Laser epilation (hair removal)

• Open wounds, active inflammation
• Active herpes
• Skin diseases in the acute phase
• A large number of birthmarks in the epilation area
• If you suffer from oncological diseases, diseases of the immune system, diabetes, epilepsy, HIV infection, prior consultation with your doctor and specialist is necessary.
• The procedure is not performed during antibiotic treatment (at least 1 month must have passed since the end of the treatment)
• At least 6 months must have passed since taking photosensitizing drugs (isotretinoin, retinoid drugs).
• The procedure is not performed during pregnancy and breastfeeding
• For those under 18 years of age, the procedure is performed only with the consent of a parent or guardian

Contraindications are relative, and the final decision about the procedure is made by a specialist during a personal examination and consultation immediately before the procedure.

• Shave the hair in the area to be epilated 1 day before the procedure (the length of the hair must not exceed 1-2 mm on the day of the procedure).
• At least 2 weeks before the procedure, avoid sunbathing, including in the solarium (risk of pigmentation).
• Avoid plucking and waxing during the course of laser epilation. At least 4 weeks must have passed since plucking and waxing.
• On the day of the procedure, avoid using cosmetics/creams in the area to be epilated.
• Since the laser beam works only on hairs in the active growth phase, the procedure must be repeated at intervals of 4-6 weeks. The procedure must also be repeated because one procedure alone is not enough to completely remove the hair.

• Redness of the skin may occur, which usually disappears within 2-4 hours.
• Avoid going to the sauna, hot tub, swimming pool for 24 hours after the procedure.
• At least 2 weeks after the procedure, avoid sunbathing, including in the solarium (risk of pigmentation).
