If you’re tired of shaving or waxing all the time, you may want to consider laser hair removal. The treatment can help you achieve permanent hair reduction in just few sessions. However, in order to get the best results from the treatment, it’s important to prepare properly for it. Here are the do’s and don’ts of getting ready for this hair removal treatment.

Do:

Shave the Designated Area

Shaving the area that will be treated will help reduce burning below the skin’s surface. Whether you’re getting laser hair removal on your legs or bikini area, remember to shave the area entirely a day or the night before your appointment.

Ask About Your Medications

Before your hair removal treatment, let your Doctor know about all the medications you’re taking and the Creams or Skin products you are using. Some medications, such as antihistamines, hormones and acne medications, can negatively affect the procedure or your skin. Your Doctor can adjust your treatment based on the medications you take.

Don’t:

Go Out in the Sun

Too much sun exposure can increase the risk of skin discoloration after a laser hair removal treatment. Limit your time in the sun for at least two weeks before your treatment. When you do go out in the sun, remember to wear sunscreen and protective clothing.

Forget to Cleanse Your Skin

Your skin should be free of makeup, creams, and ointments when you go in for your hair removal treatment. The ingredients in these products could negatively affect the results of the treatment. On the day of your appointment, thoroughly cleanse your skin with soap and water.
