Dos and don’ts before laser hair removal
Do shave the treatment area
The laser device needs access to your hair roots for treatment so you should shave the treatment area at least 24 hours before the session. It will allow the laser to reach the root cells directly without any interference from the surface hair. Waxing and plucking are also hair removal methods people employ but avoid it when you are going for a laser treatment as it will reduce the effectiveness.
Don’t expose your skin to sunlight
Prolonged sun exposure on burnt or tanned skin areas leads to higher possibilities of laser treatment complications such as burns and skin pigmentation. Apply sunscreen protection when you need to be outside since you should limit sun exposure for two weeks prior to your treatment sessions.
Do keep skin clean and free of products
Clear your treatment area from all lotion and deodorant products along with makeup and skincare solutions prior to your appointment. These can reduce the effectiveness of laser performance or cause skin irritation.
Don’t use harsh skincare products
Strong skin treatments including retinoids and acids together with exfoliants should be avoided at least one week before receiving a treatment. These products may have ingredients that can increase your skin sensitivity along with the risk of getting burns or irritation.
Dos and don’ts after laser hair removal
Do moisturize the skin
Your treated skin can get sensitive and show signs of irritation after the procedure. Put on a gentle moisturizer with no scent or apply aloe vera gel to soothe the skin and reduce redness. It will also nourish your skin
Don’t expose treated skin to heat
Stay away from warm baths and steam rooms completely during the first two days following the treatment session. Now, your skin is more sensitive to heat exposure which may lead to redness and swelling.
Do wear sunscreen
Post laser treatment your skin develops increased sensitivity which results in higher vulnerability to sunburns. Use a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 broad spectrum each day before venturing outside. Make sure your outdoor exposure is as limited as possible.
Don’t scratch or pick at the skin
After treatment you might see minor redness along with slight skin peeling however it is essential not to touch or scratch these spots. Irritation and infection alongside possible scarring can occur if you pick or scrape the treated area.
Don’t expect immediate results
To reach optimal outcomes with laser hair removal you need to complete multiple treatment sessions because the procedure operates through slow gradual removal of hair. Your hair will fall out naturally throughout the treatment but you will not instantly see your hair disappears. You need to strictly follow the treatment sessions to gain lasting results.
Final Thoughts
Whatever laser hair removal method you choose at home techniques or professional services, there is a need to follow correct procedures before and after to ensure getting optimal treatment results.
