Is there a best time of year to start laser hair removal?
Fall and winter are ideal because you’re less likely to be exposed to sun. However, treatments can be done year-round with proper skin care and sun protection.
Do I need to stop taking certain medications before treatment?
Some medications, especially antibiotics or acne treatments like Accutane, can increase skin sensitivity. Always inform your provider about current prescriptions.
What is the best way to exfoliate after laser hair removal?
Gently exfoliate the treated area 3–5 days after your session using a soft washcloth or mild scrub. This helps shed dead hair and prevent ingrown hairs.
Is laser hair removal safe for people with vitiligo?
Laser hair removal can be risky for clients with vitiligo, as pigment changes may worsen. A provider must assess your skin carefully before treatment.
