Before Laser Hair Removal: Many people mistakenly think they need to grow their hair out in order to undergo laser hair removal. In fact, your hair should be shaved as close as possible prior to the treatment. Avoid waxing, plucking, depilatory creams and tanning one month before treatment.
During the Laser Hair Removal Procedure: Your laser treatment may be uncomfortable depending on your pain threshold and the area being treated. Most treatments are fast. Lips and chins take just a few minutes.
What to Expect After Laser Hair Removal: After the procedure, you will most likely experience redness and maybe even a little stinging. This generally subsides in about two to four hours. You will also notice that hair remains on your skin after the procedure. This is because the procedure does not actually extract the hairs. Do not pull out the hair as they will fall out on their own.
Following Up on Laser Hair Removal: It will take several treatments to acheive the desired results from laser hair removal. A lot will depend on the area being treated, your hair folicles and skin type. Typically, you should wait four to six weeks between treatments to allow the dormant hair time to become activated for the next treatment. As with the first treatment session, however, it is perfectly fine to shave between treatments.
