You’ve probably heard of a laser hair removal treatment. This beauty treatment not only removes unwanted hairs but also damages ingrow hairs that cause hyperpigmentation.
Spade skin care , your medical spa in Los Angeles, California, offers laser hair removal as one of our beauty services. We can assure you that our laser hair removal treatment is effective for all skin tones, but the results still vary from one person to another.
What you do or what you apply to your skin before your session matters.
For your reference, allow us to share some things you should consider before undergoing laser hair removal.
- Shave: Twenty-four hours prior to your session, you should have the area shaved. Electric razors are not recommended because they typically leave the hairs long. No tweezing, plucking, or waxing as well.
- Don’t apply unnecessary products to your skin: You shouldn’t apply makeup, lotion, or deodorant in the area to maximize the effect of the treatment.
- Exposure to the sun is a no: Unlike injectable treatments, if you’ve exposed your skin under direct sunlight within 4 weeks before your session, you can’t undergo a laser hair removal treatment because it will result in hyperpigmentation.
- Exfoliate: Thorough exfoliation is needed before undergoing any laser treatments. We provide laser treatments in California and we’re very particular about this. Exfoliating the area 3-4 weeks prior will maximize results because built-up dirt, dead skin, and other debris are removed.
