But before you get on with your first laser hair removal session, it’s important to be fully ready for it.

Overview of Laser Hair Removal Process at Peachfuzz

‍
Before we get into the nitty gritty of your preparation for your laser hair removal, getting an overview of what happens during your appointment at Peachfuzz will help you know how to prepare for your session and what to expect during and after your appointment.

‍
Peachfuzz Laser is a great place for hair removal treatments. We’re known for effective laser hair
removal treatments even in challenging areas. Whether you need ingrown hair treatment for your face, or bikini line or you’re dealing with folliculitis on legs or any other areas of your body, we’re just what you need to get back your confidence.

‍
Our advanced laser technology is designed to effectively treat all forms of unwanted hair including
ingrown hair and hyperpigmentation on all hair and skin types. It works by focusing light energy on the hair follicles to disable their ability to grow, thereby giving you smoother skin over time. If you have dark skin or are prone to hyperpigmentation, our process ensures safe results that won’t irritate sensitive areas of your skin.

Essential Tips for Preparing Your Skin Before the Session

‍
For maximum and effective results these essential laser hair removal prep tips and guidelines will get your skin ready for your next laser hair removal session.

‍
1. Shave before Your Session: One of the most critical steps to getting your skin ready for your
first session is to shave 24 to 48 hours before the session. This allows the laser to get a better
hold of the hair follicle without burning surface hairs.

‍
2. Stay away from the Sun: In the weeks leading up to your laser hair removal appointment, it’s
important to protect your skin from the sun especially if you have dark skin or concerns about
hyperpigmentation. Exposing your skin to the sun before your session can increase the risk of
irritation which could interfere with the results of your treatment.

‍
3. Do not wax or pluck your hairs: Although we encourage shaving, avoid waxing or plucking your
hair. Stay clear from depilatory creams for at least 4 weeks before your appointment. Doing any
of these uproots the hair follicles which our advanced lasers need to target for effective
removal.

‍
4. Consult About Medications: Skin medications can have an adverse effect on the treatment
procedure. Medications for skin conditions like folliculitis or hirsutism and many more can
increase sensitivity. Therefore, it’s important to let us know about your medications so we can
make adjustments that will accommodate that in your treatment plan.

‍
What to Expect During Your First Appointment

Although knowing what to do before laser hair removal sessions is vital, it will also be beneficial to know what to expect during the session so you can prepare yourself mentally for the journey ahead in reclaiming your smooth glowing skin.

‍
1. Before your first session with us at Peachfuzz Laser, one of our certified technicians consult with
you over the phone to assess your skin type, hair color, and your medical history. This will help
us determine the best laser hair removal treatment approach for your skin type.

‍
2. When you arrive for your session with us, we will do a secondary assessment of your skin to take
note of the areas where you might have hyperpigmentation or sensitive areas like a bikini line
which might be prone to ingrown hairs.

‍
3. We’ll provide you with protective eyewear and start the treatment procedure. We may ice the
treatment areas before or after the session. Our laser equipment will be adjusted based on your
skin color, hair color, and hair texture. With our handheld device, our technician will deliver
controlled pulses of laser light to damage hair follicles and inhibit growth. This process
incorporates a cooling feature in our lasers for added comfort. This also ensures minimal
irritation especially for dark skins or any skin prone to hyperpigmentation.

‍
Depending on the skin areas involved, this process could take 15 minutes to one hour. Most of our
clients describe the sensation of the laser hair removal procedure as mild stinging which means, you’ve got nothing to worry about.

‍
Post-Treatment Care and Recommendations

‍
Knowing all the essential laser hair removal tips and guidelines for the procedure is not enough. It’s
equally important that you understand what to expect and do after the treatment. Once you’ve
completed your session with us, it’s important that you:

‍
Soothe and Moisturize: After your treatment, you might experience slight redness or discomfort. In
such cases, you might need to apply ice packs or skincare products for glowing skin like the Fuzz Clinic’s After Glow Aloe and Arnica Soothing gel. This will help relieve you of the discomfort and help your skin recover fast from the symptoms. Do not use heavy lotions or oils on the treated areas especially if they’re prone to hyperpigmentation e.g. the bikini line.

‍
Avoid Sun Exposure: Amongst numerous post-treatment laser hair removal tips, staying away from the sun is the basic, but most important thing to remember. Your treated areas must stay off the sun especially if you had hyperpigmentation removal. If you can’t completely avoid the sun, use high-SPF sunscreen to prevent irritation and darkening of the skin.

‍
Exfoliate: One week after your session, gently exfoliate your treated areas to prevent ingrown hairs
especially if you received treatment on bikini line or face.

‍
Multiple Sessions: If you’re truly committed to achieving flawless hairless skin, then one laser hair
removal session is not enough. Folliculitis and hyperpigmentation on the back of the neck, back of the head, or other areas like the face and bikini line need more attention since more hair tends to appear there. Repeating the laser hair removal session or procedure several times will help to stop hair growth completely in those areas.
