Before laser hair removal, you must 

shave the area 12-24 hours prior, avoid waxing/plucking for 4-6 weeks, stop sun exposure/tanning (2+ weeks), and arrive with clean skin free of makeup, lotions, and deodorant; also, avoid irritating skincare products like retinoids and alpha hydroxy acids for a few days before your session.Pre-Treatment Recommendations

• Shave the area: Shave 24 hours before your appointment to ensure the laser targets the follicle, not the hair above the skin.
• Avoid sun exposure: Do not tan, use tanning beds, or apply sunless tanning creams for at least 2-4 weeks prior to treatment.
• No plucking or waxing: Do not remove hair from the root for at least 4-6 weeks before your session.
• Clean skin: Arrive with clean, dry skin, free of lotions, creams, deodorants, or makeup. 

After laser hair removal, soothe skin with cool compresses and aloe, avoid sun, heat (saunas, hot baths, intense exercise), and irritants (fragrances, harsh soaps, scrubs) for several days to weeks, wear loose clothing, and only shave (no waxing/tweezing) between sessions to reduce redness and irritation and promote healing.  

Post-Treatment Care (What to Do)

• Keep it cool: Apply cool compresses or aloe vera to soothe the area and reduce redness or swelling.
• Apply sunscreen: Use SPF 30+ daily to prevent hyperpigmentation, as treated skin is highly sensitive to UV rays.
• Wear loose clothing: Avoid tight clothes to reduce friction and heat retention.
• Moisturize: Apply gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.
• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water to help the skin recover. 

What to Avoid (48-72 Hours Post-Treatment)

• No sun exposure: Avoid direct, intense sunlight for at least 2 weeks.
• No extreme heat: Skip hot showers, saunas, hot tubs, steam rooms, and heavy workouts, as this can worsen irritation and inflammation.
• No harsh products: Avoid lotions with perfumes, exfoliating scrubs, retinoids, and acids (like glycolic or salicylic) for at least 3-7 days.
• No deodorant: Do not apply deodorant for 24 hours if underarms were treated.
• Do not pluck or wax: Only shave between sessions if necessary.
