Thank you for your question.It is not advised to wax during laser hair removal treatments because it removes the follicle which needs to be present when being treated. If you are not consistent with your treatments, it will take longer to achieve your desired results. Different areas of the body have different time periods for growing and dormant stages, so waxing can disrupt this process. 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.

The rate of growth of hair varies from one part of the body to another. The time between waxing and laser treatment will vary somewhat depending on the area of the body treated. I would ask the physician supervising your treatments when they would prefer for you to stop waxing.

Laser hair removal is most effective when administered in a series of six to eight treatments. This is because hair can only be targeted during its growth phase, and the timing is different for each follicle. During treatment, laser energy targets the hair follicle beneath the skin’s surface t...
Hi Celine. Any hair you have left in the follicle after laser hair removal will fall out on it's own over a couple months after the procedure. If the hair does not come out, that means the laser hair removal is not having the desired effect (permanent hair removal). For...
