Before your laser hair removal treatment

Before

Before undergoing a laser hair removal treatment, it's important to prepare adequately to ensure the best possible results and minimize any side effects. Here are some key steps to take beforehand:


  1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun for at least four to six weeks before your treatment. Tanned skin can affect the laser's effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects.
  2. Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area the morning of your appointment. This helps the laser target the hair follicle more effectively while minimizing skin irritation. 
  3. Avoid Certain Products: Refrain from using harsh exfoliants, retinoids, or products containing alpha or beta hydroxy acids on the treatment area for a week prior to your appointment.
  4. Stop Waxing and Plucking: Avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams for at least four to six weeks before treatment, as these methods can remove the hair follicle, which the laser needs to target.
  5. Consult Your Practitioner: Discuss any medications you are taking and any skin conditions you have during your consultation. Certain medications and conditions may affect your treatment.
  6. Wear Loose Clothing: On the day of the treatment, wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid irritation in the treated area.
  7. Arrive with Clean Skin: Make sure the treatment area is clean and free from lotions, deodorants, or makeup on the day of your appointment.


Following these steps can help ensure a safe and effective laser hair removal experience. Always follow specific instructions given by your practitioner, as individual recommendations may vary.

After your laser hair removal treatment

After

What must I do after getting laser hair removal?


To avoid possible side effects, all patients need to protect their skin from the sun. After laser hair removal, you should:

1. Always wear sunscreen when going outside during the course of your treatments and when possible, avoid direct sunlight from hitting your treated skin.

2. Do not use a tanning bed, sun lamp, or any other indoor tanning equipment. After your treatment, your skin is vulnerable and can be  susceptible to heat and severe sunburns. 

3. For 24 -48 hours after the treatment, please avoid excessive sweating (gym), hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, shaving, waxing, and plucking the treatment area. For under arms, please refrain from using deodorant for 24 hours. 

4. You may see some redness and swelling after treatment, often this looks like a mild sunburn. Applying a cool compress can help reduce your discomfort.

5. If you have had laser hair removal on your face, please avoid using makeup and beauty products that contain perfume or harsh chemicals. Take a short break from your makeup routine for a full day before applying any cosmetics. 


Following these steps can help ensure a safe and effective laser hair removal experience. Always follow specific instructions given by your practitioner, as individual recommendations may vary.


Photosensitive Medications
Laser hair removal is a popular and effective method for achieving smooth, hair-free skin. However, those who are taking photosensitivity medications should proceed with caution when considering this treatment. Photosensitivity medications can make the skin more sensitive to light, which can increase the risk of adverse reactions to laser hair removal. It is important to disclose any medications you are taking to your laser hair removal technician before starting treatment. We can help determine the best course of action to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the treatment. In some cases, it may be recommended to postpone treatment (approximately 10 days) until you have finished taking photosensitivity medications. It is always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to your skin's health and well-being.Examples of photosensitive medications: 

  • Antibiotics (eg, ciprofloxacin, doxycycline, levofloxacin, ofloxacin, tetracycline, trimethoprim)
  • Cancer medicines.
  • Medicines for heart and blood pressure (cardiovascular medicines)
  • Decongestants.
  • Antihistamines (cetirizine, loratadine)

It is recommended to wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing to your laser hair removal appointment. This will make it easier for us to access the treatment area and for you to change into a gown if needed. Avoid wearing tight clothing that may rub against the treated area and cause irritation. Additionally, it is best to avoid wearing any clothing with metal components such as zippers or buttons, as these can interfere with the laser treatment. It is also important to avoid wearing any perfumes, lotions, or deodorants on the treatment area before your appointment.

Absolutely! Laser hair removal is safe and effective for all skin types. 

Advancements in laser technology have made it possible to treat a wider range of skin tones, including darker skin types. 

The number of laser hair removal sessions needed varies depending on a variety of factors, including the color and thickness of your hair, the area being treated, and your skin tone. On average, most people require between 6 to 8 sessions to achieve significant hair reduction. However, some individuals may need more sessions, while others may require fewer.

Laser hair removal works best on hair that is in the active growth phase, so multiple sessions are needed to target all hair follicles during this phase. It is also important to space out the sessions appropriately to allow the hair to grow back in the active growth phase.

Avoid make-up on the treated area for at least 48 hours. Avoid the application of perfumed products or bleaching creams for 48 hours. Avoid scratching the treatment area if blistering or crusting occurs, as this can cause scarring. Avoid waxing, tweezing and threading for the complete duration of the treatment course.

Yes, you can take a shower with cool or cold water after your appointment. For warm showers, we recommend waiting at least 12 - 24 hours before showering. It is best to avoid water exposure for a full day to allow the treated area time to heal. This is because your skin will be sensitive to heat after your treatment. People with sensitive skin should wait the entire 24 hours before showering after laser hair removal.

Yes, you can still have a laser hair removal treatment while menstruating. 

The laser targets the hair follicle, disrupting the hair growth cycle. Post-treatment, hairs begin a shedding phase which lasts about 10-14 days. Shaving before this shedding completes can increase the chance of ingrown hairs and other side effects. 

How long your treatment lasts depends on he size of the area being treated. Treating the upper lip takes minutes. If you are having a large area like back or legs, your treatment may last more then an hour

We are able to treat all skin tones with our industry-leading laser hair removal technology. We use the Fitzpatrick Classification scale to determine your skin tone at consultation and select the most suitable setting for your laser hair removal treatment. Please be advised that your settings may change throughout your course to ensure optimal results.

No, laser hair removal treatments cannot be done over tattoos. We can treat around the tattooed areas with a gap of 3cm.
