How to prepare for Laser Hair Removal

by Anamika Sharma Dermatologist and Skin Specialist
Laser hair removal uses light-based energy to target and damage the hair follicles, finally reducing the hair growth in the target areas. Different types of lasers are used according to the skin tone and texture to achieve optimum results. Multiple sessions are required to achieve desired results, as one treatment is not enough to achieve optimum results. Laser hair removal is used to remove unwanted hairs present on the neck, chest, face, armpits, legs, arms, fingers, toes, feet, genitals, back, and many more. It is always recommended to have a proper consultation with a qualified dermatologist, prior to laser treatment. One must learn about the side effects, and also determine whether you are an ideal candidate to undergo laser hair removal treatment. Always share your medical history, medications, treatments, history of skin disorders with your doctor. Before undergoing the treatment.

If you are interested in getting rid of those ugly unwanted body hairs, Veya Aesthetics provides with a safe and permanent solution with the advanced Laser Hair Removal in Delhi. During the laser hair treatment, it is also important to follow the instructions as directed by your doctor. The following tips will help you to get prepared for laser hair removal treatment:

1. Protect yourself from the sun:
Always apply sunscreen and protect yourself from the sun from at least six weeks before the treatment. Tanning can increase the risk of burn or hyperpigmentation from the laser treatment, says the most renowned and experienced dermatologist and skin specialist, Dr Rajat Kandhari (MD, MBBS).

2. Avoid waxing, epilation, and plucking:
Plucking, waxing, and electrolysis must not be performed, as it removes the hair follicle. Lasers target the hair follicle, and after waxing there won’t be anything for the laser to target. One, can perform shaving and trim on the day before the laser treatment. This process removes the hair present above the skin surface that can result in skin surface damage from burnt hair, during the laser hair removal procedure. Shaving preserves the hair shaft and follicle for laser treatment. Also, do not perform waxing in-between the laser sessions. Shaving can be performed between the laser sessions.

3. Cleanse your skin:
On the day of your laser hair removal session, do not apply any type of cosmetics, creams, and lotions. If you have applied anything on your skin, remove it prior to your treatment.

4. Wear loose-fitting clothing:
After the treatment, the soothing topical cream is applied. So, always wear loose clothing to avoid the cream to get on clothing. Tight clothes can make you feel uncomfortable and can make your skin sensitive after the treatment.

5. Protect your eyes:
Always wear protective laser safety eyewear or goggles during the laser treatment. The eyewear protects the eyes and retina from the radiations that come from a laser.

After the laser hair removal treatment, the hair does not fall out immediately, and they will shed on their own after a few days or weeks after treatment. Hence, repeated sessions are required as hair growth and loss occur in a cycle, and laser targets the hair follicles that are in the new stage of growth. The length of the laser treatment depends upon the area to be treated, and the session may last from minutes to hours. After the laser hair removal, you may experience temporary redness and swelling. It is always important to protect your skin from direct sunlight and always apply sunscreen with high SPF.
