Laser hair removal is a popular method of hair removal for people looking for long-lasting results so they can avoid the regular hassle of shaving or the pain of waxing and plucking. For maximum results, your hair removal specialist will let you know the best way to prep your skin before your laser treatment and how to care for it following the procedure. After your laser hair removal, it is important to avoid picking or scratching at the treated area. Your practitioner can provide you with recommendations on any options that are safe to use on the treated skin should it get itchy or dry. During the course of your hair removal treatment, avoid using any other method of hair removal in order to achieve the best results. It is also important to avoid the direct sun on the treated area for at least the first week and continue to apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 on the treated areas for the entire length of your laser hair removal treatments.
