How to prepare before the treatment?
-
Stop plucking and waxing
Avoid plucking and waxing the areas at least 4 to 6 weeks before you schedule your first appointment. You can, however, shave if you like, as there will be a gap of 8 to 10 weeks for the next appointment when you can do plucking and waxing.
-
Shave the area
You must shave the area 24 to 48 hours before you take an appointment. Shaving will prevent any burning sensation during the laser treatment.
-
Avoid sun exposure
Avoid sun exposure before at least scheduling your appointment for laser treatment. Otherwise, there can be skin discoloration and also cause blistering and excessive pain, particularly if you have sunbathed. At least use sunscreen while going out.
-
Put down the bleach
Also, you must stop bleaching the area six weeks before you schedule your appointment with laser treatment professionals. Your hair may get permanently destroyed by laser while looking at the color of your hair. If you bleach, then treatment will be less effective.
-
Check your medications
A few medications are not suitable while undergoing your laser treatment. Therefore, you must discuss with the professionals about the medications that you are currently taking. They will advise on how to continue with your medications instead of stopping them.
-
Remove your makeup or creams
Often, any makeup or creams may react with laser treatment adversely, and hence, it is advised that you must remove them before taking this treatment. You can simply soap the area and clean the surface where laser treatment will be needed.
How many sessions are needed for your laser hair treatments?
To get the results you want, you will probably require 3 to 5 laser treatments spaced several weeks apart because this technology can only treat hair that is actively growing.
