Lasers

Note: Some conditions will require medical clearance and a letter from your doctor.

Pre-Procedure

  • Shower and Clean: Bathe on the day of your treatment, avoiding lotions, oils, or perfumes afterward.
  • Shave the Area: Shave 24 to 48 hours before your session to reduce the risk of burns and enhance laser effectiveness.
  • Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid sun exposure for at least six weeks before your treatment to prevent skin discoloration.
  • Review Medications: Discuss all medications and skin care products with your specialist to avoid adverse reactions.
  • Avoid Other Hair Removal Methods: Avoid waxing, plucking, and depilatory creams on the area for four to six weeks prior.
  • Stop Bleaching Hair: Cease any hair bleaching in the treatment area six weeks before your appointment in order to ensure that the laser effectively targets the hair.

Post-Procedure

  • Soothe the Skin: Apply aloe vera or a similar cooling gel to reduce irritation.
  • Avoid Heat: For 48 hours post-treatment, avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense exercise.
  • Sun Protection: Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen on the treated area to prevent discoloration.
  • Gentle Skincare: Opt for mild, fragrance-free products to avoid skin irritating.
  • No Waxing or Plucking: Do not use these hair removal methods until the area is fully healed. Shaving is acceptable if needed.
  • Monitor Hair Shedding: Expect hair shedding within the first few weeks—it’s a sign that the treatment is working.
  • Follow-Up Appointments: Keep any scheduled follow-up sessions to ensure optimal results.
