Laser hair removal results start with what you do between appointments. ✨
One of the most important laser hair removal prep rules: shave—don’t wax, tweeze, thread, or epilate between sessions.
Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment in the hair within the follicle. When you pull the hair from the root, you remove the target the laser needs. Shaving is different—it removes the hair above the skin while leaving the hair within the follicle available for treatment.
For the best results:
• Avoid waxing, tweezing, threading & epilating for about 4 weeks before your appointment
• Shave the treatment area as instructed before your session
• Follow your provider’s specific pre- and post-treatment instructions
• Stay consistent with your recommended treatment schedule
Already waxed or tweezed? Let your provider know before your appointment so we can help determine the best timing for your next session.
