Pre Treatment Care Tips
To ensure the best results possible it is important to follow a few simple instructions:
Use sun screen daily in preparation for your treatments.
Wearing sun screen not only creates optimal laser hair removal results but also, protects your skin. See our extensive listing of dermatologically advanced skin care products to learn about the latest in skin protection from Smooth Solutions.
Inform us of sun exposure and tanning.
The risk of complications increases if you have had a change in skin color, a sunburn, and/or initial sun exposure in the past 30 days. It is very important that you speak with your technician if you have had any of the above listed instances.
Do not pluck, wax, bleach, or use depilatories on the treatment area 30 days before treatment.
These methods of hair removal take the hair shaft out of the follicle. For the laser treatment to be effective the hair shaft must remain in the follicle. Bleaching removes the pigment from the hair shaft and leaves no target for the laser.
Discontinue the use of any retinoid products on the treatment area at least 24 hours prior to your treatment.
Be sure to let your technician know if you are using any type(s) of medication.
