How to prepare for laser hair removal?

Check the credentials of the service provider: Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that carries potential side effects, thus, should be performed by a certified professional only. Therefore, before getting the laser hair removal, make sure to check the certifications of the technician performing the procedure.

Avoid other hair removal procedures: Also, before you undergo laser therapy for unwanted hair, don’t go for the other hair removal methods like plucking, waxing, and electrolysis at least six weeks before the treatment.

Limit the sun exposure: Limit the sun exposure to a minimum of six weeks before the treatment. It is so because sun rays decrease the effectiveness of laser therapy and increase the risk of getting post-treatment complications.

Risks and side effects of laser hair removal:

Side effects of laser hair removal vary considerably depending on various factors such as hair growth, skin type, hair colour, treatment plan, medical history, area to be treated and so on. The most common side effects of laser hair removal are:

Laser therapy might lighten or darken the treated area. This change in skin complexion may be permanent or temporary. However, skin change often affects those people who don’t limit sun exposure before and after the laser treatment.

Skin irritation:

Skin irritation is one of the most common side effects of laser hair removal. People getting laser hair removal are most likely to experience slight discomfort, inflammation, redness, itching and other temporary skin issues after the procedure. Any signs of skin irritation typically disappear within a few hours.

Skin scars:

In the worst-case scenario, some people also experience scarring, blistering, crusting, and other skin issues after laser hair removal.
