Laser Hair Removal

Preparation

The treatment area should be shaved completely prior to treatment. Laser targets the root of the hair and must be present for the treatment to be effective. Shaving is the only form of hair removal recommended during the course of your treatments. Do not wax, tweeze, or epilate or use chemical depilatories between laser treatments.

Avoid sun exposure to the treatment area, and do not use UV tanning beds at all for two weeks before treatment.

Use a broad-spectrum sunblock with an SPF of 30 or above on a daily basis (rain or shine).

​

The number of treatments necessary varies per individual, on average 6-8 treatments (up to 10 in some instances), although because of numerous variables this medical treatment cannot be guaranteed. Multiple treatments performed at 4 to 10 week intervals are necessary in order to obtain the best result. Irregular treatment schedules and prolonged intervals between treatments may reduce the efficacy of laser hair removal.
