Before and after your session
A little preparation keeps treatment comfortable and helps every session count.
- Shave the area the day beforeThe laser needs the hair root, not the hair above the skin.
- No waxing, plucking or epilating for 4 weeksThese remove the root the laser is aiming for.
- Avoid sun and fake tan for 2 weeksTanned skin absorbs more heat, so we may need to lower the settings or reschedule.
- Arrive with clean skinNo creams, deodorant or make-up on the area being treated.
- Some redness is normalIt usually settles within a few hours. A cool compress or aloe gel helps.
- Wear SPF 30 or higherProtect treated skin from the sun for at least two weeks.
- Skip heat for 48 hoursNo hot baths, saunas, steam rooms or intense workouts.
- Let treated hair shedOver 1–3 weeks hairs will fall out on their own. Shaving between sessions is fine.
Feel smooth. Feel confident. Feel you.
