I've had some people tell me to take ibuprofin or acetomenphin before I get waxed.... but I've had other aestheticians tell me not to because I might bleed more.
What is the truth??
The safer choice would be acetaminophen, but either will work just fine. To avoid any major pain, make sure your hair is trimmed and about 1/4 inch in length to ensure no excessive "pulling" is needed. That will help your technician wax easier and faster, which will in return ease your pain. Good luck!
My LHR tech prefers me to NOT shave before my appts to see my progress since I am having terrible results. (I am light- skinned with dark hair and have been treating my full face and underarms for 3 years, and still not close to being hair-free.) She asseses, then shaves for me. Frequently I notice after my treatments, she does not shave closely and most of my hair is still ABOVE skin as stubble. Is the treatment ineffective beacuse of this? Or will the laser still hit the pigment at the root?
Your technician is most likely trying to give you the best treatment possible. He/She is trying to access where the hair is, to make sure he/she can position the laser correctly. As long as he/she is not doing a close shave, your skin should be OK to be treated. If the hair is above the skin level, that is OK, unless you are experiencing burns or any other complications after the treatment. After 3 years of LHR you shouldn't need anymore treatments. At this point, I would try another type of laser to see if you get better results. Good Luck!
Is There A Way To Permanently Remove White Hairs? I'm 23
The most effective way to permanently remove white, very blond or grey hairs remains electrolysis. As with laser hair reduction which uses the pigment in hair as its target, electrolysis requires multiple treatments for permanence.
