Pre-Post Care

✨ Laser Hair Removal – Pre + Post Care Instructions ✨

PRE-TREATMENT CARE:

• 🚫 Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners for 2–4 weeks before treatment. Always use SPF 30+ on the area.
• 🪒 Shave the treatment area 24 hours before OR day of your appointment. Do not wax, pluck, or thread for 4 weeks prior.
• 🧴 Avoid active skincare (e.g., retinoids, acids, benzoyl peroxide) on the treatment area 3–5 days before treatment.
• 💊 Let us know if you are taking antibiotics, Accutane, or any photosensitizing meds.
• 🧼 Arrive with clean skin—no lotions, deodorant, makeup, or oils on the area to be treated.

POST-TREATMENT CARE:

• 🧊 Redness and mild swelling are normal and can last up to 48 hours. Apply cool compresses, if needed.
• 🧴 Use a gentle cleanser and soothing moisturizer (e.g., aloe vera or Aquaphor) for the next 3 days.
• 🚿 You may shower, but avoid hot water, saunas, and excessive sweating for 24–48 hours.
• 🧼 Avoid exfoliation, active skincare, or harsh products for 3–5 days post-treatment.
• ☀️ Stay out of the sun and use SPF 30+ daily on exposed areas.
• 🚫 Do not wax, pluck, or thread between treatments—shaving only.
• 🧤 Light shedding of treated hairs is expected after 1–2 weeks—this is normal.

📅 Multiple sessions are needed for best results. Keep your appointments consistent for optimal hair reduction.
