How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Unwanted body hair is annoying and no amount of shaving or waxing is ever enough. The only viable solution is to go for permanent hair removal in Gurgaon, which involves laser treatment. Twachaa by Saraswat offers laser hair removal treatment to reduce or remove unwanted hair safely, painlessly, quickly, and permanently. However, the treatment may fail because of mistakes from the patient’s end. So, let’s focus on things that you need to do and avoid for the treatment to be successful.

Dos and Don’ts before a Laser air Removal Treatment

For the best results after undergoing a laser hair removal treatment, you need to follow some guidelines even before the procedure, such as: 

1. Stop waxing and plucking

Laser hair removal targets the roots of the hair. So, it is important not to wax or pluck the targeted area at least a few weeks prior to your first session. You do not have to refrain from shaving because it leaves the root in place. You can consult your laser hair removal clinic to know if you can resume plucking and waxing during the intervals of the sessions; although it is not recommended until the whole procedure is over.

2. Shave the area

As mentioned in the earlier point, even though you have to stop waxing and plucking before the treatment, it is essential to shave the area 24 to 48 hours before the first session. Even if the hair is not visible to the naked eye, the laser can still target the pigment located in the root of the hair. By shaving the area, the chances of burns can be decreased with hair staying beneath the skin’s surface.

3. Avoid exposure to the sun

You must avoid exposure to the sun for at least a couple of weeks before laser hair removal treatment. Exposure to the sun before the treatment can lead to skin discolouration once you are done with laser hair removal. Moreover, sunburn can cause blistering and excessive pain. Make sure to use sunscreen daily if it is impossible for you to avoid the sun. 

4. Avoid applying bleach

As mentioned earlier, the laser targets the root of the hair to remove it. The hair pigment or colour in the root absorbs the light generated by the laser, which ultimately destroys the hair permanently. However, when you bleach your hair, the pigment is altered and the hair becomes more difficult to target. So, it is a must to stop bleaching a few weeks ago before the treatment. 

5. Inform your doctor about your medications

It is crucial to let your laser hair removal clinic know about all of your medications, both oral and topical. Some medications may intervene with laser hair removal and make the treatment less effective. Other medications may cause the skin to burn or blister. Inform your doctor especially if you are on antibiotics, acne, birth control, or photosensitizing medications so they can adjust your treatment accordingly and proceed with caution. 

6. Remove creams and makeup from the area

The ingredients of beauty products can affect the results of laser hair removal sometimes. So, you should remove them before each session. It includes makeup, ointments, deodorant, lotions, or anything else applied to the area topically. Simply cleanse the area with soap and water before the treatment.
