1. Prepare Your Skin
Before starting the laser treatment, shave the area you wish to treat. This helps the laser energy directly target the hair follicles without burning the surface hair. Do not wax or pluck before using the device, as the laser needs hair roots to be effective.
2. Adjust the Device Settings
ViQure EpiPro is designed for different skin and hair types, so it’s important to consult the user manual before use. The device features multiple settings, such as:
- Energy Levels: Adjust based on your comfort and skin sensitivity.
- Treatment Modes: Some devices have automatic and manual pulse modes for different body areas.
- Pulse Duration: Determines how long the laser stays on each follicle.
3. Perform a Patch Test
Before treating a larger area, conduct a patch test on a small section of your skin. This ensures that your skin reacts well to the laser without excessive irritation, redness, or discomfort. If you experience severe side effects, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. If your skin reacts well, you can proceed with the full treatment.
4. Begin the Treatment
Once you have determined the right settings:
- Place the ViQure EpiPro device on the target area.
- Press the button to emit the laser pulse.
- Move the device slowly across the treatment area, ensuring even coverage.
- Avoid using the device on areas with tattoos or open wounds, as laser energy can cause burns, scarring, or pigmentation changes.
5. Repeat the Treatment for Optimal Results
Laser hair removal is not a one-time process. For best results, follow the recommended treatment schedule outlined in the user manual. Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to target all hair follicles effectively. Be sure to maintain the correct interval between treatments for safe and effective results.
6. Post-Treatment Care
After using the ViQure EpiPro laser device, follow these essential skincare steps:
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Direct sunlight can cause irritation and hyperpigmentation after laser treatment. Use sunscreen or cover treated areas when outdoors.
- Moisturize: Apply a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to calm any redness or irritation.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Do not use exfoliants, retinol, or strong acids on treated areas for a few days.
