I recently got my laser done for the first time a week ago on my face. It has a grown and it is quite noticable, I know I am not to suppose to wax or thread but I was wondering if it's ok to shave in between my treatments? Thanks
Answer: Shaving after first laser hair removal treatment It is recommended that you shave or use a depilatory cream during the laser hair removal process. Laser hair removal works by targeting the growing hair follicle in the dermis. At any given time only a small number of the hair follicles are active and growing. This is why multiple treatments are needed at 4-6 week intervals, to gradually thin out the unwanted hairs.If you tweeze or wax you are pulling the follicle out with the hair so it won't be there during the laser hair removal session. Buy a 4-5 blade razor that you use only for your face and shave in or after a shower in downward strokes. I hope you get the results you want!

Answer: Laser Hair Removal Thank you for your question in regards to laser hair removal. Shaving or trimming hairs between laser treatments is perfectly fine. Tweezing, waxing and using depilatory creams are not suggested because they remove the follicle which is important to sustain during treatments. To be sure what is best for you, see two or more board-certified providers in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have treatment. I hope this helps.

Answer: Shaving after laser hair removal It is fine to shave after LHR. In fact, you can do it the next day. I always tell patients to shave the day of the procedure to get the best results because the heat will penetrate deeper with the laser if shaved.
