When to Stop Shaving Before Laser Hair Removal?

 You will receive the best results when you show up to your appointment with a clean shave and non irritated skin. 

Ideally shave the day prior or morning of your laser hair procedure.  Not shaving prior to your procedure, will take more time for your procedure, may make your procedure hurt more, and if the office has to shave you incur a shave charge.

When having laser hair removal, it is best to shave one day prior to treatment. If you shave too soon, such as the morning of treatment, irritation may occur.

It is best to shave the day before or the day of your treatment. Use a fresh razor with shaving cream to avoid razor burn. Shaving during your appointment can lead to cuts and razor irritation due to a dry shave, and is not recommended.

It’s best to shave the
night before or the morning of your scheduled laser hair removal treatment.
This will allow the laser to target the pigment in the hair follicle to
effectively heat and destroy the follicle.
