Like every treatment there are side effects associated with them if contraindications are not properly assessed. Hence, the comprehensive skin consultation process at Lawnton Laser Clinic is in place to minimise these effects giving you a refreshed post treatment feeling. Apart from some redness (erythema) and swelling (odema) which are desired end points for each IPL/laser hair removal treatment (to ensure the hair follicle is damages as needed) you should not feel pain or heavy discomfort post treatment. You are then asked to simply follow a set of instructions such as being away from the sun, using sunscreen (SPF50+), wear loose clothing etc to help your skin recover in a timely manner for your next laser treatment session. Its a commitment and well worth the journey. You will also get a preparation guide at your consult to ensure you are ready for your treatment every time.
