The amount of sessions needed varies from person to person depending on age and area treated.
- Stop waxing, tweezing, or plucking hair you want to remove for two to six weeks before your appointment, though shaving is fine.
- Within 24 hours of your appointment, shave the area that’s being lasered.
- You should also avoid UV exposure during the month before your treatment, including that from tanning beds and self-tanning lotions.
- Be sure that the treatment area is fully washed and has no makeup, lotions or medications on.
- Notify us if you’ve been on any recent antibiotics or if there have been any changes with your medications. We do not treat anyone who has been on Accutane at present or the past 12 months.
