    - About the Alpha treatments
    The Alpha treatments are based on Laser and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technologies. Laser and IPL are common phototherapy procedures which are used for a wide range of treatment indications, including hair reduction, pigmentation reduction, general skin rejuvenation, reduction of vascular lesions, acne reduction, and more.

    These procedures involve the application of concentrated light energy pulses onto the skin. The light energy is absorbed by different components within the tissue and converted into thermal energy. The heat that is generated during the procedure can damage the target without harming the surrounding healthy skin and can therefore reduce the appearance of the lesion/s. 

    Since the treatment is based on generating heat within the skin, some mild to moderate discomfort is expected during the treatment. Local erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) are common and 

    expected reactions immediately after the treatment, and should resolve spontaneously within a few hours.  

    - About the healing process
    The skin begins to heal itself by using its natural repairing mechanisms as soon as the treatment ends. It is important to allow the skin to heal without interference, and avoid any activity which may impair the healing process between treatment sessions. During healing, some skin crusts and scabs are expected to form as the skin works to expel damaged tissue and replace it with new, fresh skin. Do not scratch the scabs! The scabs are expected to peel-off naturally within a few weeks.   

    - Post-treatment instructions
    To alleviate discomfort immediately after the treatment, a cold compress may be applied onto the treatment area, followed by lenitive cream with soothing properties authorized by the treating clinician. 

    For the first 48 hours after the treatment, avoid sun/UV exposure, hot showers, hot tubs, saunas, intensive exercise, swimming, restrictive clothing which may cause friction with the treatment area, and avoid any perfume, lotion, or other skincare products which are not authorized by the treating clinician. 

    Throughout and even after the treatment protocol, you should avoid sun/UV exposure, unauthorized skincare, and any unnecessary contact with the treatment area. Apply high-potency sunscreen as needed. Ask your treating clinician for a detailed aftercare plan, including recommendations for sunscreen, and follow it closely to maximize treatment results and minimize the risk of complications.  

    - Possible side-effects     
    Complications and prolonged side-effects following Alpha treatments are rare, but possible. These may include:

    Excessive irritation, redness, or swelling for about 2-3 days after the treatment.
    Change in pigmentation which could last for a few months (more common with darker skin tones). 
    Breakouts such as acne and cold sores.
    Allergic reaction such as hives.
    Folliculitis (inflammation in the hair follicle).
    Blisters, superficial burns, and scarring (exceedingly rare).
