What is the recommend time frame to get a facial around getting laser hair removal?

Asked By:angel807 in West Orange, NJ

For example, I want to get a facial one day before laser hair removal (only my lip). Is this recommended? If i wanted to get the facial with extractions afterwards, how long should I wait?
