Short answer: For the first 24 hours, keep the skin away from hot showers, saunas, steam rooms and friction; shield the treated area from direct sun; and avoid perfumed, alcohol-based or exfoliating products until the skin settles. Keeping to the planned interval between sessions directly affects the result.
The first 24 hours
Protect the skin from hot showers, sauna, hammam, intense exercise and friction. Keep the area cool and clean.
Sun protection
Keep the treated area out of direct sun; on exposed areas, reapply the high-factor product your specialist recommends.
Choosing products
Avoid perfumed, alcohol-based or exfoliating products until the skin has settled.
Session intervals
Stick to the interval planned for your hair cycle and treatment area; sessions that are early or irregular can affect results.
