Laser hair removal is an advanced and highly efficient way to get smooth, hair-free skin. It provides results that are not only skin-deep, but confidence-boosting and long-lasting. Whether you are a first-timer at Laser Hair Removal or getting your next appointment, knowing what to expect beforehand and following up after treatment will guarantee the best results. Here’s everything you need to know.
1. First Consultation is Important
Before starting your smoother skin journey, you will typically have a consultation with an experienced dermatologist. This important step involves evaluating your skin type, hair texture, and treatment goals to create a personalized plan. It also helps determine how many sessions you may need and any specific Post-Laser Care instructions.
2. Avoid the Sun
Avoid sun exposure and tanning (including self-tanners) for at least two weeks before your appointment. Tanned or sunburned skin increases the risk of side effects and may delay your treatment. Always use broad-spectrum sunscreen with strong UV protection whenever you are outside.
3. No Waxing or Tweezing
While shaving is permitted, do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams for 4 weeks beforehand. Laser attacks the pigment of the hair follicle, and it must be intact for maximum effect.
4. Avoid Active Skincare Products
Discontinue products with active ingredients like retinoids, glycolic acids, or salicylic acid in the treatment area a few days before your session. These can make your skin more sensitive to the laser.
Before Your Laser Hair Reduction Session
During the Session
Your laser technician will clean the area, put on protective eyewear, and treat the area with a high-tech diode laser that accurately targets the unwanted hair. The sensation is usually described as a gentle snapping or a warm buzzing feeling. With the latest cooling technology at The Klarity Clinic, the process is fast and comfortable.
The actual results only come after the treatment — provided you use the proper post-laser care.
1. Redness is to be Expected
There may be some redness or minor swelling of the hair follicles, which should disappear in a few hours. Cooling the area with a gentle compress or hydrating gel may provide fast relief.
2. Proper Post-Laser Care is Important
For 24-48 hours following treatment, do not have hot showers, intense exercise, steam rooms, or tight clothing that may irritate the site. Moisturizing and keeping the area clean is a must. Be sure to follow any instructions from our experts to prevent irritation or complications.
3. Hair Shedding May Take Time
Don’t anticipate sudden hair loss. Treated hairs will start shedding within 7–14 days after treatment. Don’t give in to the temptation to pull them out — let nature run its course.
4. Don't Use Makeup and Fragrant Products
With facial treatments, stay away from makeup, scented products, and active ingredients for a minimum of 24 hours. Allow your skin to breathe and heal without unnecessary stimulants.
5. Shield Your Skin from the Sun
Your skin will feel more sensitive post-session. Sun protection is absolute. Apply sunscreen regularly, even if you are just indoors, to avoid hyperpigmentation and keep your results in place.
After Your Laser Hair Reduction Session
