Pre/Post Care

Pre-Care for Laser Hair Removal

To ensure the best results from your laser hair removal treatment, it’s important to follow a few simple steps before your session. For at least 2 to 4 weeks prior, avoid waxing, tweezing, or plucking, as the laser needs the hair follicle to remain intact. Shaving is perfectly fine! The treatment area should be shaved within 24 hours of your appointment.  Make sure the area you’re treating is clean and free of any lotions, creams, or deodorants before your appointment. It’s also a good idea to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before your treatment to reduce the risk of skin irritation.

Post-Care for Laser Hair Removal

After your laser hair removal treatment, your skin may feel slightly red or irritated, similar to a mild sunburn, but this should subside within a few hours to a couple of days. To help soothe your skin, avoid hot showers, saunas, and tight clothing that could cause friction in the treated area for 2 days. Please avoid direct sun exposure to the treatment area for the next week at least and always apply sunscreen to the area when going outdoors. Refrain from using harsh skincare products or exfoliating the treated area for a few days. Most importantly, resist the urge to pick or scratch, as treated hairs will begin to shed naturally within 10 to 21 days.
