How to Prepare for Your First Laser Hair Removal Session

Laser hair removal is a long-term solution for smooth, hair-free skin. If you have scheduled your first appointment, congratulations, you are on your way to reaping the advantages of this incredible treatment!

At Medical Village in Dubai, we employ cutting-edge technology like GENTLE MAX PRO, SPLENDOR X, and CLARITY II to provide safe, precise, and tailored outcomes. Here’s how to prepare for your first laser hair removal treatment in order to get the best possible experience and results.

#1. Avoid Sun Exposure

Sun protection is extremely important in the weeks leading up to your session. Tanned or burnt skin is more sensitive, which increases the chance of adverse effects during treatment. To keep your skin healthy, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and avoid tanning beds.

#2. Avoid Hair Removal Methods That Remove The Roots

Waxing, plucking, and threading should be avoided for at least four weeks before your session. These treatments eliminate the laser's target, the hair root. Shaving, on the other hand, is recommended since it preserves the hair root and prevents surface burns during the session.

#3. Shave the Treatment Area

Shave the treatment area the night before the appointment. This guarantees that the laser light targets the hair follicle beneath the skin rather than the hair above it, increasing the treatment's efficacy. Avoid discomfort and ingrown hairs by shaving with a clean, sharp blade.

#4. Avoid Using Skincare Products on the Day of Your Session

On the day of your visit, avoid using lotions, oils, deodorants, or cosmetics on the treatment area. These products can reduce the laser's efficacy and create discomfort throughout the session. To get the greatest effects, make sure your skin is clean and free of products.

#5. Discuss Any Medications and Medical Conditions

Inform your expert of any medications or medical conditions you currently take or have during your consultation at Medical Village. Certain drugs, such as antibiotics or retinoids, might make your skin more sensitive to laser treatments. Our team, directed by Dr. Hamid Taghaddos, will guarantee that the therapy is safe and adapted to your specific requirements.

#6. Wear Comfortable Clothing

Choose loose, comfortable attire for your session, especially if you're treating bigger regions such as the legs or underarms. This will help to reduce friction and discomfort on the treated area following the treatment.

#7. Prepare for a Mild Sensation

Laser hair removal is typically painless, with most patients reporting a little snap or warmth on their skin. If you are concerned about discomfort, notify your expert. Numbing cream might be administered to improve your comfort throughout the session.
