How to prepare for your laser hair removal appointment

Want to get the best experience from your laser hair removal appointments? Here is a list of ideas.

1. Avoid the sun where you are going to get lasered.

2. Shave a few days before your appointment. Hair that is too long will hurt more to remove. It is also helpful to have a little bit of stubble so that we can see where the hair is growing. This helps us to be more precise.

3. Exfoliate before your laser hair removal appointment. Please wait at least 48 hours to exfoliate after a laser hair removal appointment.

4. Please come to your appointment with clean skin that is free of lotion, perfume, spray tan, or deodorant.

5. Do not wax or pluck hairs for a minimum of six weeks before your laser appointment. We need the hair follicle present to get any results. Shaving is OK.

6. Taking an antihistamine before your appointment will help the swelling around the hair follicles caused by the laser.

7. Wear loose fitting clothing to your appointment.

8. If treating your bikini area, please wear your favorite swimwear bottoms to help us guide how much hair to remove.
