Rapid DPC Pre & Post-Care

Avoiding intense sun exposure for at least two weeks before your treatment is essential as it can make your skin more sensitive.
Avoid depilating for at least 4 weeks prior to your first treatment. Do not depilate with: waxing, sugaring, plucking, threading or hair removal creams before and/or in between IPL treatments. Shaving is permitted and recommended.
Avoid using any tanning products, including spray tans or self-tanning lotions, before your treatment as they can interfere with the effectiveness of the treatment.
If you're using retinol or exfoliating products, stop using them at least 5 days before your treatment. Avoid getting microdermabrasion or peels for two weeks prior to your treatment.
If you're taking blood-thinning medication, consult with your doctor before your treatment as it may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding.
Shave the treatment area a day before your appointment. This can help to ensure the light reaches the targeted area more effectively.
Consult with your doctor: If you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking any medication, inform your doctor before your treatment.

By following these pre-care steps, you can help ensure the best results from your Rapid DPC treatments and minimize any potential side effects.

Sun exposure can increase the risk of complications and damage your skin after the treatment. Avoid intense sun exposure for at least two weeks after your treatment, and wear sunscreen daily.
Avoid hot baths, showers, and saunas for at least 24 hours after your treatment. Hot water can increase skin sensitivity and cause irritation.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours following treatment.
Avoid any exfoliating products, including scrubs, acids, or retinol, for at least 5 days after your treatment. This helps to prevent irritation and sensitivity that can make the treatment uncomfortable.
Moisturize your skin regularly after your treatment to help it heal properly and prevent dryness.
Avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after your treatment to minimize the risk of irritation and clogged pores.
Be gentle with your skin: Avoid rubbing, scratching, or picking at the treated area, as this can irritate the skin and delay healing.
