8 Things To Do Before Your Laser Hair Removal Session

Thousand of other people have gone through laser hair removal, which is something that you may find comforting. You’re not alone in this fight against unwanted hair. And I’m here with help to prepare you for the process.

Even if there are laser hair removal machines which can handle more tanned skin, it’s advisable to go without tanning for at least two weeks before the procedure. Try to be at the lightest you can possibly be. Since the laser hair removal procedure focuses on melanin which is what actually gives you that golden tan.

To be able to achieve optimal results with laser hair removal, make sure that the root of your hair is in the follicle. This means refraining from using tweezers, wax or anything that yanks the hair root for seven or fourteen days, if you’re working on your face or the rest of your body respectively.

To make sure that laser and its energy will work on the follicle, you can shave a day before the laser hair removal session. Since shaving trims the hair shaft, without touching the root or the follicle, you will save time from having to burn of the hair strand.

Remember that both tattooing and getting laser hair removal can be a discomfort to your skin. But choosing to get inked 2 months after your series of laser hair removal appointments will ensure that your tattoo will not be affected by the possible hypopigmentation or the slight lightening of your skin.

Though the equipment and the room in which the laser hair removal is performed is kept clean, you should consider popping a full dose of anti-virals if you’re prone to cold sores. Even if you can trust that the laser hair removal equipment and room is kept clean, it might ease your mind to speak to your doctor about this issue.

If pain is an issue, be comforted by the fact that an anaesthetic will be administered topically for the laser hair removal session. Though you can always beef that up with an Advil or your trusty oral painkiller.

On the day itself, wear loose, comfortable clothing which you can remove or move without difficulty. Refrain from using lotions, creams, and even deodorant depending on the area on which you will be doing laser hair removal, but washing with soap and water will not be a problem.

When planning to go hair-free, give yourself three months before the day that you plan to bare it all. It is all this preparation and paying attention to precautions that will allow for your laser hair removal to go without a hitch.
