When i went in for my consulatation today at a new facility I was told to NOT shave the area I'm getting lasered because the technician said she needed to see how my hair grows. Other technicians I've visited have said that I needed to shave 24 hrs before the treatment if not the laser would burn the hair and not be able to reach the follicle. I am 21 and have light brown skin , I think I have had level 6 used on me with the YAG during my first laser appt. At another facility.
