Pretreatment

If you plan on having a treatment on the same day as your free initial consultation, here's a list of things you will want to do or not do.

• Try to avoid the sun for 4-6 weeks before your treatment, or use a good sunblock on the area you will be having lasered. If you have gotten tan on the area, please notify your laser technician, and we will use our yag wavelength laser, which safely treats tanned skin.
• Sunless tanning products should also be avoided.
• Don't pluck or wax the area for about 3 weeks before coming in for a laser treatment. The laser will only target hairs that are in the follicle.
• Give the treatment area a good, close shave the day before or the day of. If you are planning on having your back lasered and can't shave it yourself, we'll shave it for you for an extra charge of $35. Just let us know while making your appointment, and we'll schedule extra time for the shave.
• Please don't apply any sort of products to the area. This includes lotion, deodorant, makeup and perfume. This especially applies to deodorants because the aluminum in deodorants may prevent an effective treatment. We will provide deodorant for you if you need it after your treatment.
