Tips for Definitive Laser Hair Removal
What You Should Know Before Starting Your Treatment
Before beginning a laser hair removal treatment, there are some tips you should keep in mind. Below, we share some of the most basic ones in these 7 tips for laser hair removal that we mustn’t forget.
1. Trust Professionals with Guarantees
The first tip is essential: choose a center that offers all the necessary guarantees, with suitable facilities and qualified staff. Your health is too important to leave in inexperienced hands. Ideally, treatments should be supervised by a specialist doctor.
2. Share Your Medical History
Before starting treatment, during the initial consultation at the center, they should take your medical history, noting any illnesses or surgical procedures you’ve had up to the present. You should also report any medications you’re taking, especially those with photosensitive agents.
3. Don’t Thoroughly Remove Hair Before Your First Laser Session
Once you’ve decided to undergo laser hair removal treatment, keep in mind that it’s best not to have recently removed hair using methods that pull it out by the root (like waxing, electric devices, or tweezers). There should be some hair present at the first session so the laser technician can assess its characteristics. You can use methods that don’t pull out the hair, such as shaving or depilatory creams.
4. Avoid Sun Exposure Before Your Sessions
Before any laser session, you should avoid sun exposure for a certain period, as it’s not advisable to have freshly tanned skin. The recommended time to avoid tanning before treatment: refrain from sunbathing or using UVA tanning beds for 2 to 10 days before and after the laser hair removal session. This tip applies to all laser hair removal technologies, including Alexandrite and Diode lasers.
If this isn’t possible, inform the staff so they can adjust the treatment as needed to prevent issues. Treating sun-exposed skin increases the risk of burns, spots, and, consequently, poor treatment results.
5. Request a Laser Tolerance Test
Laser hair removal can be uncomfortable, so it’s recommended to do a laser tolerance test during the first consultation. You can ask the laser specialist to start the session with a low heat setting and gradually increase it to determine your tolerance level. However, equipment like the one we have at Cali Laser Center uses the latest IN-MOTION laser technology, which causes no pain at all.
6. Protect Your Skin from the Sun During Treatment
Starting with the first session, you should protect your skin from sun exposure by using a high-protection sunscreen (SPF 50) daily. Maintain this protection for at least a week afterward.
It’s advisable to space sessions 3 to 4 weeks apart (depending on the treatment’s progress) because laser hair removal slows hair growth, giving it time to regrow.
