For the best results and a comfortable treatment experience, proper preparation before your laser hair removal appointment is important. Follow these guidelines before your treatment:

• Shave the treatment area 24–48 hours before your appointment. Shaving removes the hair above the skin while leaving the follicle intact for the laser to target.
• Do not wax, tweeze, thread, or epilate the treatment area for at least 4 weeks before your appointment. These methods remove the hair from the follicle and can make laser hair removal less effective.
• Avoid tanning and minimize sun exposure before treatment. Do not use tanning beds or intentional tanning, and protect the treatment area with broad-spectrum SPF when outdoors. Recently tanned skin may increase the risk of irritation or pigmentation changes.
• Avoid self-tanners and spray tans before your appointment. Your skin should be free of artificial tanning products in the treatment area.
• Arrive with clean skin. Avoid applying lotions, oils, deodorant, makeup, or other products to the treatment area immediately before your appointment.
• Avoid irritating skincare products on the treatment area. Depending on the area being treated, your provider may recommend temporarily stopping products that can increase skin sensitivity.
• Tell your provider about medications and skincare products you are using. Certain medications or products can make the skin more sensitive to laser treatment.
• Avoid treating irritated or sunburned skin. If the treatment area is sunburned, irritated, or otherwise compromised, contact the Wellness Center of Cleveland before your appointment.

Important: Your provider will review your skin and hair type, treatment area, and medical history and may provide additional preparation instructions specific to your treatment.

Laser hair removal works by targeting hair follicles during their active growth phase. Because not all hairs are growing at the same time, multiple treatment sessions are typically needed to achieve optimal hair reduction.

After completing your initial series, maintenance treatments may be recommended to help manage regrowth over time.

For the best long-term results:

• Follow your recommended treatment schedule. Staying consistent with your appointments helps target hair during the appropriate growth cycles.
• Shave between treatments as needed. Shaving is generally the preferred method of hair removal while undergoing laser treatments.
• Avoid waxing, tweezing, threading, and epilating between sessions. These methods remove the follicle, which is the target of laser hair removal.
• Protect your skin from the sun. Consistent sun protection is important throughout your treatment plan and afterward. Use broad-spectrum SPF and minimize prolonged sun exposure to the treated areas.
• Avoid tanning. Tanning can increase the risk of irritation and pigmentation changes and may require your treatment to be postponed.
• Maintain your recommended skincare routine. Keeping the skin healthy and moisturized can help support a comfortable treatment experience.
• Don't be concerned by some regrowth between treatments. Hair may continue to appear as different follicles enter their growth phase. This does not necessarily mean the treatment isn't working.
• Schedule maintenance treatments when recommended. Some patients may experience occasional regrowth even after completing their initial treatment series. Periodic maintenance treatments can help keep unwanted hair under control.
