What to Expect During a Session
-
Consultation – Your provider reviews your skin type and hair color to tailor your treatment.
-
Preparation – Avoid sun exposure, exfoliate gently, and shave the area a day before your appointment.
-
The Treatment – Expect a quick, mildly warm sensation—like a rubber band snap. Most sessions wrap up in 20–45 minutes.
-
Aftercare – Use a soothing aloe vera gel and avoid sun exposure. Full results show after 6–8 sessions.
Pre-Treatment Prep Tips
-
Avoid tanning and UV exposure for at least two weeks before treatment.
-
Skip waxing or plucking—shaving is fine. Laser needs to target the root.
-
Keep your skin clean and shaved the day before.
Aftercare for Best Results
-
Apply a cooling gel or moisturizer to calm the area.
-
Stay out of direct sunlight and use SPF 30+ when outdoors.
-
Avoid hot baths or workouts that cause heavy sweating for 24–48 hours.
-
Stick to your scheduled sessions—consistency is key!
Who Should Consider It?
Laser hair removal works best on those with light skin and darker hair, but newer technologies are inclusive of more skin tones. Darker skin tones may require specific lasers—consult your provider to ensure safety and effectiveness.
