Dos and don'ts before lase hair removal

To get the best results from laser hair removal, there are a few things you can do to prepare yourself.

 

Be realistic in your expectations.

Before you begin your laser hair removal treatment, your dermatologist will review your medical history to ensure that the laser procedure is right for you.

You can also expect what you can expect from the treatment. While laser hair removal works well on all skin types and hair colors, you may not get the same results as others.

Laser treatments work well on darker hair. If you have light or blonde hair, you can still receive treatment, but the treatment may not be as effective. Your doctor will discuss these issues during your consultation to make sure you have the right expectations of the results.

 

Adjust your hair removal method.

You will need to stop waxing a few weeks before your hair removal treatment. For the laser treatment to be successful, the hair roots removed by waxing must remain intact.

To remove hair, you can continue shaving, even on the day of laser hair removal, as excess hair can interfere with the treatment.

 

Stay out of the sun.

If you spend time in the sun or use a tanning bed, you should stop before the hair removal treatment. The melanin in your skin can cause your skin to tan and interfere with the laser treatment process.

Make sure you use sunscreen when you are outdoors and plan to have more tanning treatments a few weeks after your last treatment.

 

Be prepared for multiple treatments.

Laser hair treatments are only effective on hairs that are in the active growth phase. For this reason, it may take several treatments to remove all unwanted hair.

Depending on your skin type and hair color, your doctor can determine during your consultation how many treatments you will need to achieve your results.

 

Ask about your medication.

Some medications, such as blood thinners or anti-inflammatory drugs, may interfere with your laser treatment. Be sure to bring a list of the medications you are taking and give it to your doctor during your consultation.

You may need to stop taking some medications before laser hair removal to protect your health and achieve a good result.

 

Be prepared for repairs.

Treated hair will not fall out immediately and you should expect unwanted hair to fall out in the days and weeks following the procedure.

Laser treatment can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Therefore, stay indoors or cover the treated area with loose clothing before going outdoors.

You will also need to use sunscreen and a good quality moisturizer daily to prevent your skin from drying out and flaking.
