Facial treatment
Removing unwanted hair from the face is very different from removing unwanted hair from other
parts of the body. Please be sure to read this section thoroughly before starting to remove facial hair
with meˉ.
Why is hair removal from your face not like other body areas?
The hair on the face differs from other body areas in its physiology. Its growing cycles are different,
and its characteristics, such as thickness (vellus hair), colour and depth of follicle are different from
body hair.
The face is more sensitive to hair removal due to sensitivity of nerves in some of its areas.
The skin on the face and neck is more likely to be exposed daily to the sun’s UV radiation and
therefore may be more sensitive than other parts of your body.
Treating near your eyes can cause temporary discomfort, and therefore it is required to use
protective eyewear and treat only from your cheeks and down.
When you should not use meˉ on the face
•
If your skin type is 5 or 6 (approved for skin types 1-4 only).
•
If your facial skin is sunburned or tanned, wait until the sunburn or tan fades prior to performing
a test pulse on a hidden area. Evaluate the area after 3 days to ensure no side effects have
occurred and only then commence treatment.
•
If you have undergone any professional facial treatment (such as chemical peel, laser/light/radio
frequency treatment or injected dermal fillers) within the past 3 months.
