How to Prep for Laser Hair Removal
Shave, skip the sun, and come as you are.
Preparation is simple, but it matters.
Shave 12–24 hours before
The hair should be short, with the root intact.
No root removal
No waxing, plucking, threading or epilating in the weeks before.
Protect from the sun
Avoid tanning and self-tanner, and tell us about any recent sun exposure.
Be open
Let us know about medications or conditions that could affect your skin's sensitivity to light.
