When The Body Sculpting Center invests in anything, we always want to make sure it’s going to be worth our time and money. When it comes to cosmetic treatments, our patients are always asking how they can get the most out of their cosmetic treatments. Today, we wanted to outline for you his top five ways to get the most out of your laser hair removal treatments, so you can ensure you’re satisfied with your results for years to come.
1. Avoid Tanning Before Each Laser Hair Removal Session
No matter how you look at it, exposure to the sun can damage the skin in a major way. It’s important that for at least six weeks leading up to your laser hair removal treatments that you avoid going out in the sun to tan. Going tanning or spending excess time out in the sun can cause some complications with the hair removal process during your treatments, hindering your results. We also recommend avoiding the sun after each treatment session, as your skin will be extra sensitive from the lasers.
2. Don’t Wax, Pluck or Bleach While Going Through the Process
It’s important that you don’t wax, pluck or bleach your hair before your laser hair removal treatment sessions. Laser hair removal works by targeting each individual hair follicle under the skin. When you pluck or remove the hair from the root, there is no follicle for the laser to target, which can mess with the results of your treatment.
3. Shave the Day Before Each Laser Hair Removal Treatment Session
While it may seem counterintuitive to shave right before your laser hair removal treatment session, trimming the hairs actually helps prep them for treatment. The lasers work best by targeting hair that is in the active growing stage, which can be triggered when shaving the hair a day or two before your treatment session. The Body Sculpting Center will let you know exactly when you should shave for ultimate results.
4. Get Multiple Treatments as Recommended by Your Doctor
Many patients come into our office thinking laser hair removal is a one-and-done type of treatment. In reality, it can take up to six to eight treatment sessions to get the results you desire from your laser hair removal treatments. In order to get the most from your laser hair removal, it’s important that you get the amount of treatments outlined by The Body Sculpting Center team. By skipping out on treatments, you can be skipping out on results.
5. Skincare is a Must
Medical-grade skincare can make all the difference in the results of your laser hair removal treatments. Keeping your skin clean, moisturized and healthy throughout your laser hair removal treatment process can ensure your hair’s lifecycle can be carried out properly for smooth, long-lasting results. Dr. Philpott and his staff will be more than happy to provide you with a personalized skincare routine during your one-on-one laser hair removal consultation.
