Can I use a little electric shaver (specifically for your face) a day before lip and chin laser hair removal?

Yes, you can use an electric shaver the day before.  At Monroe Comprehensive Laser Center in Monroe, Mi, we recommend that the pt refrain from any plucking, electrolysis or waxing for several weeks before their treatments.  These procedures remove hair at the root and leave nothing for the laser to "see " during treatment.  However, shaving with an electric shavor would break off the hair at the skin surface and leave pigment behind for the laser to target.  It is best to shave before your procedure at what interval would leave you with a minute amount of stubble at the skin surface.  This will give you the best results.  Good luck!

Yes you can shave the day before Laser hair removal. It is a good idea to shave before a procedure, so the laser can pick up the pigment in the hair follicle, and not in the hair shaft.
