The medications listed should not prevent you from successful hair removal using IPL or diode machines. Certain antibiotics, medications (accutane, etal.) and certain medical conditions can sensitize your skin to light energy and will increase the chance of skin damage. Be sure to discuss all your medications, medical conditions and skin history with the provider before starting hair removal therapies.
Hi, thank you for your question, No, unfortunately you would have to discontinue the use of your whitening cream for at minimum 2 weeks prior to your laser hair removal treatment .
Vellus Hair Removal is sometimes reduced by several IPL ( intense pulsed light) , but still not permanent. The best treatment for Vellus hair is electrolysis. Electrolysis is permanent hair removal.. I hope this helps
You should check with your provider, however it should be fine to continue your topical retinoid between treatments. At my practice we advise our patients to avoid active products over the treated area 1 week pre- and post-procedurally.
You can do it the same day if you want, there is no downtime to have to wait. Laser hair removal doesnt affect liposuction or vice versa. my clients do treatments while they are healing. Best, Dr. Emer.
Taking zinc and magnesium does not guarantee hair growth but correcting deficiencies in them can help improve hair growth. This should not get in the way of laser hair removal
Hello! Thank you for your question. We do recommend shaving 24 hours prior to your treatment, however we will do for you if need be.
