Thank you for your question. I recommend having a follow up with your treating physician for an evaluation and treatment. However, you can treat this bacitracin ointment and it may take 1-2 weeks to heal. I hope this helps.

Thank you for your question. It is not recommended to wax or tweeze 3 weeks before laser hair removal treatment. This is because this removes the hair roots that is targeted by the laser. It is only recommended to shave before and between treatments. Best of Luck!

Thank you for your question. Yes, it is safe to have full body laser hair removal treatment in one session. There has been no evidence that LHR has any side effects on the heart. However, you should always disclose any health issues with your treating physician. Best of Luck!
