If you set your mind to try out an at-home laser hair removal treatment, then knowing how to prep your skin is a must. Let’s learn how to prepare your skin perfectly to achieve the best results.
Start of by cleaning and exfoliating the skin so that there are no dead cells, product build up or even dirt and dust left on the intended area. After cleaning it off completely, pat dry but DON’T put on any creams, lotions, oils or makeup on your body. This will form a film over the skin surface and won’t let the light from the laser to reach deep inside the epidermis layer.
Also, make sure that your skin didn’t come in direct contact with the sun or used a tanning bed before the laser treatment. Sun exposure and tanning bed can heat up your skin and cause severe burns and irritations when it comes in contact with the laser light.
