  • (BBL™) / LASER HAIR REMOVAL Pre- and Post-Care Instructions
    Broad Band Light (BBL™) / LASER HAIR REMOVAL Pre- and Post-Care Instructions Please read the following carefully, as this information will prepare you for BBL / Laser Hair Removal, what to expect, and how to care for the treated area. PRE - LASER INSTRUCTIONS 1. Shave the site/s to be treated the evening before each treatment session. (Avoid waxing for 2 weeks before and throughout treatment course – as waxing diminishes laser target.) 2. Also, minimize sun exposure, as best as possible, for at least 1 month before and after treatment. Wear protective clothing (hat, etc.) and a high SPF (at least SPF 30) sunblock to protect the treated area/s from direct sun exposure. 3. Also, do not use aspirin, aspirin containing medications or alcohol for at least 1 week before and for the first 2 days after treatment. Take Tylenol or another pain reliever which contains no aspirin or ibuprofen, if needed. 4. Apply EMLA / ELA-Max / Topicaine (or other topical anesthetic) at least 1 hour before treatment under saran wrap, if needed. WHAT TO EXPECT ♦ BBL/Laser-treated hairs will still be visible / present after your treatment. However, they are now injured or destroyed at the level of the hair follicle (“root”) and will soon fall out (usually, within the next 2-5 days up to 2 weeks). ♦ The treated area may redden and/or swell somewhat. A mild sunburn sensation may be noticed for up to several hours after treatment. This is caused by the BBL/laser energy, and represents inflammation, and not infection. It is normal and expected part of healing process.

  • Pre-Treatment Instructions: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photorejuvenation
    Pre-Treatment Instructions: Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Photorejuvenation v Discontinue ALL deliberate sun exposure, sun tanning, use of tanning beds, and the application of sunless tanning products at least one month (4 weeks) before your first treatment and throughout the treatment course. Failure to do so will increase the possibility of complications significantly. v Always use a sunblock with an SPF 30 or greater on exposed areas and reapply liberally every 2 hours while outdoors. Wear protective clothing and seek the shade! v Please reschedule your appointment if you have a sunburn or any kind of tan, including natural, spray, lotion, etc. v Discontinue the use of exfoliating creams such as Retin-A, Differin, Glycolic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid products 1 week prior to and during the entire treatment course, unless otherwise directed. v Discontinue aspirin products 10 days before your treatment as well as ibuprofen and vitamin E supplements 5 days before. Failure to do so may decrease the effectiveness of your treatments and may result in increased bruising and redness. v If you have a history of cold sores/herpes flares in the areas to be treated, please let Dr. Cunningham and her staff know. An anti-viral medication can be prescribed to prevent severe outbreaks during your treatment. v After your treatment, you will need to have: o A mild facial cleanser. o A high quality SUNBLOCK with an SPF 30 or greater. o A good moisturizer available for your after-care. We can recommend products for you, if needed. o Reusable ice/gel pack, which you will get from our office after your treatment.

  • Laser Hair Removal
    DSL (IPL) LASER: LASER HAIR REMOVAL Dermatology Associates of Central New Jersey 3548 Route 9 South, Old Bridge, NJ 08857 Dermatologyassociatesnj.com If you have any questions regarding your procedure, please reach us at 732-679-6300 An Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment is a laser that utilizes both radio frequency and light to achieve hair removal. The laser works by pulsing light into the hair follicle, where the light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft, which will then dissipate the heat into the follicle. This laser will only work on dark pigmented hair, the laser works by absorbing the melanin in the hair root to heat it to destruction. Blonde, gray, or red hair will not have the same absorption and will be ineffective. It is also important to remember that the body has dormant or inactive follicles that can be triggered later in life, due to things like stress or menopause, therefore, we can’t guarantee the hair will be gone indefinitely. After each session, you should see a noticeable difference in hair density and less hair growth. Best results can be seen in 6 sessions, with touch ups at 6 months or 1 year. Patients can expect to achieve about 80% of hair reduction, although every patient is different. This laser is best suited for lighter skin tones, please check with the provider to see if you would be a good candidate. You should schedule your appointment every 4 weeks for facial areas, 6 weeks for the torso, and 8 weeks for below the waist.
