As the summer weather is upon you, it is easy to underestimate how much sun your skin is exposed to. If you are undergoing Silk'n SensEpil home hair removal treatments it is very important to remember that you must protect you and your skin from the harmful effects of the sun's rays.
Physicians recommend that patients undergoing any light based treatment series stay out of the sun for several weeks following treatment. Tanned skin and skin with sun exposure contains large quantities of the pigment melanin. The presence of large quantities of melanin exposes the skin to higher risk of adverse effects such as skin discoloration either by darkening the skin surrounding treated areas (hyper-pigmentation) or by lightening it (hypo-pigmentation).
- if you have recently used SensEpil avoid sunlight in the treated area.
- Stay covered and avoid prolonged exposure of the sun.
- Use broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreens with SPF 50 or higher.
- If you have had sun exposure wait until you resume treatment using your SensEpil unit. If you have concerns you may consider using test spots (where you flash once and wait 24 hours to see if there are any adverse effects such as redness or above normal heat sensation).
