Shaving After Laser Hair Removal?

Is it safe to shave after a laser hair removal treatment, and in between treatments? Will I lose more or less hair with shaving?

Only shaving is recommended after laser hair removal

No waxing or tweezing in between the laser treatments. You can shave, but you won't need to do it as often because it will take longer for the hair to grow back. When you wax or tweeze you remove the hair by the root and there won't be any target for the laser during the treatment, therefore it won't be effective.
