Detailed Pre-Session Instructions
Do’s
- Keep the targeted area thoroughly clean just before the session. On the day of the treatment, products like creams, lotions, and fragrances should not be applied.
- Inform the laser hair removal provider about current use or intake of medications, as some can make the targeted area more sensitive. Also, share details about skin concerns or conditions.
- Be mentally prepared for the skin to be slightly sensitive for some time after the treatment and to practice specific skincare.
- Lead a healthy routine and follow a proper skin care regimen.
Don’ts
- Avoid waxing, tweezing, electrolysis, or any hair removal method that works by uprooting hair. Laser works on the hair roots that actively grow hair and so its use won’t be a success if the roots get uprooted.
- Do not use depilatory cream as it could interfere with the ability of the laser to target the hair follicle.
- Avoid bleaching the hair of the targeted area, as this would make the hair deprived of its melanin content. Laser targets melanin of hair for thermal destruction of the hair follicles and so after bleaching, laser won’t work.
- Keep the targeted area away from direct sunlight or UV exposure for a minimum of two weeks before the session and even between and after sessions. If it’s necessary to go outdoors in the daytime, keep the skin of the targeted area protected with sunscreen of high SPF, applied frequently. Also wear sun-protective clothing.
- Avoid anything that could injure, infect, or inflame the skin of the targeted area and cause it to darken. This includes the use of self-tanners or tanning beds. Lasers used on dark skin can cause serious side effects.
- Stop smoking and drinking alcohol in excess to avoid delaying the healing process and an increase in chances of complications following laser hair removal.
