Do you think you are ready to take the next step? Then here is what you need to know before getting laser hair removal:
Do not go in the sun before your laser hair removal appointment.
While you should already know how harmful tanning can be to your skin, going in the sun before your laser appointment can put you at risk for discoloration. While anyone can get laser hair removal, you might want to wait if you are tanner than you normally are, or if you are sunburnt. Leading up to your laser hair removal appointment, Healthline recommends staying out of the sun for a few days before the procedure.
Shave the area that you are getting lasered.
Ideally, make sure to shave the area that you are getting lasered a day before your laser hair removal treatment. That being said, you will want to avoid getting waxed prior to your appointment; this is because the laser targets the pigment of the hair follicle, meaning that the follicle has to be there in order for the procedure to work.
Laser hair removal takes more than one treatment.
In order to see permanent hair reduction, most areas require four to six treatments. The total number of laser hair removal treatments you are required to undergo depend on factors such as the area being treated, hair thickness, and your hair’s growth cycle.
Do not wax after your laser hair removal treatment.
While shaving may be fine, you should probably cancel all future waxing appointments if you plan on undergoing laser hair removal. In order to see the best results, your unwanted hair needs to fall out all by itself; forcibly pulling out hair follicles after your laser hair removal treatment will only prolong the process.
You may need to avoid certain medications.
Any light-sensitive medications can make your skin more sensitive to the laser’s UV light, which could in turn cause skin color changes or blisters. Before starting laser hair removal treatment, make sure to ask your doctor if any of your medications will make your skin extra sensitive to light.
