​
Some slight soreness, small bumps and redness are common and perfectly normal, temporary reactions, especially if this is your first trim. This should settle over the next 24 - 48 hours but please get in touch if you have any concerns.
​
Keep the treated area cleaned and avoid heat and friction during the next 24-48 hours:
​
-
No hot baths, saunas and showers must be lukewarm / cool water only.
-
No tanning (sunbathing, sunbeds or fake tans).
-
No sport, swimming, gym work or other vigorous exercise.
-
No scratching or scrubbing the treated area.
-
No deodorants, body sprays, make up, powders or lotions on the treated area, other than those recommended by your therapist.
-
Do wear clean, loose fitting clothes.
-
Do use clean towels after bathing / showering.
-
Do apply an antiseptic cream regularly for the next few days to soothe and protect the skin. Always wash your hands before applying any product.
-
Do apply a sunblock on exposed areas of newly bare skin before heading outside.
​
To prevent ingrown hairs: starting a few days after your appointment, gently exfoliate the skin up to 3 times a week using a body mitt, brush or scrub.
Moisturise the area every day to keep the skin supple and help new hairs grow through normally.
​
The first few times you get trimmed, you might notice a small amount of regrowth after a week or so.
It can take several treatments for your hair to get on a cycle that gives best results.
Hair needs to be at least 2mm long to trim, so please don't shave, tweeze or use hair removal creams between appointments.
To maintain your smooth appearance, we recommend regular upkeep every 4-6 weeks.
