Laser hair removal is more than just "zapping" unwanted hair. It is a medical procedure that requires training and experience to provide optimum results. Body Details has treated thousands of patients since we opened in March of 2006, and we are experts at the services we provide. When planning to undergo laser hair removal treatment, you should stop plucking, waxing for six weeks before treatment. True LaserÆ targets the hairs' roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking and will thereby render treatment ineffective. You may shave as often as you'd like leading up to your treatment date. You should also avoid sun exposure in the treatment area for six weeks before and after treatment whenever possible. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and makes complications after treatment more likely. You know your body best. Avoid scheduling treatments until you have cycled through any tan you may have previously received.
