Prepare for your Laser Hair Removal visit

 

Here is an easy guide with our top recommendations to make your laser hair removal treatments effective, comfortable and most importantly safe!

 

• Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks before and after your treatment.

• Recently tanned skin cannot be treated. This includes tan from tanning beds, creams, and bronzers.

• Always wear Sunscreen SPF 50 or higher.

• Avoid heat exposure like saunas, steam rooms, jacuzzis, extremely hot showers or strenuous activities for a minimum of 48-hours post-treatment.

• No working out for at least 24hrs post-treatment.

• Just say no to plucking, waxing, epilating, tweezing, or threading… shaving is the only option before/after sessions. And don’t forget to shave the area we are treating within 24hrs of your appointment.

• Up to 2-weeks post-treatment, you may notice hair falling out of the treated areas. This is not new growth, this is your laser treatment working! (Note: You can clean/remove the hair by washing or wiping the area with a wet cloth.)

• Treatments are not allowed until 14 days after the final dose of any antibiotic or photosensitizing medications (Examples: antibiotics, steroids, St. Johns Wort).

• Accutane must be stopped 9 months before laser treatments. 

• Over-the-counter Retin-A, Retinols, Glycolics, Salicylics should be avoided on the treatment area 3 days prior to treatment.

• Prescription-strength Retin-A, Retinols, Glycolics, Salicylics should be avoided on the treatment area 3 days prior to treatment.

• Laser Hair Removal is not effective on grey, blond, and red hair. (Call us to discuss if you're a candidate for Meladine™, the only patented natural melanin enhancer. Used to increase pigment in non-pigmented hair follicles for treatment by laser, Meladine™ has become a tremendous success for people with blonde, gray and white hair are receiving satisfying results with laser hair removal).
