I am sure that my consultation will provide me with this information, but I wanted to know before going in…
What is the recommended length of hair for laser hair removal? Before treatment, should the hair be shaved, trimmed, fully grown? If trimmed, what length?
Thanks!
You’d be surprised how little some clinics actually tell their customers.
Either way, the hair should be shaved. We recommend doing this 1-2 days before your treatment so that there is a bit of stubble and easy to see where to treat.
All this is explained in the FAQs as well at the link below. You should read them before your consultation. You should also consider only clinics with the right type of laser for your skin type (and I wouldn’t rely on the clinic to be honest about whether their machine is truly best for you).
Wow, I completely missed that in the FAQ when I skimmed it. Thanks! I guess this calls for a more thorough read.
I am a type III skin type, so I am looking into the GentleLASE.
One more quick question about this…
If I have been using an epilator, for how long do I need to stop until the hair is okay for laser treatment?
Thanks!
about 8 weeks.
Thanks, LAgirl!
