Before you have any laser hair removal sessions, you’ll meet with one of our specialists during a consultation to prepare you for every step of the laser hair removal process. We’ll answer your questions about how many sessions you’ll need, how laser hair removal works, and what to expect as the hair falls out. We’ll also tell you how you can prepare before your appointment.
Please remember that there are about six weeks between sessions, and you’ll usually need several sessions to remove hair. That means you’ll need to do these things before your initial appointment and every appointment thereafter. These things will ensure that your skin is prepared for the laser and reduces the risk of injury.
Clients who are pregnant or nursing or who have open sores cannot undergo laser hair removal. The required before-care procedures and when to do them include:
On the day of your session, carefully shave the treatment area and remove any makeup or self-tanner.
During the session, a laser that administers high heat is applied to the treatment area. During the procedure, your skin is cooled, but after, it will feel like you’ve experienced some sunburn, and you’ll want to care for your skin as if you did. We strongly recommend using Ebanel Numb520, a cream that helps to numb your skin. Continue avoiding sun exposure for 4 weeks after your treatment.
Following the best laser hair removal before and after care for treatments makes the whole process go more smoothly. Your skin is less likely to become injured, and the sessions will go better. Shaving and avoiding sunlight makes it easier to target the hairs with the lasers without damaging your skin.
