Hair Laser Removal Preparation and Post-Treatment
The Laser Hair Removal Protocol is a safe and effective way to eliminate unwanted hair from your face or body. However, as with any procedure, there are some steps you can take both before and after your treatments to ensure the best effectiveness and the fewest potential complications.
Before your scheduled Laser Hair Removal treatments, attempt to avoid tanning or especially sun-burning the areas to be treated. While tanning and sunburns are always tough on your skin, they can decrease the effectiveness of the treatment or even cause unnecessary discomfort.
For the most effective treatment, ensure that the area to be treated is shaved before your treatment. Waxing, tweezing, and bleaching the hair can lessen the effectiveness of your treatment.
Also, avoid putting any kind of lotion, sunscreen, makeup, perfume or any other type of product on the skin being treated to avoid potential complications. They can block the laser energy or even, in some rare cases, cause allergic reactions.
After your Laser Hair Removal treatment, it’s normal for the treated area to be pink or slightly red for a time. A soothing lotion such as American Laser Centers‘ Post-Laser Body Lotion or Post-Laser Facial Lotion can help address those minor discomforts and keep the skin adequately hydrated. If you practice good skin care, drink plenty of water and avoid excessive exposure to direct sunlight and your skin should return to normal very quickly.
