Laser hair removal is one of the most effective treatments for removing unwanted body hair. Because it removes hair at the follicle, it prevents regrowth. This prevents ingrown hairs from irritating the laser-treated region and eliminates the need to shave, wax, or thread your body hair for a long time.
As a cosmetic procedure, laser hair removal requires more planning and attention than the other forms of hair removal. To ensure a safe and effective treatment, you must prepare for your consultation in advance.
Laser treatments’ effects on the body:
Laser treatments use wavelength-specific light beams to treat skin and face disorders. Dermatologists may also use carbon dioxide, YAG, or argon lasers, depending on the treatment. Another component affecting laser effects is frequency. Additionally, it creates tiny pores needed for collagen synthesis and good skin cell proliferation. Hair removal uses lasers’ colors to absorb light and generate heat to prevent new hair growth. Dermatologists know which lasers address certain skin problems. Thus, it can considerably improve many skin conditions.
What should I do before this treatment?
Before your first appointment, avoid waxing and tweezing. Both tweezing and waxing remove hair follicles from their roots. Unfortunately, the laser must recognize the hair follicle to remove hair using laser light. You must also avoid the sun. Avoid tanning beds and the sun for six weeks before the procedure. When outdoors, use broad-spectrum sunscreen every four to six hours to avoid sunburn.
Shave before treatment:
Shave 24 hours before your laser treatment. Your laser technician cannot treat these areas because they have above-skin hair. Scratchy stubble can overheat your skin pigment, making therapy impossible.
If you missed any hairs while shaving and don’t feel comfortable, your technician must avoid those regions. You may also need to reschedule your treatment till you can shave the area you want treated.
We recommend using a clean, new razor to avoid irritation and stray hairs after shaving. When you use a clean razor, you eliminate microorganisms that could cause contact dermatitis, a delayed allergic reaction that often occurs after shaving.
Shaving before laser hair removal: how long?
Shaving the treatment area at least 24 hours before your appointment is essential for preparation.
Shaving before laser hair removal is necessary because the laser must treat hair of the right length. Plucking or waxing might damage the follicle, making laser treatment unsuitable.
Additionally, the skin must be clean, dry, and free of oils and moisturizers. Exfoliating the area after four or five days is suggested to eliminate treated hair.
Avoiding sun exposure is essential. For several reasons, tanning increases melanin levels, which can affect laser response.
Additionally, extended sunlight can cause skin inflammation, therefore heat should be avoided until the discomfort subsides. Sunburns are more severe and require full healing before treatment.
This is also true for artificial tans, which are put over natural sun exposure. Before your trips, make sure your skin is free of self-tanning creams and their residue.
Shaving 24 hours before laser hair removal:
Shaving removes moisturizers, drying up the skin. Laser hair treatment can make dry skin itchy and painful. This is why you should wait 24 hours before shaving and your appointment. Shaving cream or gel should also be used to keep the treatment area wet.
If you shave more than 24 hours before your session and have long hair, the hair may burn and singe your skin. Long hair may also make it hard for the laser to target hair follicles effectively.
Laser hair removal sessions should be spaced four to eight weeks apart. It takes multiple treatments to remove all unwanted hair. Shave the first time and 24 hours before each session.
The hair that regrows between sessions is finer and sparser than the hair before treatment. While this is great news, you should still shave 24 hours before your sessions for optimal therapy.
Should I Shave or Wax Before Laser Hair Removal?
Waxing, epilating, and other hair removal methods other than shaving should be avoided before your session. The laser must target hair to work.
Each method removes hair at its root, leaving nothing for the laser to kill. Shaving your face 24 hours before your appointment will aid laser hair removal work by stimulating the appropriate quantity of hair growth. You will also limit the chance of hair growth causing irritation.
