Avoid the use of tanning products, such as sun tanners 

Laser hair removal is most effective when applied on light colored skin, for this reason, experts suggest that you avoid exposing your skin to extreme sunlight, 3-4 weeks before a laser hair removal. In addition, you must avoid the application of tanning products to the skin area you want to treat for laser hair removal few weeks prior. 

Avoid plucking, bleaching or waxing the skin area before laser hair treatment

To enjoy the full benefits of laser hair treatment, the roots of the hair must remain during treatment, therefore you need to avoid waxing or plucking the hair some 2-4 weeks before treatment, similarly you must avoid bleaching to ensure the pigment in the area remains.

You can shave the treatment area

If you are extraordinarily hair, you may shave the skin area to be treated few days to the laser treatment, to ensure some minor hair regrowth that will make the laser hair removal very effective. 

Avoid lotions, cosmetics, and creams on the treatment area before laser hair treatment

It is safer and much better to appear at the treatment center with a clean skin, free of cosmetic products that can reduce the effectiveness of the laser hair treatment. 

Appear at the laser hair treatment center in loose-fitted and comfortable clothing

If possible, you should consider a clothing that will leave the area to be treated, exposed, but if that is not an option, make sure you wear a loose-clothing that can easily be pushed aside. Doing this will ensure that you remain comfortable during and after the laser hair treatment.  Wearing tight clothing can cause irritation to the tight skin. The physician will recommend the suitable soothing cream that can be applied to the treated area to make it comfortable to wear your cloth after the treatment. 

One of the goals and priorities of Harley Institute is to ensure the safest and the most effective treatments such as Laser hair removal therapy. This is the only way to guaranty maximum result, unfortunately, these objectives are achievable when strict guidelines and instructions are followed before, during and after treatments. The laser hair treatment is a cost-effective alternative to other methods of hair removal, it provides permanent results and it is not as painful as waxing and some other invasive methods such as plucking. Laser hair treatments should heal within few minutes or hours depending on how many treatments you undergo.
