Pre-Treatment Instructions for Diode Laser Hair Removal:
Arrive with the treatment area fully shaved at least 2 days before the procedure.
Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading in the 4-6 weeks prior to treatment, as these techniques remove hair from the root and can reduce the effectiveness of the laser.
Avoid sun exposure or tanning beds in the 3-4 days before the session. If recently exposed, wait at least 10-15 days before proceeding.
Do not apply tanning creams or products with dyes on the area to be treated in the days prior.
Inform the specialist about any medications you are taking, especially photosensitizing drugs or antibiotics.
If the area has irritated skin, infections, open wounds, or burns, postpone the procedure until the skin is healed.
Women should not be menstruating on the day of the session, as this can increase the risk of bleeding.
