Permanent hair reduction

We recommend that you shave the area to be treated the day or night before your appointment. For best results please avoid plucking, waxing or bleaching the hair for five to six weeks before.

Do not use any topical products that cause photosensitivity (e.g. hydroxy acids, salicylic acid, retinols, and benzoyl peroxide) in the treatment areas for three days before treatment.

Areas with Botox injections, dermal filler injections, chemical peels and microdermabrasion can be treated at least 14 days before or after laser hair removal.

The treatment area must be free of sunburns or fresh tan and kept out of the sun for at least 14 days before treatment. 

The laser cannot be used on tattooed areas but in most circumstances, we can work around the area.

You must avoid heat on the area for 48 hours, including hot showers, baths, hot tubs, cardio, car seat warmers, etc.

Don’t use bleaching creams or perfume products for 24 to 48 hours and please avoid peels or exfoliating for at least one week.

Right after your treatment you may see  redness and some swelling around the follicles similar to goose bumps. This may persist for several days. In some cases the treated area may feel like a razor burn or sunburn for a few hours after treatment.

Avoid sun exposure and do not use UV tanning beds at all for two weeks after treatment. We recommend daily use an SPF of 30 or above continuously.
