PREPARING FOR TREATMENT

We ask that Laser Hair Removal clients have the treatment area clean shaven prior to their appointment.  It is recommended to shave the day before your appointment.  Do not wax or tweeze/pluck hairs for at least one month before your procedure.

 

You will want to start treatments during a time when you will not be heavily exposed to the sun. Tanning increases the melanin in your skin, and the treatment will not be effective on sunburns or tanned skin. Ultraviolet light can make your skin hypersensitive to the laser, thereby causing more discomfort during the laser treatment. It can even damage your skin. This also means you cannot use tanning beds, spray tans, or any other tanning process for at least six weeks before your treatment begins. Your goal is to have natural melanin levels when you begin treatment. That is another reason why most patients begin their treatment in the winter and have it all completed by summer.
