Same-Day Laser Hair Removal Consultation in DC

Laser hair removal (LHR) is an incredibly convenient way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin.

But if you’re planning for a same-day laser hair removal consultation in DC, you’ll want to be prepared.

That way, if you’re a good candidate, you can jump straight into your first session without delay!

Taking the following steps, as preparing helps you be on your way to silky smooth skin swiftly.

Shave the treatment area. A day before your consultation, make sure to shave the area where you plan to have laser hair removal. Avoid hair reduction methods that remove hair follicles, such as shaving and waxing, as the laser needs follicles intact for it to work.
Avoid sun exposure. Stay out of the sun as much as possible for two weeks before your appointment. It can increase the risk of side effects, so if you’ve recently been in the sun, you may need to wait.
Skip tanning products. Like sun exposure, tanning creams or sprays can interfere with laser treatments. Make sure your skin is as natural as possible for your consultation.
Take note of your medications. Some medicines can increase skin sensitivity. Be sure to let your provider know about anything you’re taking to avoid complications, even supplements.
Ask about skincare. If you use skincare products with ingredients like retinol or glycolic acid, stop using them a few days before your appointment. These ingredients can increase sensitivity in the treated area.
