Lasers have taken the beauty industry by storm in recent years as they are an incredibly effective way of significantly reducing hair growth across the body and face. That being said, there are certain measures you can take to make the most out of this state-of-the-art therapy. If you are awaiting your next session and are wondering what to avoid before and after laser treatments, here is everything you need to know:

Top Things to Avoid Before Your Laser Treatment

Waxing or Threading: Laser hair removal kills hair at the root. By waxing or threading, new hair begins to grow, which makes the laser less effective. Try shaving in between sessions instead to allow the laser treatments to work effectively.

Topical Acids and Retinol: It’s best to stick to a minimal skincare routine and avoid acids and retinol for a few days before and after your laser treatment to ensure your skin does not become irritated.

Important Things to Avoid After Your Laser Treatment

Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 48 hours after your session, and be sure to always wear sun protection in between sessions.

Saunas, Hot Showers, and Exercise: The heat from the laser can stay in the skin for a while, so avoid saunas, hot showers, and high-intensity exercise for at least 24 hours post-treatment.
