1. Sun-tanning and indoor tanning are strictly forbidden!
If you have a recently acquired tan, you cannot have permanent hair removal for at least three months.

whitening cream for 2~4 weeks before actual treatment.
3. Shaving is prohibited during the week preceding the procedure

light to destroy the root of hair; the laser cannot work on hairless follicles (If you have plucked your hair, wait at least 4 weeks to have procedure).

that were either missed or were out of their growth cycle will be re-treated with laser to completely eliminate unwanted hair.

It is a permanent hair removal technique using an insulating needle which has been officially recognized by the Japanese Medical Hair Removal Association. A specially designed insulating needle is used to selectively destroy the follicles without burning the epidermis.
Insulating needle is inserted into each and every follicle to pass an electric current through the hair root to destroy root and eliminate hair.
This hair removal method is based on the principle that once the origin of hair, the root, is destroyed, hair will never grow back again.
Since every strand of hair is eliminated one by one, it is more thorough than laser permanent hair removal. However, treatment is complicated and time-consuming.
1. Hair should not be plucked or cut for at least a month preceding the procedure
(If hair is shorter than 0.5 cm, procedure may become tricky because the needle won¡¯t go in and it will be difficult to tell the direction of the follicle.)
2. A light shower is O.K. after procedure, but in order to prevent folliculitis,
swimming or sauna should be avoided for a week.
