How to remove hair on tattoo just before the laser treatment?

Question

I've got hair all over on my large tattoo on my leg, Consultant told me to remove hair before the session, but also told me not to use any cream before the session. Later I realize how do I remove it. So How do I remove my hair on tattoo on my leg? (it's like medium type of men hair, like chest hair on leg)

Thank you for your question about Tattoo Removal.You can shave your leg hairs with a normal razor prior to treatment. Although, if you do not want to run the risk of hair removal once your tattoo is removed, I would suggest waxing. Waxing will pull out the hair follicle and the laser will not hair the hair bulb due to it not being there. 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 with

I hope this helps.

Regular shaving cream with blade or clipper is fine .Then wash off and dry. No problem with laser tattoo removal.
