Congratulations on beginning or continuing your laser hair removal journey with Vita Beauty Bar! We know laser hair removal can be life-changing, and we're grateful to share this experience with you. To help you get the most out of your treatments, we've created this comprehensive laser guide.
Before Your Appointment
- Day Of Appointment: Clean shave the treatment area. Avoid perfume, lotion, self-tan, or deodorant on the treatment area.
- Avoid Intensive Sun Exposure: Avoid deep tanning 3-4 weeks before your appointment. If you have a noticeable tan line, wait 3-4 weeks after the last sun exposure. Passive sun exposure not resulting in a tan is generally safe.
- Hair Removal Methods: Avoid bleaching, tweezing, waxing, using depilatory creams, or epilating hair 4 weeks before treatment. Shaving should be the only hair removal method before your appointment.
- Cosmetic Treatments: Botox or dermal fillers can be done immediately after laser treatment. Wait 2 weeks after treatments like chemical peels before lasering the treated area.
- Self-Tanning Products: Discontinue use 7-10 days before treatment and remove any residual product.
- Shaving: Fully shave the treatment area within 24 hours before your appointment.
- Skin Tones and Hair Types: Our GentleMax Pro laser can safely treat all skin tones. Laser hair removal does not work on white, grey, some blonde, and red hair types. Contact us for a complimentary test patch if unsure.
- Medications and Health Conditions: Consider antiviral therapy if you have a history of herpes simplex virus. Avoid laser treatments while pregnant; they are safe while breastfeeding but may affect results.
- Tattoos: We cannot laser over tattoos but can work around them.
- Medications: Consult your physician or pharmacist to ensure laser treatments are safe with your current medications, particularly photosensitizing drugs.
Post-Treatment Care
- Immediate Reactions: Redness and small bumps around the hair follicles are normal. Use a cool compress, cortisone, aloe, or an allergy pill for relief.
- Hair Shedding: Shedding may occur 5-14 days post-treatment. Gentle exfoliation can help with hair sloughing out.
- Sun Exposure: Resume sun activities 3-5 days after treatment using mineral-based sunscreen.
- Products and Makeup: Apply makeup, lotions, or deodorant if there is no noticeable inflammation. Avoid perfume or alcohol-based products on treated areas.
- Bathing: No restrictions on bathing, but treat the skin gently for the first 24 hours.
- Rebooking and Maintenance: Rebook every 4-6 weeks initially, then extend time between treatments as hair growth decreases. Annual maintenance may be required.
