changes induced may appear minor, and not the dramatic effects that they
may have visualised. By reviewing pre- and post-treatment photographs there
will be a more noticeable improvement for the client.
Treatment Tips:
•
Ensure skin has no suntan and use of fake tanning products is avoided
•
When treating ensure that the handpiece is perpendicular (90
O
) to the
target area
•
Wax, sugar or pluck hairs in the area to be treated prior to treatment to
avoid unwanted hair removal.
•
If there is a strong reaction immediately post treatment, cool the area
with an ice pack or similar cooling product. (i.e. frozen bag of peas or
cold flannel)
•
For any treatment that involves the stimulation of new collagen growth
any use of Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory products should be avoided
(for example, Aloe Vera Gel and Ibuprofen) for at least a week before
and after treatment
•
It is advisable that clients do not smoke for 2 hours before and after the
treatment. This is due to cigarette smoking causing a reduction in the
bodies capacity to carry oxygen and due to its vaso-constricting
properties
•
Ensure the client is well hydrated
8.7 Client Management – Adverse Reactions
It is very rare that severe adverse reactions occur with use of Intense Pulsed
Light systems. However, it is extremely important that each clinic has a
procedure to follow in the case of any such adverse incidents occurring.
Adverse reactions can range from severe burning, blistering, swelling,
hives/rashes and in very severe cases anaphylaxis. Whatever the adverse
reaction, it is very important that the client is attended to promptly and is
properly advised.
