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.
Waxing removes hairs from the hair follicle. There needs to be a hair shaft in the follicle for laser treatment to be effective. 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.

The person who performed your treatment should have a medical Director or a physician who is knowledgeable about laser assisted hair removal who ultimately has responsibility for the patients treated at the clinic, I recommend being examined by the physician overseeing your treatments.
Best approach is to have the procedure done in a dermstologist's office. Results , & side effects depend on the machine type & the doctor's experience. Settings on the machine vary according to the skin color & hair color/thickness. A novice technician can definitely cause harm.
