Laser Hair Removal Preparation Guide

 

Laser hair removal is becoming increasingly popular due to the long term results it offers as well as the time that it saves in not having to remove unwanted hair on a daily basis.

However there a few basic rules that should be followed in order for you to get the most out of your laser hair removal treatments. Make sure that you are fully prepared and have done your research before you book your first appointment.

Avoid Retin A Skin care Products

For example you should stay well clear of retin A products as these make your skin more sensitive and cause it to react to the laser. This can be easily avoided by taking a look at the back of the skincare products at the ingredients label.

Avoid Waxing, Plucking And Using An Epilator

This one is very important – if you want to get the very best out of your Laser hair removal treatments then waxing, plucking or using an epilator is out of the question. If you have used any of these recently then you should allow for three to four weeks before having your treatment.

10 Things You Shouldn’t Do Before Choosing Laser

Eyebrow Laser Hair Removal Guide

Having Laser Hair Removal on your eyebrows is a regular enquiry at our London clinics by both men and women. Having devastatingly shapely eyebrows to frame and enhance your eyes without having to constantly tweeze and pluck would be heaven!.

Unfortunately the news is mixed when it comes to your eyebrows.

Eyebrow Laser

Laser can be achieved on most places that hair grows on the skin, however the eyebrows are a little different. The fact that they are so close to the eye and todays laser technology being extremely powerful, make it unsafe to perform laser to shape your eyebrows.

This is not to say that some eyebrow treatments can’t be done, but there are one or two rules and guidelines that must be followed in order to keep the treatment safe.

Laser between eyebrows – Unibrow (Glabella)

The good news is you can use laser if you have hair growing between the eyebrows. If you have a unibrow or excess hair joining the eyebrows together (The correct medical term for the area is called the glabella) laser hair removal can be performed on the glabella.

Eye Protection for eyebrow laser

For one it is imperative that eye protection is worn at all times during the treatment as the laser light is extremely powerful without the necessary precautions can cause damage to the eye.

The goggles provided should provide the wavelength specific protection to suit whichever type of laser that is being used. Different wavelengths are used on light and darker skin tones so ensure the right safety goggle are worn

Patch Test

A patch test is a little test performed on a small area of skin that is used to determine the optimum level of the laser energy that is required to get the required results as well as providing the opportunity to gauge the skins reaction to the laser.

Most people are ok to have Laser Hair Removal however there are some who can have reactions to the laser which is why a patch test is very important.

You must wait a minimum of 24 hours after the patch test before any laser hair removal treatment can go ahead
