Pre-Care Instructions: Preparing for Your Nordlys IPL Treatment
1. Avoid Sun Exposure
(2-4 weeks prior)
Stay out of the sun as much as possible before your treatment, as sun exposure can increase the risk of skin irritation or burns. If you must be outside, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and wear protective clothing.
2. Avoid Tanning Products
(2 weeks prior)
Refrain from using self-tanning products or spray tans leading up to your treatment, as these can affect the results of the IPL laser.
3. Shave the Treatment Area
(24 hours before)
Shave the area to be treated the night before your appointment. The laser targets the hair follicle, not the hair on the skin’s surface, and shaving allows the light to penetrate more effectively. Do not wax, pluck, or epilate, as these methods remove the hair follicle and can disrupt the laser's ability to work.
4. Cleanse Your Skin
(Day of treatment)
Make sure the area to be treated is clean and free of any lotions, creams, or deodorants. Avoid applying makeup or other skincare products on the day of your session.
5. Avoid Certain Medications
Avoid photosensitive medications such as retinoids, antibiotics, or acne medications a few days before your treatment (consult with your doctor for specifics). These can make your skin more sensitive to the laser.
6. Avoid Chemical Peels or Exfoliation
Refrain from using chemical peels or exfoliating products like glycolic acid or retinoids on the treatment area for at least two weeks before your session.
Post-Care Instructions: Caring for Your Skin After Nordlys IPL Laser Treatment
1. Avoid Sun Exposure
(For at least 2 weeks post-treatment)
Your skin may be more sensitive to the sun after laser treatment, so continue to avoid direct sun exposure. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to protect the treated area if you need to be outdoors.
2. Soothe and Hydrate Your Skin
After treatment, your skin may feel slightly warm or appear red. Apply a soothing cream or aloe vera gel to reduce redness and irritation. Keeping your skin moisturized helps it recover more quickly.
3. Avoid Heat-Based Activities
(For 48 hours post-treatment)
Stay away from hot showers, saunas, or any heat-based activities that can irritate your skin after treatment. Also, avoid high-intensity workouts that may cause excessive sweating for 24-48 hours.
4. No Waxing, Plucking, or Tweezing
After your treatment, avoid any hair removal methods that disturb the hair follicle (such as waxing or tweezing). You may shave the area if needed between sessions.
5. Avoid Exfoliating or Harsh Skincare Products
For at least a week after your treatment, avoid using any harsh exfoliants, scrubs, or retinoid products on the treated area. Let your skin heal naturally, and use gentle skincare products.
6. Expect Shedding of Hair
Around 1-2 weeks after treatment, you may notice the treated hair starting to fall out. This is a normal part of the process. You can gently exfoliate the area to help with shedding, but avoid vigorous scrubbing.
7. Follow Your Treatment Schedule
For the best results, multiple sessions of Nordlys IPL hair reduction are recommended. Typically, treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on the area being treated. Make sure to follow your treatment schedule to achieve optimal long-term hair reduction.
