Every human is born with five million hair follicles, and it's from these structures that hair grows. For successful laser hair removal, the follicles need to be present. We recommend having at least 2 weeks of continuous hair growth when booking an appointment for a procedure.

Shaving is a different conversation with laser hair removal you can shave as much as you would like in between sessions, as lasers need to get as close as possible to your follicles in order to be able to destroy them completely.

It's best to check with your treatment facility for a complete list of hair care for laser hair removal, before and after.

It's important to note the bikini area is a sensitive region of the body. Extra care should be taken in this region, including shaving the day before your appointment.  It's also important to have a natural skin tone when you have your laser hair removal, so be sure not to tan for at least 14 days prior to your appointment. This is helpful to ensure consistent results for before and after laser hair removal.

To maintain consistency in your skin tone, sunscreen is essential if you spend a lot of time outside in sunlight. Make sure to use a high SPF sunscreen so you have effective and complete coverage.

Laser hair removal destroys hair follicles, but not all of your hairs will be equal in length at the time of removal. This means it's difficult for all of them to receive the same level of treatment. You should take special care to make sure that all hairs fall out naturally, rather than you removing them. While you might have a tendency to remove hair on your face before and after laser hair removal, it will not allow your treatment to work as well as it could.
