How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal Treatment

Are you looking forward to a carefree hair removal method that leaves your skin smooth in less time?

 

Then laser hair removal treatment is the best and safest option to eliminate unwanted face and body hair.

 

Laser hair removal is a trending and most popular performed cosmetic hair removal treatment. The technology removes unwanted hair from the face and body using laser energy and light beams that damage the pigment of the hair follicles and prevent future hair growth. 

 

This high-intensity light of a specific wavelength destroys hair follicles by targeting the pigments present in hair roots. Hence, the treatment result of laser hair removal treatment is more long-lasting compared to waxing, epilating, shaving, or threading. 

 

The unwanted hair of the bikini line, legs, underarms, chest, and back can be removed without any hassle and with less investment of time and money. It is also an extremely safe procedure that does not harm nearby skin because the laser energy is targeted to damage the pigment present in the hair follicles. 

 

To make sure that the hair is removed permanently, the patient must keep the following points in mind before the treatment begins. The preparation guidelines shared by Inform Clinics, the best clinic for permanent laser hair removal in Hyderabad are listed below:

 

  1. Do not wax or pluck hair: Lasers target the hair roots, so avoid waxing, electrolysis, and hair plucking that focuses on hair roots removal at least for a few weeks before going for treatment.

 

  1. Do shaving: It is important to shave the area one day before the scheduled appointment as it minimizes the risk of burns by heat produced by lasers.

 

  1. Stop hair bleaching: A bleached hair will change the color or pigmentation of hair roots, and it can be difficult to target by the laser because laser treatment more specifically targets the dark hair follicles. 

 

  1. Avoid direct sun exposure: At least for 21 days before laser treatment, the patient should stay away from sun tanning. Sun exposure can lead to excessive discoloration or painful blisters formation due to sunburns that can hamper laser treatment. Thus it is advised that the patient must use sunscreen creams before going out in the daytime.

 

  1. Have properly cleansed skin: The entire surface to be treated should be rinsed with water and soap. It should be clean and devoid of deodorants, cosmetic products, creams, and lotions. This is necessary as there will be fewer risks of having any discomfort such as skin irritation, discoloration, or burning.

 

  1. Do not use topical photosensitive products: Salicylic acid, hyd-rox-yl acid, and ret-in-ol should not be used for 3 days before laser procedure.

 

  1. Avoid other cosmetic treatments: For 2 weeks before treatment, the patient must not perform treatments like dermal fillers, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, or anti-aging injections.

 

  1. Consult a specialist: The advice of a skin and hair doctor for undergoing laser treatment is important. Initially, the medical aestheticians will review the patient’s medical history, check for medications (such as antibiotics, photosensitizing drugs, and birth control pills), examine the condition (such as acne or blisters) then discuss all the benefits, risks, and expectations. If one is considered an ideal candidate for this treatment, the patient is advised to go for the treatment.

 

  1. Check medications: Speak to the laser professional about the medications that one is taking, both oral and topical. Some medications can intervene with laser treatments and can make the treatment less effective. Some medications can make the skin sensitive and more likely to burn or blister. One must inform the doctor if they are taking antibiotics, birth control pills, or acne medication. Hence, the doctor will recommend stopping the consumption of certain medications and adjust them accordingly so that laser treatment is performed safely with proper precautions.

 

To minimize the risk of side effects after laser hair removal treatment, the patient must follow all the instructions provided by their doctor to get the best and safe results. Following these recommendations will significantly reduce the risk of experiencing side effects caused by laser treatments.
