What to Expect Before, During, and After your Visit

1. Pre-Treatment Do’s and Don’t’s

DON’T pluck, wax, or do Epilation (also called “EpiLady”) AT LEAST 3 weeks
before your treatment (or anytime in-between treatments). Click Here to ready
why.
DON’T use a tanning bed or mystic tan AT LEAST 3 weeks prior to your
treatment.
DON’T use Accutane medication AT LEAST 6 months prior to your treatment.
Make sure to consult with you physician prior to stopping/starting any
medication(s).
DO shave ALL of the areas which you would like to get lasered BEFORE you
come in for your scheduled appointment. For female facial hair, don't shave
the area in order to prevent unnecessary shaving of "peach-fuzz". If shaving is
necessary, the nurse can do so during your treatment. For male facial hair,
have the entire facial area shaved clean prior to treatment. Click Here to read
why.
DO update us regarding any new medications you are taking or any new health
conditions we should be aware of, which were not previously disclosed on
your patient health history form.

2. What to Expect during your visit

Forms: You are asked to arrive about 15 minutes before your FIRST visit in
order to fill out your new patient forms. For all other appointments after your
first visit, you can arrive a few minutes before your scheduled visit.
Treatment Room: Your laser treatment will promptly begin at you scheduled
appointment time. Once you enter the treatment room, our professional nurse
will ask you a couple questions about the areas you would like to treat that
day. After that, you’re all set to start the treatment.

3. AFTER your laser hair removal treatment:

SPF, SPF, SPF!!! As always, not just after laser treatments, make sure to continually apply SPF 30 or higher
to your face, chest, and hands (these are the most sensitive areas, especially while you’re driving). We
carry SkinMedica’s SPF 50+ in our office for purchase, and is a highly recommended product for post-
laser treatments (especially for the face).
What will happen to the hair after my treatment? Once you leave our office, you will be set on a 14-day
timeline to see the full results of your treatment. You will notice that the hair has halted growth but has
not fallen off yet. Please be patient, because on that 14th magical day, you will notice that the hairs are
falling out on their own! It’s true, when you scrub the treatment area after 14days, you will notice the hairs
just coming right out. These are remnants of the dead hairs from your laser treatment. However…. After
about 4 weeks, hair regrowth will begin for the un-treated hair roots. That is why it is SO IMPORTANT to
follow-up your treatments every 4 weeks! This is probably one of the most important parts of the laser
hair removal process if you want to get optimal results in the shortest number of visits.
Should I shave or wax between treatments? I don’t want to look hairy …. You can definitely shave
between your treatments, but you CAN NOT WAX, PLUCK, or EPILADY.
