It is crucial to avoid sun exposure and solariums for at least four weeks prior to therapy and throughout the entire course of treatment. Any form of exposure can raise the risk of skin burning, blistering, and pigment alterations, including post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. Additionally, it is crucial to avoid using fake tans prior to treatment and to ensure that the treatment region is clear of any artificial pigments, including makeup, on the day of your visit.

Anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and anti-fungal characteristics make the SILK Soothing Gel a must-have for all laser clients. The SILK Soothing Gel should be administered to the treatment region at least twice daily for seven days after your procedure. You should also carry it to your appointments, as you will want to use it liberally during the day of your procedure.

A protective dressing may also be applied to the treatment area to prevent it from rubbing against garments and getting inflamed. For this reason, we recommend that you wear loose attire to your appointments.
It is also recommended that you apply ice to the treatment region for 10 minutes every 30 minutes for at least 5 hours following the procedure. This will drastically lessen the likelihood of post-treatment blistering, which is typically caused by inadequate cooling. If a blister develops, DO NOT pop it or drain the fluid; instead, allow it to heal on its own, since any intervention may result in scar tissue, which can negatively effect treatment outcomes.

Avoid hot showers, baths, pools, spas, steam, sauna, and excessive activity for at least 48 hours after treatment, or until the treated regions no longer feel warm and/or irritated.

During your consultation, your technician will present you with comprehensive post-treatment care instructions.

We recommend a minimum of 6 sessions to 10 sessions for best results.
