Laser Hair Removal Preparation and Aftercare
A little preparation helps you arrive informed and ready. These instructions apply to Laser Me’s GentleMax Pro laser hair removal. Follow any additional instructions your provider gives you for your skin and treatment area.
Before your appointment
- Avoid sun exposure and tanning products for 14–21 days before treatment. Tell us about recent tanning or sunburn before coming in; your provider may recommend postponing treatment.
- Avoid waxing, plucking, and threading before and between treatments as directed. These methods remove the hair from its root.
- Shave the night before or the day of your appointment.
- Tell us about medications, supplements, recent treatments, and changes to your health or skin. Do not stop prescribed medication without your prescriber’s guidance.
- Let us know if you are pregnant or become pregnant during your series.
On the day
Arrive with the treatment area clean and free of makeup, lotions, fragrance, or deodorant. Your provider will review your skin, preparation, and any changes since your last visit. You’ll wear protective eyewear during treatment.
After your visit
Temporary redness, swelling, or sensitivity can occur. Keep the treated skin protected from the sun and follow your provider’s sun-protection instructions. Use gentle skin care and follow the guidance you receive about exfoliating products, retinoids, heat, exercise, and when to resume your routine. Avoid waxing or plucking during your series.
Contact our team if you have an unexpected reaction or a recovery question. Your individual instructions take priority over general website guidance.
Keep your plan consistent
Our standard plan includes eight sessions, typically spaced five to eight weeks apart. Our target is 80%+ reduction in the first six sessions, followed by two sessions to refine remaining growth. The ultimate goal is permanent hair reduction, with maintenance as needed. Individual results vary.
Let’s build your plan.
