In Grand Forks, it’s important to have confidence in your skin all year round. No matter the season, smooth skin is always in—and the best way to achieve that lasting, hair free look is with laser hair removal.
Our team at Total Skin Dermatology & Aesthetics can help you take back your time and energy with professionally administered laser hair removal. You can start by booking your consultation, but if you’ve already done that (or you’re still on the fence), you might be wondering, “what now?”
Regardless of where you’re at in the process, we’re here to share the most important must-knows to ensure you have a smooth laser hair removal experience.
#1 – Prepare Your Skin
To prepare for your laser hair removal treatment, stop all forms of waxing and plucking at least 4 to 6 weeks before your appointment. Because waxing and plucking disrupt the hair in the follicle, doing them too close to laser hair removal actually makes your treatment less effective.
On the other hand, we actually encourage you to shave 24 to 48 hours before your laser hair removal session! When your skin is smooth, the laser can more effectively target the follicle, so you maximize your results!
#2 – Avoid Sun Exposure
We all know the sun can cause us to tan, but you might not know that this tan occurs when the melanin in your skin increases. But increased melanin can make the laser less effective at targeting your hair follicles during treatment.
Our team recommends avoiding excessive sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before your scheduled appointment.
#3 – Cleanse Your Skin on Treatment Day
On the day of your laser hair removal in Grand Forks, come to your appointment makeup and skincare free, with completely clean skin. Beauty products can impact the accuracy of the laser, making the procedure less effective, and they can potentially damage your skin during treatment.
Cleaning your skin before your session and avoiding makeup, topical creams, and lotions on your treatment area helps to guarantee the best results from laser hair removal.
#4 – Understand How Laser Hair Removal Works
At its core, laser hair removal is a noninvasive procedure that uses laser light to damage your hair follicles and reduce unwanted hair growth. At Total Skin, we use the Motus AY laser for a comfortable process and effective results.
