Everything You Need to Know Before and After Your Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is becoming increasingly popular for delivering long-lasting results and smooth skin without the hassles of traditional methods. If you’re thinking about starting laser hair removal or have already booked your session, this complete guide will help you prepare your skin, understand essential aftercare, and get the most out of your treatment.

At Skin From Brazil, we are proud to be pioneers in Georgia offering the cutting-edge Splendor X by Lumenis, one of the most advanced technologies on the market that combines power and comfort for fast, effective results.

Why Is It Important to Prepare Your Skin Before Laser Hair Removal?

Proper skin preparation before any session is crucial to ensure the treatment is safe and that your body responds well to the laser. Preparing your skin also helps prevent side effects such as irritation, pigmentation changes, and ingrown hairs.

How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal Session: Step-by-Step

2 weeks before your session:

❌ Avoid sun exposure and tanning (both natural and artificial) to prevent burns and pigmentation.

❌ Stop using hair removal methods that pull hair out by the root, such as waxing, tweezing, or threading.

❌ Do not use self-tanning products.

✅ Apply sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily on the areas to be treated to protect and prep your skin.

7 days before your session:

✅ Shave the treatment area, preferably 24 hours before your appointment.

❌ Avoid applying deodorants, perfumes, makeup, or creams on the area.

✅ If your skin isn’t sensitive, you may gently exfoliate to remove dead skin cells.

On the day of your session:

✅ Come with clean skin, free of any products.

✅ Wear comfortable clothes that allow easy access to the treatment area.

❌ Do not apply anesthetic creams or take medications without professional advice.

Post-Laser Hair Removal Care: How to Keep Your Skin Healthy

After your session, your skin may be more sensitive and show some common effects, which are normal but require careful attention for smooth recovery.

What to Do in the First 48 Hours

✅ Use cold compresses to reduce redness and mild swelling.

✅ Apply a thin layer of recommended moisturizer like Aquaphor.

❌ Avoid makeup, deodorants, and perfumed products on the treated area.

❌ Do not scratch, rub, or exfoliate the skin.

Care From 5 to 7 Days After Treatment

❌ Avoid sun exposure, excessive heat, gym activities, saunas, pools, and tight clothing that can irritate your skin.

✅ Continue using sunscreen with SPF 30+ daily, even indoors.

❌ Do not pull out any hairs that start to shed naturally — they will fall out on their own for best results.

Recovery Between 1 and 3 Weeks

You may notice hairs falling out naturally — this is a good sign the laser is working effectively.

✅ After the first 5 to 7 days, if your skin feels good, you can gently exfoliate to help remove shedding hairs.

Important Reminder

Avoid products containing acids, retinoids, or treatments like chemical peels and microneedling at least two weeks before and after your laser session.

If you notice blisters, persistent redness, itching, or any signs of infection, please contact our team immediately for expert guidance.
