Tanning while getting laser treatments?

November 20, 2013
Asked By:Mich_Elle2323 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Im currently doing laser hair removal with the soprano xl, i consulted my laser Esthetician and she said i should be okay with the sopranos technology it isnt such a big deal anymore even if you do tan, because this machine could work on darker skin colors as well, as long as i am not tanning right before or after treatment, i would just like to know how true this is? Please help i have invested to much money into the hair removal to mess anything up.
