Shave the areas intended for laser hair removal in order to have successful hair removal, your hair’s root must be present under the skin. We advise against any attempt to remove the hair prior to laser treatment. You should avoid direct contact with the sun for long periods of time. You should avoid as much sun exposure as possible for 4 to 6 weeks after laser treatment. Social events should not be scheduled immediately after your laser treatment, and areas covered by the laser treatment should not have any coverup creams or similar products applied to them. Doing so will run the risk of blisters or changes in pigment. Do not tan and make sure to protect your skin with sunscreen.

If not treated they could lead to discoloration of the skin or even worse, scaring. Ingrown hairs can also occur with waxing. With GentleLase you can have smooth skin.
