Laser hair removal is a convenient, noninvasive method for permanently reducing or improving unwanted facial or body hair. It leaves the skin looking smoother and silkier than waxing, electrolysis or razors and is a gentle technique that can treat larger areas effectively with minimal discomfort and with no downtime. Today, laser hair removal is one of the most common aesthetic procedures performed in the United States.

​

In advance of your procedure, you will be asked  to:

• Wear sunscreen and/or avoid the sun

• Use a bleaching cream if you have darker skin

• Avoid pretreatment plucking, waxing, or electrolysis

• Stop smoking at least six weeks before undergoing treatment to promote better healing

• Avoid taking aspirin, certain anti-inflammatory drugs, and some herbal medications that can cause increased bleeding

• Regardless of the type of surgery to be performed, hydration is very important before and after treatment for safe recovery
