Who doesn’t want buttery soft, hair-free skin without all the effort? By scheduling a laser hair removal (LHR) treatment, that dream can become a reality.

Here are the top four tips for getting the absolute best laser hair removal results in the DC area!

  • Consistency Is Key with Multiple LHR Sessions

You’ll require more than just one session in order to achieve your ideal results, and it’s important that you stick to the schedule that your laser technician provides you.

How Frequently Can I Get a Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

Typically, these sessions are spaced a month apart and dependent on the growth cycles of hair, which is the hair the laser targets at that time.

  • Don’t Ditch the Razor Just Yet

We know you’re ready to be done with shaving once and for all, which is completely understandable. Unfortunately, you can’t toss out that razor just yet.

Before each appointment, you’ll be asked to shave beforehand.

Why You Will Need to Shave Before Your LHR Session

This lessens the pain from the laser and allows it to target strictly the hair follicle.

  • Follow Your Doctor’s Aftercare Instructions Exactly

There are endless tips, tricks, and facts out there to get you prepped and ready for your laser hair removal. But, what about after? Your specialist will supply you guidelines and instructions after your treatment, such as staying out of the gym for 24 hours and ditching harsh products, like body scrubs.

  • Avoid Sun Exposure During Your LHR Treatments

Avoid UV exposure whenever possible before and after treatment. When you do have to be out in the sun, apply a high-quality sunscreen with SPF of 30 or higher.

This is just a good idea in general though, whether or not you’ve had LHR, as skin cancer is a real concern.
