You have to shave the day before your appointment. Brazilian Bikini treatments only need to shave the areas clients would like the hair removed. Do not tan two weeks before or two weeks after treatment. Please inform us if you are pregnant, taken any new medications or have any changes in your medical history.

Treatments will be scheduled according to your hair growth cycle. The root of the hair can only be destroyed in the Anagen phase of hair growth. Approximately 20% of your hair is in the Anagen phase at any given time. Most of the body takes 4-6 weeks to start a new Anagen phase. On legs it takes 6-8 weeks and 8-10 weeks on the back. So, depending on what area the client is treating depends on the amount of time between treatments. It will take at least 6 treatments to complete the laser hair removal process.

In most cases there are no side effects to laser hair removal. In rare cases clients may experience burns (similar to a burn from a curling iron), redness, and crusting. Cases where we have seen burns it was because the client had tanned within two weeks before treatment.

Apply cool compresses

Wet a clean, soft washcloth with cool water and place it on the treated area for several minutes at a time. You can also use an ice pack wrapped in a paper towel. This method helps to reduce temporary swelling and pain after your laser hair removal treatment.

Protect your skin from the sun

Since your skin will be sensitive after laser hair removal, your physician will recommend that you avoid getting direct sun exposure. You should avoid the sun for 1 month before the procedure to 1 month afterward. After this time, apply sunscreen to the area of treatment every day.

Can I shave after laser hair removal?

You can also shave after laser hair removal, be sure to wait for several hours after skin redness or discoloration has subsided.
