All hair is temporarily disabled during each treatment, none of the hair follicles are removed hence, a sequence of treatments is necessary in order for results to become apparent. The number of times needed also varies from person to person.
Slight redness and swelling lasting a few hours is common. In rare cases, discomfort or small red bumps may last up to two days.
It is strongly recommended to use sunblock SPF + 30 for 2 weeks after treatment. Do not irritate the skin by scrubbing, exfoliating, or taking hot water showers for 24 hours.
