Laser Hair Removal Preparation

Wednesday, May 03, 2006

Before you arrive for each hair removal treatment, we’ll ask you to follow a few simple instructions to make sure your results are as satisfying as possible. First, stay out of the sun–a recent suntan or sunburn can sensitize the area and can adversely affect treatment effectiveness. It’s recommended that you don’t engage in active tanning for three weeks prior to treatment. Second, the area to be treated must be shaved free of all hair. And third, the treatment area should be absolutely clean of any lotions, creams, makeup, sun block, perfume or any other chemicals or skincare products. These can cause allergic reactions, and can impede the transmission of light, reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
