Before Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a popular beauty treatment that can offer long-lasting results. If you’re considering laser hair removal, there are a few things you should do beforehand to ensure the best possible outcome.
First, it’s important to avoid sun exposure for at least four weeks before your treatment. This means staying out of the sun and using sunscreen whenever you go outside. You should also avoid waxing, tweezing, or using any other hair removal methods before your treatment. This is because these methods can disrupt the hair follicle, making it more difficult for the laser to target the hair.
Finally, it’s important to shave the treatment area before your appointment. Shaving helps to ensure that the laser can reach the hair follicle, making the treatment more effective. By following these simple tips, you can help make sure that your laser hair removal treatment here at Highland Salon and Medi Spa is a success.
After Laser Hair Removal
After laser hair removal, it is important to avoid sun exposure and to protect the treated area from the sun for at least four weeks. This means wearing sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and avoiding direct sunlight as much as possible. It is also important to keep the treated area clean and dry, which means avoiding hot showers, saunas, and steam rooms.
You may notice some redness and swelling in the treated area. This is normal and should fade within a few hours. You may also experience some minor skin irritation, like itching or dryness. These side effects are usually mild and should go away on their own within a day or two. To help relieve any discomfort, you can try applying a cool compress to the treated area or taking an over-the-counter antihistamine. We recommend avoiding shaving, waxing, or tweezing in the treated area. If you’re ready to say goodbye to unwanted hair, call us today to book an appointment. We’ll help you achieve the smooth, flawless look you’ve always wanted. Book your appointment today.
