----------
Q: I’ve had a couple treatments with Depilar System and I don’t see a difference?
Answer: The Depilar System only treats hair that is visible and in the anagen or growth phase. Each hair growth cycle must be treated separately and, depending on the area treated, 4-5 treatments may be required before a visible result.
----------
Q: I just started the Depilar System and am seeing more hair, not less?
Answer: Often a temporary increase in hair growth occurs following the first treatments as the body is reacting to the hair removal process. Removing hair by the root can reset the anagen phase for hair producing cells. Dormant hair producing cells are activated and will allow for increased efficacy for subsequent treatments and even more visible results.
----------
Q: Is there anything I should do after a Depilar System treatment?
Answer: Yes. Do not shower or bathe for 45 minutes after treatment. It is also advised to perform an exfoliation or dry brushing of the treated area 4-5 days post-treatment.
----------
Q: Are there restrictions to sun exposure after Depilar System a treatment?
Answer: After any waxing or sugaring treatment sun exposure should be avoided for 24 hours, giving the skin a chance to recuperate. And as always, be sure to wear sunscreen, avoid the sun at noon and don’t stay in the sun too long!
