-effects that might impact you.
