Laser hair removal is becoming increasingly popular. As a way to completely get rid of traditional hair removal methods like waxing, laser hair removal seems appealing to most people. However, neglecting certain rules or having it done at unreliable establishments can lead to undesirable results. Dr. Lida Çiteli has compiled what you need to pay attention to before laser hair removal…
---1) Stop Hair Removal Methods That Remove Hair from the Root
Stop using methods that remove hair from the root, such as waxing, threading, or tweezing, 4 weeks before your laser hair removal appointment. These practices can negatively affect the epilation process.
---2) Do Not Tan for 4 Weeks Before the Application
Avoid direct sun exposure for 4 weeks before your laser hair removal. Steer clear of tanning, sunbeds, and hair-lightening applications.
---3) Shorten the Hairs
Three days before your laser hair removal session, shorten the length of your hairs with a razor. A hair length of 1-2 mm is sufficient.
---4) Pay Attention to Infection
Before laser hair removal, there should be no active infection in the area to be treated. The area must be clean and free of makeup.
---5) Do Not Use These Products
Do not use creams containing retinoids, glycolic acid, or chemical peeling products 15 days before your laser hair removal session.
