Before Treatment

Before the treatment can start, we will assess your current state of the skin and structure of hair. Please allow additional 30 minutes for our Hair Removal Consultation. A test patch will be carried out prior to initial treatment to determine the optimal machine settings, tailored to your skin.

You will be required to give consent for treatment by signing the 'Informed Consent' form. This way, we can make sure that you can receive the E-Light treatment and have no present conditions which are contraindicated with this procedure.

Please note that recent sun exposure or the application of self-tanners is contraindicated.

During Treatment

At the start of the procedure, your Skin Therapist will apply a cooling gel to your treated area. The E-Light treatment is delivered by a hand-held device, which is used to trace over the treated area(s). The combination of IPL and RF damages any active hair follicles, preventing them from growing hair back.

You will experience quick warm or hot flicks or stings as the light is applied to your skin, but these are only quick and won't leave lasting pain or discomfort. A brief prickling and mild stinging sensation can sometimes be present, too, depending on your skin's sensitivity to pain.

After Treatment

The results of E-light therapy are immediate; there is no downtime associated with this treatment.

Actively growing hair that's been treated with E-Light should not grow back as its follicles have been damaged. However, the hair follicles that were not in the active growth phase will need to be treated, which is why several follow-up treatments will be required.

Specific aftercare products may be required; your Skin Therapist will provide a detailed information sheet on aftercare.

Post treatment, avoid extremely hot showers, wearing tight clothing, sweating and physical activity, and excessive sun exposure; this is avoid a delayed thermal activity. You must wear sunscreen while outdoors to protect the skin.
