When it comes to investing in yourself, you want to make sure that you’re getting the best of the best, right? Why should laser hair removal be any different? Thérapie Clinic offers the gold standard of laser hair removal treatment, having been named the number one clinic in Europe for aesthetics treatments. We know you take results seriously, which why we’re committed to delivering them.

To ensure you get the most out of your treatments, Thérapie Clinic asks you to adhere to the following dos and don’ts of laser hair removal …

Before laser hair removal
Firstly, before you undergo any laser treatment at Thérapie Clinic, you must not expose the treated area to the sun or a sun bed. A sunscreen of SPF 30, or preferably a total sun block of SPF 50, should be applied whenever exposure to the sun is unavoidable. In the event that you have been extensively exposed to the sun prior to treatment, your appointment will be rescheduled to three weeks later – something to keep in mind if you’re booking any holidays!

You must avoid plucking, waxing or bleaching the hair for six weeks prior to treatment. Preserving the root and the pigment of the hair is imperative for the success of the laser treatment, as the laser only works if there is hair in the follicle.

It is important to shave the area to be treated the day or night before your appointment. Doing this will prevent thermal injury to the surface of the skin as there won’t be hair on the surface to absorb the laser’s energy. It will allow the laser to go directly to the hair follicle. It will also let the skin heal in case the surface is cut whilst shaving.

During laser hair removal
During the procedure certain safety considerations are important. The patient and any other person in the laser room needs protective eye wear to prevent the risk of damage to the retina. A jet of cool air is used with the laser to minimise epidermal damage and increase patient comfort.

After laser hair removal
Immediately following treatment, the area may show erythema (redness and some swelling) around the follicles which looks similar to large goose bumps.

Around 2 or 3 weeks after a laser hair removal treatment 10 to 20% of the treated hairs will fall out. During the healing phase, the area must be treated delicately. Do not rub or scratch. Apply a thin layer of aloe vera ointment to the treated area several times a day to keep it moist. Pat the area dry. Do not shave the area if is swollen or crusting.

Discomfort or stinging may be relieved with Paracetamol. Do not take Ibuprofen or Aspirin as these medicines may react to the laser light. Avoid sports and strenuous exercise for two days following the treatment for laser hair removal (walking is fine though!)

Avoid very hot baths, showers, steam baths or saunas, and don’t swim in strong chlorinated water for two or three days. Don’t use bleaching creams or perfume products for 24 to 48 hours. Avoid exfoliating or peels for one week. Try to avoid wearing tight clothing for two or three days. Our experts at Thérapie Clinic will provide you with a full post-treatment plan which will address any further queries.

As the old saying goes, prevention is better than cure. Preventative anti-wrinkle injections are the words on everyone’s lips within the beauty world at the moment, as influencers share their methods of wrinkle prevention across social media.

You can beat the clock by investing in a course of anti-wrinkle injections at the first sign of fine lines. As fine lines and wrinkles are caused by the contraction of muscles and repetitive folding of the skin, by inhibiting the movement of certain muscles — and training the face to avoid them from an early age, even as the product wears off — can slow wrinkles in their tracks. It’s no wonder that the procedure is proving to be a hit with 20 somethings.

Ok, but what exactly are anti-wrinkle injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections – more commonly referred to as anti-wrinkle injections – anti-wrinkle injections is injected into localised areas of the skin in extremely small concentrations and it works by blocking nerve signals in the muscles where it is injected. When those nerve signals are interrupted, the affected muscle is temporarily relaxed, and the skin becomes smoother. Without movement of these selected muscles in the face, wrinkles become softer in appearance and fines lines are reduced. Some are actually removed completely leading to a more rejuvenated and refreshed look.

With continued treatment, lines and wrinkles will appear less prominent with time as the muscles shrink and becoming less contracted.

When should I start?
Whenever you decide to start your anti-wrinkle journey with Thérapie Clinic is entirely up to you.
Regular treatments mean the muscle stays relaxed, and wrinkles are kept at bay.

Effects are apparent from 10 to 14 days post-treatment and dosage can be controlled for an ultra-targeted, natural result.

The procedure itself is quite straightforward and takes only minutes. A fine needle is used to inject the targeted facial muscle. At Thérapie Clinic, our medical team, with 17 years experience, have a deep understanding of facial aesthetics in both women and men, which means we can help you to achieve a well-rested look that is above all, natural.
