Should I Wax the Bleached Hair Away Before I Started to Do Laser Hair Removel?

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.

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.
