The device is decided according to the hair and skin structure. After the procedure, control sessions are performed, and the device can be changed in case of hair loss and thinning. The number of sessions is also decided according to the skin and hair type of the person, but at least 8 sessions are recommended.

The treated area should not be exposed to water for at least eight hours after the procedures. Regardless of summer and winter, sunscreen should be used especially for the face area. It is necessary to start scrubbing and peeling one week after the procedures. Moisturiser should not be neglected. When moisturiser is not used, it causes wreckage. Laser is an application that dries the skin. It is therefore very important to moisturise the skin abundantly with intensive moisturisers.
