Getting Ready For Your Austin Laser Hair Removal Appointment

The decision to get laser hair removal is an important one because unwanted hair

on your body or face affects more than your appearance; it affects your confidence and self-esteem. Why not reveal the real you, the beautiful you, with laser hair removal? It is a decision you will never regret and one that will impact far more than your looks. This procedure is a popular procedure in Austin as more and more people are seeking help. Once you've found the right clinic and practitioner, it's time to get ready for your appointment. What do you need to do to be prepared?

If you've already had a consultation with your doctor or licensed professional, you know if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal. In general, people with light skin and dark, coarse hair are the easiest to treat. They typically need fewer treatments. Those with blonde, red, or gray hair or fine hair may need more treatments. Those with dark skin may see benefits but it is not guaranteed by any means. In general, laser treatment is effective for those who have a greater contrast between the skin and hair, with the surrounding hair being darker than the skin. If you fit the criteria, LHR can be remarkably effective.

*If you have light skin that is tanned, you need to wait until your tan has faded in order for laser hair removal to work optimally.

*Avoid tweezing or waxing your hair within four to six weeks of your appointment.

*Shaving and using depilatory creams is fine.

*Your doctor may prescribe skin care products to prevent pain during the LHR procedure.

*Shave the area that is going to be treated within 24 hours of your appointment. If you are getting a bikini wax, your practitioner may want you to shave three days prior and then allow stubble to grow back in so he/she can follow your natural bikini line. Your doctor may have more specific instructions as to when to shave, so make sure to ask.

*If you are getting a bikini wax, your practitioner will often provide you with a numbing cream. Apply this an hour before your LHR treatment.

*If you are having laser hair removal performed on your underarms, stop using deodorant three days before your procedure.

*Make sure the area to be treated is free of lotions or sprays. Your skin needs to be clean for optimal results.

*About an hour before your LHR treatment, take a Tylenol or ibuprofen to help get a head start on pain. Taking a pain reliever before the procedure will keep you, if not comfortable, at least less uncomfortable.

*In between hair removal sessions, do not tweeze or wax.

*Prepare your skin by exfoliating regularly.

*Ask any questions you have at your consultation so you can be prepared for your visit.

Get ready for a brand new you, a rush of confidence, and a world of difference in your appearance and attitude.
