IPL SHR Hair Removal Treatments

Please be aware that to undergo any treatment at Aesthet Studio you must agree with Aesthet Studio's disclaimer located in Disclaimer.

Consultation

It is compulsory for treatment clients to have an extensive consultation first:

  • Recording all medical history and conditions.

  • Assess if the treatment is appropriate for you.

  • Explain the process and what to expect.

  • Detail pre and post treatment care instructions.

  • Perform a test patch (this will allow you to feel the treatment on your skin so we can see how you respond).

Because certain health conditions, medications, supplements and lifestyle factors may affect treatment, you will be required to complete an IPL Consent Form for qualified assessment prior to any treatment.

Pre-Treatment Care

In the lead up to your treatment ensure:

  • No fake tan 1-2 weeks prior to your treatment.

  • No sun exposure 4 weeks prior to your treatment (use SPF 30+ daily).

  • Please shave the area to be treated prior to your treatment (do not use tweezers or wax for 4 weeks prior to treatment - hair removal creams for sensitive skin are permitted).

  • Take anti-viral medication if you have had recent herpes close to the area.

Your aesthetician will take all steps to ensure total comfort for your treatment. If at any point you feel discomfort, please inform them immediately.

Post-Treatment Care

  • SPF 30+ sunblock is a must.

  • Apply a soothing skin lotion and use an SPF 30+ sunblock daily.

  • To help to detach hair perform mild exfoliation (granules or loofah) 7 days after treatment.

Exposure

Avoid exposing your treated skin to extremes of heat and cold.

Avoid direct sun exposure to the treated area for 1 month following the treatment (use SPF 30+ sunblock).

Cleaning

Avoid hot baths or showers. Only wash the treated area with mild soap and clean water.

Topical

Because the skin is very sensitive after the treatment, you must use an SPF 30+ sunblock for at least one month after the treatment. We suggest you continue using SPF ongoing to properly protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.

Avoid irritating the treated area by avoiding chemical skin products for 1-2 days post treatment. Some products contain harsh chemicals which should be avoided ongoing to prevent unwanted complications.

Only use a mild cleanser and a mild moisturiser after the treatment for a few days before resuming your normal skin routine. If desired, you may use makeup on the treated area, as long as the skin is not broken, blistered, or irritated.

Activities

Avoid aerobic exercise or massage for 48 hours following treatment.

Avoid heated yoga, saunas, pools, spas and getting over heated for 48 hours following treatment.
