When to shave before a laser hair removal session?

May 23, 2015
Asked By:Preciosa105 in Colombia, CO

Hello all, I will have my first laser hair removal in a week...I wonder if the laser will detect my hair follicles if I go clean shaved with no visible hair on the surface of the skin or if "black dots" need to be visible. Thanks for your advice.
