About the Treatment

    • The Pretty Please Clinic uses the Candela GentleMax Pro® which is designed to treat all skin types and colours.

    • The laser machine uses a concentrated beam of light to target the hair follicles. The pigment in your hair follicle absorbs the light and heat, damaging the follicle enough to discourage further hair growth and causing the hair to fall out.

    • The Candela laser machine uses a large spot size which allows multiple hair follicles to be targeted at the same time.

    • Laser hair removal can only treat your hair during the growth phase. For best results, it is important to remain consistent during your Laser Hair Removal journey.

    • Our machine also comes with a cooling device to protect the skin and make your experience near pain-free.

  • Pre-treatment

    • Avoid direct sunlight. Allow 2 weeks prior to your treatment if you have had sun exposure.

    • Shave the treatment area 12-24 hours before your appointment.

    • Skin must be clean and free of makeup, lotions, oils, deodorant, sunless tanning products, etc.

    Post-treatment

    • Avoid hot showers and exercise for 48 hours.

    • Mild redness and swelling of the hair follicles may occur which is normal. This will lessen with time. Avoid picking or scratching the skin. Cool cloths may be applied to the skin where is feels warm.

    • Avoid sun exposure for 7 days post treatment. Careful sun exposure of no more than 30 minutes may be resumed from days 7-14 post treatment with daily use of sunscreen (minimum SPF 30+).

    • Avoid tanning beds for 14 days post treatment.

    • Apply aloe vera to soothe any redness or sensitivity between days 1 - 3.

    • From day 5, use a body exfoliant 1 - 2 times per week. This will allow the hair follicles to loosen and assist with smoother feeling skin.
