WHAT HAPPENS DURING MY TREATMENT?

---

We cleanse the area to be treated. With diathermy we use a very fine needle to prick the skin and then an ultra rapid radio frequency current is passed through the area which is heated and sealed. We then disinfect the area followed by an application of SPF. With IPL we use a safe and effect Intense Pulsed Light that converts into heat energy when absorbed by red or brown pigment. this deviced is glided over the skin with a gel for slip. Your might feel warm in the area of treatment with a mild zap sensation which is comfortable. After the treatmetn is performed the gel is removed and acooling gel or mask is applied following some SPF.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD I TAKE PRE AND POST CARE?

---

Pre treatment care: We recommend wearing a daily sunscreen prior to your treatment to protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays. If your skin is peeling or sunburnt, we recommend that you wait a few weeks for the peeling or burn to subside. Please do not use any prescription Vitamin A for 1 week prior to your treatment.

Post Treatment: We recommend no harsh acids or scrubs for at least 5 days post treatment. Your dermal therapist will guide you on a recommended skin care program for your skin concerns. Sunscreen must be worn for a minimum of 14 days post treatment to prevent post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation.

We always recommend the daily use of SPF 30 sunscreen to prevent the skin becoming sun damaged. Please apply at least once every two hours when out in the sun.
