Introduction:
GentleLase treatments provide an efficient solution for unwanted hair. As with any aesthetic procedure, ensuring proper post-treatment care is crucial to maximise results and reduce potential side effects.

Immediate Aftercare (First 24-48 Hours):

1. Redness & Swelling: It's common to experience slight redness or swelling around the treated area. Applying a cold compress can help alleviate these symptoms.


2. Avoid Heat: Stay away from hot baths, saunas, or any other activities that produce significant heat, as they can exacerbate skin sensitivity.


3. Sun Protection: Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure. When outdoors, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.


4. No Rubbing: Refrain from rubbing or scrubbing the treated area.

Continued Care (Days 3 and Beyond):

1. Moisturise: Keep the skin moisturised with a gentle, non-comedogenic lotion.


2. Shedding: Some hairs may begin to shed post-treatment; this is a normal process. Let them fall out naturally.


3. Avoid Tweezing or Waxing: Do not tweeze, wax, or use any other hair removal methods on the treated area, as it can disrupt the hair growth cycle and reduce the efficacy of the treatment.


4. Gentle Skincare: Use mild soaps and skincare products to prevent irritation.

Potential Issues to Monitor:

1. Blistering: If you experience blistering, avoid popping or picking at them. Consult your practitioner immediately.


2. Prolonged Redness or Swelling: If symptoms persist beyond 72 hours, seek advice from your treatment provider.


3. Signs of Infection: Increasing redness, warmth, pus, or severe discomfort can indicate an infection. Seek medical attention promptly.

Follow-Up Appointments:
Attend all scheduled post-treatment sessions to achieve optimal hair reduction results. Discuss any concerns or unexpected side effects with your practitioner at these visits.
