mask any permanent or semi-permanent lip
liner on the lip margin.

cool compress may be soothing and a fragrance-
free moisturising cream can be applied.

changes in your skin (light or dark patches),

Advice for women
Treating the face, cheek and jaw.
A white eyeliner pencil can be used to mark out
the treatment area, treatment should be carried
out in a line from the ear, down the face and
follow the jaw line as shown.
If necessary additional lines of treatment may be
added until the required area has been covered.
Take care not to overlap treatment areas.
Treating the upper lip
Take additional care when treating hair on the
upper lip because the central area below the
nostrils is particularly sensitive.
Treating the neck and chin
Hair growth under the chin can be denser and
more coarse in nature and this can sometimes
lead to slight reddening in the skin following
a treatment. This redness is temporary and
should completely disappear after 24 hours.
When treating this area take care not to
overlap treatments because this can lead to
skin irritation.
