It works best on untanned skin. To prepare for your treatment, minimize sun exposure for several weeks before your treatment. Since laser hair removal targets the hair follicle under the skin, we recommend that you do not wax or tweeze for at least a month before treatment. Shaving is OK, as it leaves the follicles intact under the skin.
Shave the area that is receiving treatment a few hours before you come in. Do not wear lotions, deodorants, perfumes, or skin creams to your appointment.
