How to Prep for Laser Hair Removal
Medication & Topical Agents
Avoid retinoids, exfoliants (like AHAs/BHAs), and other sensitizing topicals for 1 week before treatment. Also, stop anti-inflammatories and blood thinners (e.g., ibuprofen, aspirin, fish oil) for 3 days to prevent interference with healing.
Shave!
For best results, you must shave the area of concern 24-48hrs before your appointment. If the hair is too long, your treatment may not be as effective.
No Waxing or Tweezing
Do not wax, epilate, use electrolysis, or use any other hair removal methods on the treatment (other than shaving) area for at least 4-6 weeks prior. It is best to avoid those treatments completely during the course of your series!
Avoid Sun Exposure
Freshly tanned skin cannot be treated. Stay out of the direct sun for a minimum of 2 weeks prior to your appointment.
Accutane
This service is not able to be performed if you have been on Accutane in the last 6 months.
Bare Skin
