How To Prepare For Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Are you fed up with the relentless task of waxing, plucking or shaving your body hair only to find that it re-grows within a day or two? If you are, then laser hair removal treatment might just be a good option for you. Laser hair removal New York City treatment can remove hair from any area of your body, though the most common areas treated are the face, legs, arms and armpits, and the pubic region.

Here follows The Laser Hair Removal New York City Guide to how you need to prepare before you have any treatment.

Preparations you need to make

You first need to find out if you are a suitable candidate for laser hair removal treatment. Hair color and your skin type are the main determinants to how successful your treatment will be. People with dark hair and pale skin see the best results, although it doesn’t necessarily rule you out if your skin tone is darker or your hair color is lighter - you will need to speak to your practitioner about your own individual circumstances.

Your preparation should start 2 - 4 weeks prior to treatment. As the laser hair removal New York City treatment works best on paler skin tones, you should avoid direct sun exposure and even tanning booths before and after your procedure. Overall laser treatment is very safe, but a tan will slightly increase the risk of adverse effects.

Avoid electrolysis, waxing or plucking the area to be treated for 2 - 3 weeks prior to treatment - do not bleach the hair in this area either. Around the same time you should ensure that you are not taking any medicines that might make your skin more sensitive to sunlight (unless of course it is an essential medication and your doctor can’t prescribe an alternative).

2 - 3 days before your first appointment you will need to shave the area that is to be treated. Laser hair removal treatment will only work on short stubble type hair and this will allow enough time for the hair to grow back the 2 - 3mm which is needed to allow the treatment to work.

On the day of your appointment do not apply any skin products such as make-up, lotions, perfume, moisturizer or deodorant - It is important that your skin is free from any artificial substances.

Laser hair removal is an extremely safe procedure and if you follow this advice you will have given yourself the best chance of success. So whether you are thinking of having your armpits, bikini line, legs, chin or upper lip treated, you can look forward to being hair-free for a considerable period of time.
