Hair removal treatment tips and advice should be followed and provided by a professional clinic or salon. When unwanted hair is removed by laser or a light pulse device, the skin needs to be prepared before and after the technique is performed. Topical antibacterial creams, however, are not necessary in most cases and may even cause further drying of the skin if used on the treated area.

A session can be more comfortable for a patient if the dermatologist uses cold packs to help skin return to normal or lessen the pain in between laser procedures. Some doctors can also offer tips for daily moisturizing of the skin on which laser treatments will be done. A good moisturizing regimen can ensure that the skin will be healthy and supple during hair removal treatments.

Hair Removal Treatment Tips: Know What Can Effect the Skin’s Sensitivity

Patients should take steps to prepare for a laser treatment. To avoid unwanted complications during a hair removal treatment, it is wise to avoid certain medications or supplements that might make the skin more sensitive to light, such as tetracycline or St. John’s Wort. Many clinics also recommend that a patient stop the use of skincare products including Retin-A or other glycolic or alpha-hydroxy acid treatments for one week prior to treatment. These creams can cause the skin to be more sensitive than normal to the laser's light.

Patients who do their homework and carefully select a laser hair removal professional can experience safer, more effective results. Find a wide range of options at NuU Medspa for skin care and learn hair removal treatment tips.
