✨ What You Need to Know Before Laser Hair Removal

Ready to Ditch Razors for Good?

Ready to ditch razors, waxing appointments, and those dreaded ingrown hairs for good? Laser hair removal could be your ticket to smooth, carefree skin—but before you book, let me walk you through everything you need to know to get the best results possible (and avoid any surprises!).

💡 How Does Laser Hair Removal Actually Work?

Here's the science made simple:

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles.

The laser heats and damages the follicle, stopping future hair growth at the source.

The catch? Hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only zap hair in its active growth phase. That's why multiple sessions are essential—we need to catch every follicle as it wakes up! Modern technology has come a long way, making treatments effective for a wider range of skin tones and hair types than ever before.

🔄 It's Not One-and-Done (But It IS Worth It!)

Let's bust the biggest myth right now: one session won't leave you hair-free forever.

You'll typically need 8 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart (depending on the area).

Here's why:

Only about 20% of your hair is actively growing at any given time. Multiple sessions ensure we catch every single follicle as it enters that growth phase

—giving you those smooth, long-lasting results you're dreaming of!

🎨 Not All Hair & Skin Types Respond the Same

Best results? Dark hair on lighter skin—the contrast makes targeting easier.

Good news for darker skin tones: Advanced laser technology means you can absolutely achieve amazing results with the

right equipment and an experienced practitioner (that's me!).

The tricky bit: Blonde, red, grey, or white hair contains little to no melanin, making it nearly impossible for the laser to target. If you have very light hair,

laser may not be your best option—but let's chat during your consultation!

✅ Preparation is EVERYTHING

Want the best results? Follow these pre-treatment must-dos:

🪒 Shave 24 Hours Before Hair needs to be just beneath the skin surface. Shaving = perfect. Waxing, threading, or tweezing = big no-no

(they remove the root the laser needs!).

☀️ Avoid Sun & Fake Tan No sun exposure, sunbeds, or self-tanners for at least 4 weeks before treatment. Tanned skin = higher risk of burns and pigmentation issues.

🧴 Skip Harsh Skincare Pause retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliants a few days before—they make skin extra sensitive.

💧 Stay Hydrated Hydrated skin = better treatment response and faster healing!

🛋️ What to Expect During Your Session

Most clients describe the sensation as a quick rubber band snap followed by warmth. Sensitive areas (hello, bikini line!) may be a bit more uncomfortable,

but sessions are fast! I'll apply cooling gel and use equipment with built-in cooling to keep you comfortable throughout.

Session times:

Small areas (upper lip): ~10 minutes

Larger areas (full legs): ~1 hour

🧖‍♀️ Aftercare = Amazing Results

Your skin will be more sensitive post-treatment, so treat it kindly:

✅ Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks + wear SPF 30+ daily

✅ No hot baths, saunas, or intense workouts for 24–48 hours

✅ Moisturize regularly to soothe skin

✅ Don't pick or scratch treated areas

✅ Skip makeup/perfumed products for 24 hours on treated skin

Slight redness or swelling immediately after? Totally normal—it usually disappears within hours!

🎉 Hair Shedding = It's Working!

See hair in the treated area 1–2 weeks post-session? Don't panic—this is GOOD!

That's the damaged hair being pushed out of the follicle. The shedding process can take up to 2 weeks and means the treatment is doing its job!

Between sessions: Shave as needed, but absolutely NO waxing, tweezing, or threading—you'll interfere with your results!

⏳ Results Take Time (But They're SO Worth It!)

Real talk: You won't see full results after session one. Hair reduction is gradual:

📊 Most clients notice significant improvement after 3–4 sessions

🎯 By the end of your treatment plan: 70–100% hair reduction

✨ Some areas (face, bikini) may need occasional maintenance 1–2x/year due to hormones

Patience = permanent smoothness!

⚠️ Who Shouldn't Have Laser Hair Removal?

Skip treatment if you:

❌ Are pregnant or breastfeeding

❌ Have active skin infections, open wounds, or sunburn

❌ Took Roaccutane in the last 6 months

❌ Have certain conditions (vitiligo, lupus, keloid scarring)

❌ Have very light, grey, or white hair (laser won't work)

Always share your full medical history during your consultation so I can ensure this treatment is safe and right for you!
