Shave as close to treatment time as possible, leaving a small patch with approximately 2mm or 2 days of hair growth for visual assessment.

Pre-care

It is important that the client avoids the following within a 30-60 day period prior to treatment:

For 7 days prior to the treatment

•    Do NOT use anti-inflammatory medications (including aspirin & ibuprofen, thread vein rosacea and high colour clients)

Please refrain from smoking 4 hours before treatment (thread vein, rosacea, and high colour only) Post Treatment Care

We would advise that you should do the following for the next 30-60 days after the Ellipse treatment.
•    Avoid sun exposure or sun beds
•    Wear at least a sun protection of 30 or higher when outside. (SPF30+)

You should avoid the following for the next 24-48 hours after the treatment.
•    No perfumed products or make-up
•    No excessive heat e.g. saunas, steam rooms or hot baths
•    No swimming or gym
•    No touching, picking or scratching the area
•    Avoid exfoliation

Please note: Pure Aloe Vera gel must be used for the next 48 hours after the treatment if any reaction persists.

•    Slight erythema/redness is seen immediately after the treatment and this will disappear in 1-2 hours or in some cases a few days.
•    The area around the vessels that were treated will become oedematous and the swelling can last for 4 days.
•    I advise to use 100% Aloe Vera gel at home for the next 24-48 hours to reduce this side effect.
•    Use a sunscreen with at least SPF30 on the area for the next 30-60days following treatment.
•    Any pigmentation in the area will turn darker after the treatment creating a light crust, a ‘dirty look’ and will slough off in the next 7-10days.
