LASER HAIR REMOVAL
ABOUT YOUR TREATMENT
Laser hair removal uses controlled light energy to target and disable hair follicles during their growth phase.
For best results, treatments are performed in a series of 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT
- • Shave treatment area 24 hours prior
- • Do NOT wax, pluck, or tweeze
- • Avoid tanning (sun, spray tan, tanning beds) for 2 weeks
- • Avoid photosensitizing medications
- • Avoid active skin irritation or infection
⚠️ Important: Laser cannot be performed on tanned skin.
WHAT TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT
- • Mild redness
- • Slight swelling around follicles
- • Warmth similar to mild sunburn
These symptoms typically resolve within 24–48 hours. Hair will shed over 1–2 weeks.
AFTERCARE
- • Avoid sun exposure for 7 days
- • Wear SPF 30+ daily
- • Avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous workouts for 24 hours
- • Do not scratch or exfoliate aggressively for several days
⚠️ IMPORTANT
If blistering occurs, do not puncture. Contact us immediately.
RESULTS
Hair reduction improves with each session.
Consistency is key for long-term smooth results.
