Important Steps You Need To Take Before Getting Hair Removal Using Laser

By Donald Wood


Even though it's a quite costly procedure, many still pay for laser treatment. It doesn't really come as a big surprise as the FDA says it is the only treatment on the face of the planet that can reduce the number of excess hairs for good. Since it's hard on the pocket, you need to carry out everything necessary to make the most out of this very popular beauty treatment. Read on to know which steps you should take up to a month prior to your laser hair removal.

Apply sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 on a daily basis. Laser seeks out melanin, which is a dark colored type of pigment. It's a must for your hairs to contain more melanin than your skin. Otherwise, it is the skin that will be targeted by laser. This can leave you in a great deal of pain as well as your money flushed down the drain. A month before getting treatment, regularly apply sunscreen.

Do not get a tan in any other way. Skin care experts say that the use of tanning beds and lamps are contraindicated. Again, it's for the fact that hairs to be removed should have more melanin than your skin. By the way, you should also refrain from applying self tanning creams and sprays.

Refrain from undergoing bleaching. Melanin in those unwanted facial and body hairs can be zapped by bleaching. About 1 month before you head to the medical spa to get laser treatment, stop paying for a bleaching session. Otherwise, none of the hairs you wish to remove will be able to absorb laser.

Refrain from waxing or plucking, too. You may be enticed to wax or pluck just to get a preview of your hairless skin after a laser procedure. Unfortunately, this is something that you should avoid at all costs a month before the treatment. The roots need to be around because they are the ones that laser destroys. Without any root, undergoing laser is futile.

Shave before you step foot inside the medical spa. On the other hand, it is highly encouraged for you to shave on the day of the procedure. This helps ensure that laser will end up zapping the roots, not your skin. If you tend to develop a rash after shaving, it's a good idea for you to shave two days in advance.

Exfoliate while you're taking a shower. If there are lots of dead skin cells around, you may fail to end up with the results you've been dreaming about. This is why exfoliating is another step that you should carry out on the day of the treatment. Just make sure that you dodge an exfoliating preparation that can cause product buildup. Reach for a loofah or sponge to effectively get rid of too much dead skin cells.

Refrain from using any cosmetic product. Exfoliating very well is pointless if you apply something on your skin afterwards. It goes without saying that having a squeaky clean skin is a must. This helps see to it that nothing can keep laser from doing its job.
