Should I Wax the Bleached Hair Away Before I Started to Do Laser Hair Removel?
Answer: No Waxing Before Laser Hair Removal
The laser basically needs a dark colored target to do its job. This is why It is much better to shave the bleached hairs. The remaining hair shafts which are darker in color will actually absorb the laser light. This is how the laser energy is able to enter the follicles which are then attacked by your immune system. The follicles then enter a resting phase.

Answer: Waxing while getting laser hair removal can increase the number of treatments needed Waxing pulls hair out at the root. This modifies that hair's growth/rest cycle. Hair follicles are sensitive to the laser when they are actively growing hair and the follicles are all in different phases of growth. This is why multiple treatments are necessary; each treatment catches the next group of active follicles. If you tweeze or wax, you artificially put the follicles to rest, making it insensitive to the laser. Let the bleached hair grow out and shave for hair control during the period of your laser treatment.

Answer: Waxing and Laser Hair Removal Laser hair removal targets the pigmentation in the hair follicle. The darker the hair, the better the laser will work. If the root of the hair is I do not recommend waxing before your laser hair removal treatment because waxing will remove the deeper portion of the hair follicle and there will be no pigmentation for the laser to target. I recommend shaving before your laser hair appointment.

Answer: Waxing should not be done before laser hair removal
Bleaching usually affects the surface portion of the hair, so there is usually some pigmentation left in the hair follicle. This pigmentation should be enough for the laser to affect those hairs.
However, if you wax, all those hairs would be gone, and there will be no target for the laser to reach. The only hair removal method allowed before or during the laser hair removal sessions is shaving. Otherwise the results will be significantly less than what is expected.

Answer: Laser Hair Remova The laser can only "see" brown or black hairs and the hair must be present in the follicle for the treatment to be successful. This is why we ask patients not to pluck or wax for three to four weeks prior to treatment. Since this is your first appointment, I would not shave the night before. The doctor needs to see where the hairs grow and how much of an area needs to be treated to give you an accurate price quote. They wil also want to take a "before" pictures They will then have you shave in the office prior to the treatment. In the future, they may ask you to shave at home just prior to treatment, but check with them. In order to gauge results of treatment, they will need to see you at least some of the time without being recently shaved.
