How to Prepare for Your First Laser Hair Removal Session

Unwanted body hair can be such a nuisance, but thanks to modern technology, we have sustainable solutions like laser hair removal. As you prepare for your first session at GLO Laser Aesthetics, let us walk you through this transformative process.

Introduction to Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a medical-grade procedure aiming to permanently reduce hair growth. It works by emitting a laser that provides heat to hair follicles, halting their ability to produce hair. Sessions can last from 20 minutes to an hour, depending upon the area treated.

Pre-Session Prep

The first step to successful laser hair removal is your pre-session preparation. We recommend shaving the area 24-48 hours before your appointment to minimize discomfort, we need a clean shave, so if you find your hair grows is quick then shave the day of your appointment. Refrain from waxing, epilating, or plucking as it removes hair from the root, making the laser treatment less effective.

Skin & Laser Consultation

Before your treatment, you’ll meet with one of our certified laser technicians to discuss your skin type, hair type, and any concerns you may have. This consultation ensures that you receive a personalized treatment and the best possible results.

Expectations During The Treatment

Although laser hair removal is relatively painless, some people might experience a slight stinging sensation, often compared to the snap of a rubber band on the skin. Don’t worry - our friendly team is here to put you at ease, ensuring you're comfortable throughout your appointment.

Post-Treatment Care

Post-treatment care is just as critical as pre-session preparation. You may experience some redness or slight swelling - this is completely normal and should subside within a few hours. Following the procedure, aim to keep your skin moisturized, and avoid sun exposure to prevent pigment changes.

Multiple Sessions for Optimum results

Laser hair removal is not a one-time solution - it often requires several sessions every 6 to 8 weeks apart to ensure optimal and permanent results. Depending on your hair and skin type, our experts will recommend the necessary amount of sessions for best outcomes.
