Everything you need to know before you go for a Laser Hair Removal

Look, we all can be lazy. Getting up early in the morning just to shave because it’s been a few days and your legs look like a forest. Shaving is more of an annoyance than anything. That uncomfortable prickling when you haven’t shaved and are wearing jeans? That 5 o’clock shadow under your arms? Don’t lie, YOU KNOW THOSE FEELS.

If you’re looking for a more permanent and painless solution for unwanted hair, laser hair removal could be the best service for you.

But here are a few things you need to know before if you for a laser hair removal treatment:

1. Stay out of the sun before your appointment.
At least four weeks before, to be precise. You shouldn’t receive this treatment if you’re sunburned — or even if you have a tan. A lot of people start treatments in the fall or winter in order to have stubble-free skin. You might need to avoid sunbathing and sun exposure as much as possible before and after treatment.

2. You must shave the area you’re getting lasered.
Don’t proceed with your hairy self. This isn’t like waxing, and you don’t need to grow your unwanted hair out already. Similarly, you can’t come in for laser hair removal if you’ve had a wax recently. Remember, the laser targets the pigment of your hair follicle, and the follicle actually has to be there in for this to work. The best thing you can do is shave a day prior to your appointment. If you don’t, your physician will most likely provide you with a razor so you can get it done!

3. You can’t go to the gym sometime.
The heat from the laser stays in your skin for 24 hours hence avoid gym, saunas, and hot showers. If you do, you multiply the risk of creating a lovely warm environment for bacteria to multiply and give you spots.

4. Laser hair removal has several benefits.
Besides smoother, draw skin and permanent hair reduction, laser hair removal’s benefits include helping to reduce ingrowing hairs and less irritation of the skin. This is because the treatment helps the hair to grow straight.

5. It works on all skin tones, types and hair
The hair just needs to be dark enough to draw from the laser. Skin use long-pulsed NDYAG lasers – which are safer for treating pigmented or darker skin tones. We at Cozmaa use the best in class technology for laser hair removal which has triple wavelength diode technology, for all skin types and all hair types.

6. Laser hair removal doesn’t automatically make you silky smooth after your first treatment.
It takes between five to six sessions (depending on the area you have decided) of laser hair removal in order to see phenomenal results. If someone tells you that you can, RUN AWAY FAST. There’s only a certain amount of cosmetic laser light and heat that your body can safely absorb each session. If you want to see the best results, you have to be consistent.

7. Put up that sunscreen every time.
Listen, sunscreen should be your best friend in general, but long-pulsed use it after your treatment. Your skin will be sensitive — even if it doesn’t
feel like it — and you need to protect it as much as possible.

8. Avoid perfumes, deodorants, and hot showers.
Just for 24 to 48 hours after treatment, and take lukewarm or normal showers for the first week. After that, you’re good to go!

9. Is laser hair removal actually SAFE?
Laser hair is a safe and effective treatment when performed by a board-certified dermatologist. It gives permanent hair reduction and is safe, fast, and very effective.
