First laser hair removal

Laser hair removal, carried out in salons, is one of the most effective today. However, in order to get the desired result and consolidate it, you need to properly prepare for the procedure. We will tell you how to do this today.

How to prepare for your first laser hair removal procedure

Laser hair removal has its own indications, for example, if you have:

• too sensitive skin;
• mostly dark hair appears;
• there is a tendency to ingrown hairs.

Preparation for the procedure should begin in advance, at least 14 days before hair removal. Experts recommend adhering to the following rules two weeks before the session:

• It is prohibited to visit solariums or sunbathe;
• the use of tanning products is also contraindicated;
• It is not recommended to use tetracycline medications;
• You cannot lighten hairs that you plan to remove;
• When caring for your skin, do not use chemical peels;
• three days before the session, do not use skin care products containing alcohol;
• a few days before the main session, carry out a trial procedure to determine the skin reaction from exposure to the laser;
• immediately before epilation, remove hair with a razor, but do not use any epilator creams, sugaring or wax;
• do not visit swimming pools or saunas during the day before the procedure;
• Before visiting a specialist, cleanse your skin of cosmetics and other creams.

Effect after the first laser hair removal

Laser hair removal has many benefits. After several sessions, hair growth stops. The beam directed at the hair follicle destroys it, as a result of which it slows down and subsequently stops hair growth altogether.

The described hair removal method is the safest and most painless among other salon procedures. In addition to hair removal in the treated area, the laser helps solve many other problems:

• removes age spots;
• removes stars;
• creates a rejuvenating effect for the skin.

To obtain the desired result, several procedures are necessary. Experts explain this by saying that the beam affects only those hairs that are currently actively growing. After completing a course of about 9 procedures, you will be able to talk about unwanted vegetation forget forever.

After the first procedure, some girls notice increased hair growth. This is explained by the fact that the laser, in addition to removing actively growing hair, activates the work of dormant hair follicles. During subsequent sessions, newly grown hairs are easily removed.

Skin after first epilation

After the procedure, you may notice redness on the skin, which can last up to two days. Experts advise using sprays that have an anti-inflammatory effect after hair removal.

In the first days after the session, the skin pushes the hairs out. This continues for 7-14 days. Subsequently, this stops and the hair falls out on its own. To avoid complications, you must follow some recommendations:

• Do not use various cosmetics in the first days after hair removal: foundation, deodorants;
• do not visit the sauna or bathhouse for several weeks after the procedure;
• Do not use tanning products between procedures;
• Do not use other types of hair removal between sessions.
