❌ Don’t wax, tweeze, epilate or use chemical depilatories 3-4 weeks prior to your appointment, because laser targets the roots of the hair.
✅ Shaving is OK.
❌ Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds 5 days prior to your appontment. Or use SPF50 if the treated area can’t be covered.
❌ Avoid tanning lotions (or any melanin activators) 15 days prior to your appointment.
❌ Avoid working out, saunas and swimming pools on the day of your appointment.
❌ Stop peeling, scrubbing your skin 1 week prior to your appointment.
❌ Do not use any products (acids, retinols…etc.) or drugs that cause photosensitivity 1 week prior to your appointment.
✅ Hydrate your skin regularly, but avoid any products on the treated area on the day of your appointment.
✅ Arrive with clean skin (no creams, deodorants, makeup) on the treated area.
✅ Shave the treated area the night before your treatment. Shaving is the only form of hair removal recommended during your laser hair removal treatment.
