✔A sunscreen of SPF 40 or greater should be used when exposed to the sun for several months before and after your treatment, or as long as you plan to continue treatment.
✖You must avoid electrolysis, bleaching, plucking or waxing hair for 4-6 weeks prior to treatment. The melanin-containing hair must be present in the follicle as it is the "target" for the laser.

✔Exfoliate the treated area 2 weeks after your session, up until your next appointment
