Introduction

• Laser hair removal is a procedure that removes
  and reduces the growth of unwanted hair
• The light, when targeted on specific areas, is
  absorbed by melanin the pigment that gives hair
  and skin their color
• The absorbed light damages the hair follicles
• The damaged follicles are then incapable of
  producing new hair
• Laser hair removal takes multiple sessions to
  show noticeable results.since all hair is not in
  the same stage of hair cycle.

Review Medical History

• Just like every other medical treatment, your
  doctor will ask you for an overview of your
  medical history
• You may have certain conditions that the laser
  can interfere with
• The doctor may even assess the health of your
  skin, look into previous conditions or
  dermatological procedures that you may have
  undergone

5
Discuss Risks

• A session with your doctor can enlighten you on
  the risks associated with undergoing laser
  therapy for hair removal
• It is essential that you have real expectations
  from your LHR session
• Skin irritation and changes in pigmentation can
  occur as side effects to LHR
• Get a clear picture of the benefits, side effects
  and estimated sessions to get your desirable
  results.

6
Stop Plucking or Waxing

• Laser hair removal targets the follicles of the
  hair
• For an effective treatment, hair must be present
  in the follicles to absorb the heat targeted by
  the laser
• Removing the hair from the follicle will leave no
  means for heat to be absorbed, therefore leaving
  no scope for heat transfer
• So avoid plucking, epilating or threading to have
  an effective session

7
Avoid Sun Exposure

• Before the scheduled date of your appointment and
  during the sessions , you must avoid sun exposure
• Sun damage can cause your skin to get sensitive
  and you may experience adverse effects when it
  gets exposed to lasers
• Skin experts do not recommend getting laser
  therapy with the slightest of sunburns.

8
Clean the Area Thoroughly

• The area of laser treatment should be thoroughly
  cleaned prior to the appointment
• Your skin should not have any amount of makeup,
  moisturiser, lotion or ointment
• The ingredients in those products can react with
  the laser.

9
Prep the Area by Shaving

• The only methods of hair removal allowed before
  you go in for lasers is shaving its best to let
  the doctor see the growth to analyse the hair and
  the energy required
• In between sessions if there is a requirement to
  remove hair , its best to shave it
• Since it does not interfere with laser therapy
  since the root of the hair is still present
  underneath the skin.

  keep the area clean and dry

  way to keep further redness at bay

Cleanse the Area

• It is essential to clean the area of treatment
  with plain soap and water
• Avoid scraping or rubbing the area of treatment
  for at least 4-5 days of getting the procedure
  done
• Gently pat and dry the skin to minimise abrasion
  on skin.

13
Refrain From Other Hair Removal Methods

• To achieve the best results without any
  complications, refrain from hair removal methods
  like plucking, waxing or tweezing even after the
  procedure
• Shaving is allowed in the course of time between
  multiple sessions. However, do not resort to
  shaving immediately after a session.

Use Cold Compress for Red Bumps or Rashes

• Laser hair removal (LHR) works best on people who
  have lighter skin tone and thicker hair growth
• Laser hair removal may leave a few red bumps, or
  may even result in redness, irritation and
  blisters. Place a clean, cool and damp cloth on
  such areas to cool them down
• This will also provide your skin some much-needed
  respite
