ABOUT LASER HAIR REMOVAL

  • A Diode laser will be swept over the skin where hair removal is desired. A layer of gel will be applied to protect your skin from burns.

  • The laser targets melanocytes at the root of hair follicles to heat and destroy the hairs. Please be sure to shave your hair you want treated the night prior.

  • Please do not tan or use self tanner for 2 weeks prior to treatment, this increases the risk of your skin burning during treatment. Skin may be slightly reddened and sensitive for a short period of time after treatment. This will resolve within a day or two.

  • Getting ready for your laser hair removal session is simple, but following a few key steps ensures the best results and safest treatment.

    1. Avoid Sun Exposure
    Stay out of direct sunlight, tanning beds, and self-tanning products for at least 2 weeks before your appointment. Tanned skin increases the risk of irritation and pigment changes.

    2. Shave the Treatment Area
    Shave the area 24 hours before your session. This helps the laser focus on the hair follicle beneath the skin instead of the surface hair. Avoid waxing, plucking, or depilatory creams for at least 4 weeks before treatment.

    3. Skip Skincare Products
    On the day of your appointment, come in with clean, product-free skin. Avoid lotions, deodorant, oils, perfumes, or makeup on the treated area.

    4. Pause Active Treatments
    Discontinue retinoids, glycolic acid, or exfoliating products for at least 5–7 days before your session, as these can make skin more sensitive to the laser.

    5. Review Medications and Health Conditions
    Certain medications, especially antibiotics or photosensitizing drugs, may increase sensitivity. Always inform your provider of any recent prescriptions or medical changes.

    6. Dress Comfortably
    Wear loose, soft clothing to your appointment to minimize irritation after treatment.

    Your skin’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. Following these simple steps helps ensure you achieve smooth, lasting results from your laser hair removal treatment at SELF Aesthetics & Wellness.
