How to Prepare for a Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Have you been tweezing, shaving or trimming body hair for the longest time? And has this tired you already? Do you think that it's time to level up and have hair laser treatment instead? This is indeed an effective way to remove hair but did you know that the effectiveness of the treatment also depends on your preparation? Yes, you have to do your part as well if you want to get the most out of the treatment. Read below and find out what you can do and how you can prepare yourself properly:
At least a month before the treatment, do not get yourself a tan. Fact is that, laser works the best when the skin is lighter. You may love the sun and the sun-kissed look too much but if you want to be free of body hair then schedule a tanning session, 5 months before your scheduled treatment. And even when you're not tanning, always wear sunscreen with the highest level of SPF, preferably 30 and above. Pay particular notice on the skin where the laser treatment will be done and keep it as light as possible.
Also, put down shavers or tweezers for 4 weeks prior the hair laser treatment as well. Redding Laser Hair Removal works by pulling the root of the hair to its deepest part, while plucking removes hair but then re grows back after 2 weeks time. Doing the latter, will make the treatment less effective or if not, not effective at all. Since you have to practice personal hygiene of course, you may actually shave on the target spot but do not pluck and pull the hair from the roots. Avoid bleaching as well - laser and bleach are the worst combinations that can make the treatment a failure.
A day before the schedule of the hair removal procedure, make sure you shave the area. You can also trim but shaving is a much better option. This is because hair can cause pain and make the laser treatment burn on the skin surface. The heat can be absorbed and will then transfer to the skin where the burning sensation will be felt.
The skin must also be clean. This means it must not have traces and residues of lotions, creams or any other cosmetic. If you have tattoos, try to opt for a Redding Tattoo Removal procedure. You can do this on the clinic itself if you have some on before heeding to the treatment center. If it's hair removal for the underarms, make sure you remove the anti- perspirant or deodorant you are using.
