Whether you’ve recently scheduled your first laser hair removal treatment with us or are still considering it, we’d like to share some tips on preparing for your appointment:
Arrive Freshly Bathed or Showered
For the best results, we ask that you arrive having recently bathed or showered. It is essential that the treatment area is completely clean and clear of any product, such as lotions or creams. We also recommend that you avoid applying any perfume or other fragrance before your session.
Shave the Treatment Area
24 hours before your scheduled laser hair removal treatment, you should shave the treatment area. This is important because shaving will make it easier for our lasers to reach and successfully treat the hair follicle.
It is vital that the hair follicle is still intact, so please avoid waxing or using chemical depilatory products on the laser hair removal areas before your appointment.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Unfortunately, we are not able to safely treat sunburned skin. However, we can treat an established tan. With this in mind, we highly recommend that you avoid sun exposure to your treatment area in the days and weeks leading up to your appointment. You can do this by wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and keeping the laser hair removal areas covered up with clothing.
Steer Clear of Certain Topical Products
Some topical products, such as skin cleansers, can cause photosensitivity. For this reason, we recommend that you avoid using any skin products containing specific ingredients in the days leading up to your session. Some examples of elements to avoid include:
- Benzoyl peroxide
- Salicylic acid
- Retinol
- Hydroxy acids
Let Us Know About Any Medications
Our team of certified nurse practitioners can tell you if any of the medicines you’re taking could cause photosensitivity during treatment. Please let us know at your consultation if you’re taking any prescription medications. We may recommend that you consult with your prescribing doctor or physician for further guidance before your appointment.
