Things to Consider Before Laser Hair Removal

Our appearance has a significant impact on the way we feel. If we are feeling insecure about how we look, it’ll influence our confidence and self-esteem. If this is the case, unwanted hair is one of those things that can ruin our self-image and confidence. Luckily, there is an easy way to fix that!

Introducing laser hair removal – a treatment that provides an alternative to traditional waxing and shaving, in order to remove unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is a simple procedure that offers a relatively painless and quick way to reduce hair from your body.

However, before you schedule an appointment for laser hair removal, make sure you keep in mind the following things.

Skip the gym

It’s best if you skip the gym after your laser treatment – in fact it’s best to avoid any activities or places that introduce heat to the newly treated area. This includes the gym, saunas and hot showers. The added heat can increase the risk of creating an environment for bacteria to multiply, which will show up as spots on your skin.

Multiple treatments

With laser hair removal treatments, you are likely to require multiple treatments to completely remove the hair from the target body area. The amount of treatments required will be dependent on a number of individual factors such as skin type, thick hair and hair colors, the target area to be treated, sensitivity of the skin and much more. A quick consultation session should give you the answer as to how many return visits you will need. Make sure you keep that in mind when you’re considering laser hair removal, because this will affect the cost.

Avoid the sun

As we mentioned earlier, exposing your skin to heat (and therefore the sun) after a treatment can potentially cause irritation. Therefore, avoid sunbathing for a few days, or any extended periods of time in the sun.

May need to switch up your skincare

After the laser hair removal treatment, the dermatologist will advise you to avoid certain beauty and skincare products that can potentially cause irritation to the treated area. Things such as scrubs, glycolic acid and retinol creams should be avoided a few days before and after the hair removal treatment.

To conclude, laser hair removal treatments are still considered to be the safest and least painful option to remove unwanted hair from your body.
