Okay to Use Depilatory Creams Before and Inbetween Laser Hair Removal Sessions? I know waxing, threading and plucking are not allowed, and bleaching is probably not recommended, but can depilatory creams be used instead of shaving?

A: Avoid depilatory creams during laser hair removal sessions

It is best to avoid depilatory creams (as well as waxing, plucking, threading as mentioned) while you are undergoing laser hair removal. As stated previously, depilatory creams can dissolve a portion of the hair shaft which may make future laser sessions less beneficial. It is best to stick with shaving between sessions as necessary.

Laser Hair Removal Anesthesia Are You Put to Sleep Whilst Having Laser Hair Removal?

A: Anesthesia not always necessary for laser hair removal

Many people tolerate the procedure just fine without any anesthesia, but of course pain threshold can vary from person to person. If necessary, a topical anesthetic can be applied 30 minutes to one hour prior to the procedure, but caution must be used when treating a large body surface area as too much absorption can be dangerous. Most lasers used for hair removal have a built-in cooling device which also helps to make the treatment more comfortable.

	“Laser brazilian - best kept secret!...” I first tried laser hair removal at a well advertised and reputable place in NYC for my underarms. After six treatments, I'd say 90% has been removed. The remaining are very sporadic and fine - so not a problem. But I was a little concerned that each time I went, they used a different machine on me - sometimes laser, sometimes IPL. I'd say I'm 8 out of 10 in satisfaction. So when... more
	“Regained Confidence W/ Laser Hair...” The first two treatments I experienced unbareable pain, but as I had more treatments the pain lessened. I am a little disappointed because I was expecting it to remove the hair, where it merely reduced the hair in some areas. Wasn't prepared for that considering the cost. more
	“It Didn't Work for Me.” I had it done about 3 years ago on underarms and bikini area and it seamed as though it was working at first. It took about 10 treatments on each area and after about 3 years 80% of the hair is back. It is slightly thinner but nowhere near gone. more
	“Definate Reduction” I have had several laser hair removal treatments, 12 to the chin and neck, 1 so far on my mustash, and 5 on my legs, underarms, and brazilian bikini. I have to say that although it took longer than the prescribed "6 treatments" to remove the hair from my chin and neck, I do see a marked improvement. I had hoped to be completely hair free. The few hairs remaining are lighter in... more
	“Man and Laser Hair Removal” I have had seven treatment so far on my back, shoulders, chest, stomach and buttocks. Very good results so far. The hair that has grown back are thin and light. American Laser Centers guarantees results for up to two years. I am hopeful that the eight session will get rid of the remaining hairs for good. I am going to do my legs next. My goal here is for hair reduction and not removal. As a... more
	“Love It, Even Though Some Bad...” I first tried laser and IPL hair removal when it first came out, I love trying new beauty solutions. I got a free session somewhere for underarms in the late 90's. Loved it. But it wasn't until 2 years ago I started getting regular treatments. I started during Spa Week, a week when many spas do $50 treatments, so I got my underarms done. My favorite was The Skin Spa in NYC, very nice people,... more
	“12 TX - Male Beard - DISASTER -...” I had laser hair removal on my beard. 12 treatments over the course of two years. Now I have large patches all over my face like a checkerboard. I look like a freak. Men do not get laser on your beard!! The patches only get worse with more treatment. I complained to the clinic and they tell me this is normal?! They just kept telling me to get more treatments. Then when it kept getting worse... more
	“Smooth As Butter After my Laser Hair...” Laser Hair Removal worked very well for me.Contrary to what people think about how expensive NYC really is, i got my job done at a great affordable rate and the results were fantastic too. I got it done for my chin, ears, belly button line, side burns and payed a total of around 400 bucks. It was slightly painful and uncomfortable, but when i imagied myself WITHOUT all these unwanted hair, the... more
	“Laser Hair Removal for Ingrown Hairs” My skin needed help from ingrown hair problems. I had pigmentation changes that were really ugly and frankly I grew tired of going to waxings and dropping money in exchange for ingrown hairs. I decided to get laser hair removal after hearing about it from several friends that it left them with great skin that got color back in the ingrown hair spots. The entire process on my legs cost... more
