So you’ve scheduled your laser hair removal appointment, and you couldn’t be more excited. Finally, a long-term solution to the annoying, and at times, losing battle of getting rid of unwanted hair with traditional shaving or waxing. But as you share the news with all your friends, one of them tells you not to forget to shave before your appointment. Wait! What?
While it might seem counterintuitive to shave before laser hair removal, your friend is right. Shaving ahead of time is absolutely necessary for a variety of reasons.
Thankfully, your friends at Live Young Wellness Spa in Flower Mound and Castle Hills are here to demystify the process.
Why shave before laser hair removal?
The answer is pretty simple when you think about it. When you shave before laser hair removal, you create a more efficient treatment process. All the excess unwanted hair has already been removed above the surface, which allows our laser technicians to quickly and efficiently target and treat the hair follicles below the surface of the skin to ensure long-term results.
Additional benefits include:
- Preventing pain and skin damage during treatment
- Improved health and safety
- More precise treatments
Dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons agree that you should shave roughly 24 hours before your laser hair removal treatment to ensure the best results. If you were to shave right before you show up to our office or that morning, your skin may be too fragile and can be damaged during treatment.
Consider using a gentle shaving foam for your last shave, and under no circumstances should you consider waxing. If you must wax, make sure you do so at least four weeks before your laser hair removal appointment.
We are excited to offer the best in-house professionals and products for laser hair removal treatments in Frisco, Plano, Carrollton, The Colony, and Lewisville. You simply can’t go wrong with us in your corner.
