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.
