Before Getting Laser Hair Removal, Follow These Important Steps

By Donald Wood


Despite of being expensive, lots of men and women still opt for laser treatment. That doesn't really come as a surprise since it's the only method that can permanently reduce the number of unwanted hairs, says the FDA. Because it doesn't cost cheap, you should definitely do everything necessary to make the most out of the procedure. Below you will come across some of the steps that you have to take up to one month before your laser hair removal appointment day arrives.

Regularly apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or greater. Laser targets the dark colored pigment called melanin. It's important for hairs to have more melanin than skin surrounding them. Otherwise, laser will end up being absorbed by the skin. This is something that can cause a lot of pain, not to mention render the pricey treatment useless, too. About a month before you get the treatment, start applying sunscreen.

Avoid having a tan in any other approach. The use of tanning beds and UV lamps is a terrible idea, dermatologists confirm. Again, the goal is to make sure that your hairs have more melanin compared to adjacent areas. By the way, it's also important for you to know that the application self tanning products like creams and sprays should not be done, too.

Do not get your hairs bleached. The sheer importance of hairs having lots of melanin cannot be stressed enough. Needless to say, you should stop undergoing bleaching about a month before getting treated with laser. It's for the fact that bleaching eliminates melanin present in those unwanted hairs, causing laser to target your skin instead.

Avoid waxing and plucking at all costs. It can be very exciting to wax or pluck just to give yourself an idea on how your skin would look life after paying for a laser treatment. Waxing and plucking should not be carried out up to a month before your appointment. It is a must for the roots to be present so that laser could have them destroyed. Without the roots, there's no point in getting treated with laser.

Before going to the medical spa, shave. In stark contrast, you are encouraged to shave on the day of your treatment. This makes sure that laser ends up targeting the roots and not the shafts. Consider shaving 2 days in advance if your skin tends to end up with rashes immediately after shaving.

Exfoliate in the shower. The presence of excess dead skin cells can keep the treatment from giving you the expected results. It's due to this why you should exfoliate before you step foot outside your home. However, refrain from using commercially available exfoliating solutions that leave a thin film of product buildup on your skin. The best way to get excess dead skin cells removed is with the help of a loofah or sponge.

Never apply any beauty product afterwards. The application of any of your favorite cosmetic products will only render exfoliating pointless. Needless to say, you should show up at the medical spa with skin that's clean and bare. Such helps ensure that nothing can keep laser from impressing you.
