A few days before your laser hair removal treatment, you should avoid sun exposure. This is because the procedure cannot be performed on tanned skin.
In addition, you should also avoid waxing and plucking because the procedure can’t be done on irritated skin.
If you’re using anti-inflammatory medicine, Doctor Shawn Seit will probably advise you to take a vacation before getting laser hair removal.
It’s also beneficial if you remove or trim the spot where you want to expose your skin to the laser light one day before the procedure.
During the procedure, the doctor will use a hand-held laser device to press on your skin. They may also apply chilly devices or a cold gel to protect your skin and minimize problems.
You might feel discomfort while the laser beam reaches your hair follicles, such as as hot pinpricks accompanied by a feeling of cold coming from the cooling device or gel.
