We have collected the most important information to help you prepare for your laser hair removal session.
While laser hair removal can be done on all skin tones, having your skin at its base color will give you the best results. So you should, avoid all forms of tanning, sun tanning, tanning salons, or using self-tanner. It’s also important to remember that tanning is a type of sun damage, so it might increase your risk of complications or sensitivity.
You’ll also want to stop all hair removal methods that pull the hair out from the root from the area you’ll be treating. That includes waxing, epilating, tweezing, and threading.
Finally, there are also certain medications that you can’t take in the months before laser hair removal, like isotretinoin (Accutane), and immunosuppressants. Keep all of these in mind before you book your appointment since they might force you to delay starting treatment.
As time comes closer to the date of your appointment, there are a few more things you’ll need to start avoiding. For two weeks prior to your appointment, you can’t take antibiotics, tretinoin (Retin-A), Aspirin, and any blood-thinning medications. You may also want to stop using other topical skincare and OTC creams that promote exfoliation on the areas that will be treated, especially in the week before your appointment. These include milder retinoids (including prescription Retin-A), glycolic acid, lactic acid, and benzoyl peroxide.
The day or two before your appointment, the most important thing you need to do is shave the area you’ll be getting lasered. Shaving cuts the hair down and allows the laser to reach the hair follicle easily. Do this at least 24-48 hours before your appointment.
Then, on the day of your appointment, make sure that your treatment area is clean. Try to avoid applying any creams, lotions, deodorants, or makeup. If your appointment is in the middle of the day, no worries! We can give you some wipes so you can clean up before the treatment.
