When can I have my next Laser Hair Removal treatment after sun exposure on holiday (time length)? - thanks!

Asked By:Anonymous..... in London, GB

I got back from holiday and was very hot but because of ongoing treatments, did not tan myself and kept consistent with sun cream. I'm back but when can I have next treatment. It's on my face so there was some sun exposure, but how long must I wait. (I'm also not visibly tanned on the treatment area. The laser centre said I must wait 2weeks for testpatch and then a month, and it seems a while to wait and this would ruin the treatment cycle too and I'd pluck while I wait making cycle worse off.

Pablo Prichard, MD says:

Thank you for your question. I have not heard of laser hair contributing to body Oder. Try using a clinical strength antiperspirant to see if that helps with the smell. Best Wishes,Pablo Prichard

Sheryl D. Clark, MD, FAAD says:

This is a bit of an unusual complaint. You might try a little gentle tape-stripping: try medical adhesive tape as it may be more effective without hurting your skin. If that doesn't work, i think waxing should do the trick.This may have happened because your hairs are more coarse and curly, so...
