Skin Rejuvenation and Resurfacing Treatments

If you have always wanted an even skin texture and clear complexion, you can consider skin rejuvenation and resurfacing treatments.

Laser hair removal How you prepare

Now that you have plucked up the courage to get laser hair removal, you must be wondering what you need to do to get prepared for your treatment. Laser hair removal is a simple and easy procedure but it still requires some pre-treatment preparation. A little bit of effort before the procedure will make your treatment smooth sailing and will help you get amazing results with minimal discomfort.

Read on to know some important steps that you will need to take before laser hair removal.

·         Avoid tanning: Avoid tanning for few weeks before treatment. It is necessary because your skin should have natural color as laser works best on natural color. If you have tan, wait until it fades completely before undergoing the procedure. It is important both before and after the treatment.

·         Avoid sun exposure: Protect your skin from harmful sun rays for few weeks before treatment. Avoid excessive sun exposure and wear strong sunscreen every time you go out in the sun. Excessive sun exposure can cause pigmentation disorders after treatment. This is applicable both before and after laser hair removal.

·         Do not wax or pluck: Do not wax or pluck or use any hair removal method that removes hair by roots. This is because your hair root must be present in the follicle to make the procedure successful. However, you can shave between laser hair removal sessions.

·         Do not apply any cosmetics: Do not apply any moisturizer or deodorant prior to treatment. Your skin should be bare and clean at the time of treatment.

·         Check medications you are taking: Check your medications before laser hair removal because certain medications can make your skin more sensitive or react to laser. Let your practitioner check your medical history to proceed safely with the procedure.

·         Shave treatment area: You will need to shave your treatment area 24 hours before laser hair removal or at the day of the treatment.

·         Get the patch test done: It is important to do a patch test on small area to check for any reaction or irritation. If you didn’t have any kind of laser treatment before, this test becomes a must.
