- Please schedule a Consultation: Before your first treatment, schedule a consultation with our professional. They will assess your skin and hair type, discuss your medical history, and determine if you’re a good candidate for laser hair removal. A test patch will be taken to ensure that it suits your skin.
- WE AT SILKE AESTHETICS PROVIDE FREE CONSULTATION AND TEST PATCH.
2. Avoid Sun Exposure
- Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before your treatment.
- Use Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) if you need to be outside.
3. Shave the Area
- Shave the Treatment Area: Shave the area to be treated 24 hours before your appointment. This helps the laser target the hair follicles more effectively. Do not wax, pluck, or bleach the hair, as the laser needs the hair follicle intact to work.
4. Avoid Certain Skin Products
- Skip Certain Skin Products: Avoid using products that can irritate your skin, such as retinoids, exfoliants, or products with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) a few days before your appointment. These products can make your skin more sensitive to the laser.
5. Avoid Using Hair Removal Methods That Dislodge the Hair Root
- No Waxing or Tweezing: Do not wax, tweeze, or use depilatory creams for 4-6 weeks before your treatment. These methods remove the hair from the root, which the laser targets.
6. Stay Away from Certain Medications
- Consult with Your Professional: Some medications, especially those that increase sensitivity to light (like certain antibiotics), may need to be paused before treatment. Talk to your practitioner to ensure your medications won’t interfere with the procedure.
7. Wear Comfortable Clothing
- Loose Clothing: Wear loose-fitting clothes that give easy access to the area being treated. This will help you feel more comfortable after the session, especially if there’s any redness.
8. Hydrate and Rest
- Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before your session to help your body stay hydrated. This will also help your skin respond better to the treatment.
- Rest: Ensure you're well-rested before the appointment so your body is in its best state.
9. Know What to Expect
- Multiple Sessions: Laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions (usually 4-6) spaced about 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results
- We at Silke Aesthetics make sure that you
