1. Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning: Tanned skin is more sensitive to light and may increase the risk of side effects such as burning or skin discoloration during laser treatment, so it is important that you try to avoid the sun and tanning treatments at least four weeks before your appointment.

Bonus tip: Be sure to use sunscreen with a high sun protection factor if you must be outdoors.

2. Do not remove hair with wax or tweezers: For laser hair removal to be effective, it is important that the hair follicle is intact, so before your laser hair removal session, avoid removing hair with wax, tweezers, or any other method.

Hair must be present for the laser to target the melanin in the hair follicle and effectively destroy it.

If you are bothered by hair growth, you can trim or shave the hair if necessary.

3. Proper shave prior to session: Be sure to shave the area to be treated the day before or the day of your appointment. This will help remove visible hair on the surface of the skin, allowing the laser to effectively penetrate the hair follicle without burning the surface hair. Use a clean, sharp razor for best results.

4. Avoid the use of irritating products on the skin: Stay away from products such as exfoliating creams, scented lotions, or products with acids. These can sensitize your skin and make it more prone to adverse reactions during laser treatment.

Gently cleanse your skin with a mild soap before your session to remove any residue or makeup.

5. Carefully follow the advice of your professional: We appreciate that you have read this blog carefully, but it is also important that you follow the recommendations and guidelines provided by your professional.
