Can you use joboba oil, or any other hair promoting products while doing laser hair removal?

felixquachDec 7, 2018
Hello, I am a 19 year old male who’s on their 6th session of laser hair removal on the neck and overall face area. I was curious if I was allowed to use joboba oil as a facial oil even though I am doing laser hair treatments?
