Before your laser hair removal visit
Please read the pre-treatment instructions and contraindications for diode laser hair removal. If you are unsure about any item, call us before your appointment.
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 to 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 to 4 days before the session. If recently exposed, wait at least 10 to 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.
