PREPARE PROPERLY. RECOVER COMFORTABLY.
Pre & Post-Treatment Care
Following the correct preparation and aftercare helps BareWolf® treat you safely, comfortably and effectively. Your therapist may provide additional instructions based on your skin, treatment area and medical history.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
In the weeks before treatment
Do not wax, pluck, thread or epilate the treatment area. The hair follicle must remain intact for laser treatment.
Avoid tanning and unnecessary sun exposure. Tell us if the area has been sunburnt, recently tanned or exposed to significant sun.
Stop using fake tan on the treatment area and ensure it has been completely removed before your appointment.
Tell BareWolf about any medications, supplements, medical conditions or recent changes to your health. Some medications and skincare ingredients can increase sensitivity to light or affect whether treatment should proceed.
Tell us about tattoos, cosmetic tattooing, broken skin, rashes, infections, cold sores or unusual skin changes within the treatment area.
THE DAY BEFORE TREATMENT
Shave the treatment area thoroughly unless your therapist has instructed you differently. Do not wax or remove the hair from the root.
A close shave allows the laser energy to target the follicle beneath the skin while reducing unnecessary heat at the surface.
TREATMENT DAY
Arrive with the area clean and free from:
Deodorant
Moisturiser
Oils
Fragrance
Fake tan
Makeup or cosmetic products
Wear clean, loose-fitting clothing where possible, particularly when treating intimate areas, the chest, back, underarms or legs.
Tell your therapist about any changes since your consultation—including new medication, recent sun exposure, tanning, skin irritation or previous treatment reactions.
IMMEDIATELY AFTER TREATMENT
Temporary warmth, redness or small raised areas around the follicles can occur following laser treatment. Your therapist will apply appropriate aftercare and explain what to expect.
For the first 24–48 hours, or until the skin has settled, avoid:
Hot showers and baths
Swimming and chlorinated pools
Spas, saunas and steam rooms
Scrubbing, exfoliating or rubbing the area
Strenuous exercise and excessive sweating
Fragranced products, harsh cleansers and active skincare
Tight clothing that creates heat or friction
Unnecessary sun exposure
Use only the aftercare recommended by your BareWolf therapist. Keep the area clean, comfortable and protected.
Between Treatments
You may shave between appointments once the skin has settled.
Do not wax, pluck, thread or epilate the treated hair. Removing it from the root can interfere with your next laser treatment.
Protect exposed treatment areas from UV using clothing, shade and broad-spectrum SPF50 or SPF50+ sunscreen. Follow the product directions and reapply as required.
Hair may appear to grow for several days before naturally shedding. Do not force it out by plucking or aggressive exfoliation.
Your next appointment will be scheduled according to the treatment area, hair-growth cycle and your individual response. Treatment intervals can change as your results progress.
