Five Things That Make the Biggest Difference to Your Results
Shave 24 hours before every session — not wax, not cream. The device needs to target the follicle beneath the skin surface, not surface hair that absorbs the energy before it reaches the root.
Avoid sun exposure around treatment days — tanned skin increases the risk of reactions. Avoid sun 48 hours before and after each session and use SPF on treated areas.
Keep your session schedule consistent — spacing sessions correctly (typically every 2 to 4 weeks during the initial course) is crucial for catching hair in the right growth phase. Irregular sessions extend the time to results significantly.
Don’t expect instant results — most people see meaningful reduction after 4 to 6 sessions, with full results after the complete treatment course. This is a process, not a quick fix.
Do maintenance sessions — once your initial course is complete, occasional top-up sessions keep results lasting long-term. How often varies by individual.
