Before you arrive
Getting ready for laser hair removal is easy, but a few steps make a big difference to your comfort and results.
Do
- Shave the area 12–24 hours before your appointment (the laser targets the root beneath the skin, not the surface hair).
- Keep the skin clean and product-free on the day.
- Stay out of the sun and avoid fake tan for two weeks beforehand.
Avoid
- Waxing, plucking or epilating for four weeks before — these remove the root the laser needs to target.
- Sunbeds, strong exfoliants and retinol in the days before.
At your appointment
Your specialist will cleanse the area, apply the laser with its cooling system, and talk you through aftercare. Sessions can be as short as 10–15 minutes for smaller areas.
Afterwards
Mild redness is normal and settles quickly. Apply the soothing Concept+ aftercare we recommend, wear SPF, and avoid heat (saunas, hot showers) for 24–48 hours.
