How do I prepare for my laser hair removal? Before your first session, it is important for you to avoid waxing for six weeks. This is also the case with the use of tweezers. The laser needs to be able to identify the hair follicle. During this time period, shaving is acceptable. You MUST stay out of the sun. Any tanning of the skin can result in pigmentation in the areas you laser. If you are prone to nervousness, you should avoid caffeine for 24 hours before your session. On the day before your treatment, you should shave with a CLEAN, NEW razor. By shaving, the lasers will be able to locate the follicles. Using a clean, new razor ensures there is no lingering bacteria that could cause contact dermatitis after your laser treatment. (Contact dermatitis is a delayed type of allergic reaction of the skin resulting from skin contact with a specific allergen.) Shave within 24 hours of your laser appointment. Your Laser Technician will not be able to go over areas with hair that’s above the skin. They can’t even go over areas with hair that has a rough stubble because it damages the laser and increases the chances of getting burned/pigmented, as well as makes the laser treatment hurt more. Should you miss areas during a shave or not shave within 24 hours of a laser, we will either need to avoid doing laser on those areas, and just hit them up next time, reschedule the session all together, or your Laser Technician can shave them for a fee of $10.00 per area. Please note that even if only a small patch was missed, there will still be a $10 charge per area. 📞Call (615) 656-0965 to schedule your laser hair removal appointment. #theHWC #theSlimcoMboro #theSlimCoNashville #laserhairremoval #affordable #paypertreatnent #savethousands #smootherskin #hairfree #bikini #brazillian #legs #arms #chin #neck #face #underarms #back #permenanthairremoval #nomorewaxing #nomorerazors #lasertreatments #lasertherapy #noninvasive #NOSurgery🏥 #NONeedles💉 #NODowntime🛌 #NORecovery💊
