Laser Hair Removal: Pre & Post Care Guide

PRE-TREATMENT
Day of treatment
POST-TREATMENT

Pre-Treatment

  • Do not wax, tweeze, bleach, or use hair removal creams or electrolysis on the treatment area, for at least 4 weeks before your treatment. These activities can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
  • Avoid direct sun exposure and sunbeds for at least 1-2 weeks before treatment. If unavoidable, use a minimum of SPF 30. Laser hair removal can not be done on extremely tanned skin.
  • Discontinue tanning (includes beds, self-tanning creams, and sprays).

Before treatment

  • Shave the treatment area.

Day of Treatment

  • Remove any lotions, make-up, and deodorants prior to treatment.
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing that will leave the treatment area exposed and easily accessible for treatment. Tight or rough clothing may cause you to feel uncomfortable if the skin becomes sensitive after treatment.
  • You may feel a slight pricking or stinging. Some people compare the feeling to a rubber band snapping onto the skin. For your comfort, a topical numbing cream is available for purchase. You must arrive 30 minutes prior to treatment time in order for it to be applied and to take effect.

Post-Treatment

  • Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and creams until your treatments are completed.
  • Avoid hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, swimming, and strenuous sports for 24 hours following treatment, or until any redness, crusting, or blisters have resolved.
  • If crusting develops, it should fall off naturally. Please do not pick or scratch.
  • Do not wax, tweeze, bleach, or use hair removal creams or electrolysis on the treatment area until all treatments are completed.
  • Do not shave the treated area for 1 to 3 days post-treatment if crusting or blistering occurs.
  • Apply a minimum SPF 30 broad-spectrum sunscreen.
  • The treated area may appear red, irritated, and swollen (like sunburn). Apply ice packs or cold aloe vera to soothe.
  • You may experience “hair shedding” the first few days after treatment which is sometimes mistaken for hair growth.
  • You can apply makeup, and lotion, resume shaving and apply skincare products to the treatment area after 24 hours as long as the skin is not broken and there is no extended redness, blistering or scabbing.
  • Thoroughly remove makeup and creams gently with a soft, clean cloth and mild cleanser. Pat to dry. The treated area is very delicate and should be treated with care. Excess rubbing can open the area and may lead to scarring.
  • If scabbing, blistering, or signs of infection occur, please contact the provider.

For best results: We recommend follow-up and repeat laser hair removal treatments every 4-6 weeks, with a series of 9 treatments depending on your personalized care plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I apply a cool compress to the treated area?

If you are experiencing swelling following your treatment, you can wet a soft washcloth with cool (not cold) water and place it on your skin for a few minutes at a time.

What if I have to use prescription creams?

If you use a prescription cream it is best to discuss this with your doctor prior to treatment. They will advise you if it is safe to continue using it following laser hair removal.

Does laser hair removal have any side effects?

Following treatment, you may notice redness or discoloration. These are common but temporary, only lasting for 1-3 days.

I am so happy with the results of my laser hair removal! Hair was a big problem for me before I was referred by my friend to come here. It was pain-free, fast and very effective! I can say this is the best laser clinic in Mississauga &  trust me, I have shopped around & been to many other places before. PLUS you won't find prices like theirs anywhere !! I highly recommend.
