What should I do between hair removal treatments?

Once you begin your laser hair removal treatments, you can only shave. When you shave, you only remove the hair on the surface and leave the root untouched. In order for the laser hair removal to be effective, the light needs to be attracted to the root of the hair, or hair follicle. After each treatment, the hair will take longer to grow back and when it does, it will be much less, meaning that you won't need to shave very often.
