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.

The only hair removal method to be used between laser treatments is shaving.  Tweezing and waxing will not only remove the target for the next laser treatment, they will disrupt the synchronization of hair growth cycles that we are trying to achieve with the treatments. The more hairs are in the same growth cycle, the more effective the laser treatment will be. If you are treating an area with few hairs, you can also carefully clip them with cuticle scissors. more

Between laser hair treatments the best thing to do is either shave or trim closely.  The laser needs to see a small hair present to detect hair pigmentation.  While its ok to wax early between sessions you should not wax or pluck as your next session gets close.  When your session is approaching it is best to have some minimal hair growth. 

Between hair removal treatments the only thing that is recommended is shaving. Waxing, threading or tweezing should be stopped all together prior and during any hair removal procedures.

Once you begin your laser hair removal treatments we ask that you only shave. You only want to shave because that will only remove the hair from the surface, this method will not affect the hair follicle. If you use other methods such as plucking or waxing, this actually pulls the hair from the root and that doesn’t allow the laser to do its job.
