Medical laser hair removal is a safe, effective and definitive treatment, as long as it is performed taking into account some precautions, some golden rules. From the Centro de Medicina Estética Lago, one of the first level centers that are part of Top Doctors, remind us below these 10 golden rules that should not be lost sight of when we talk about laser hair removal:
1. Avoid exposure to the sun or UVA rays during the previous 30 days. 2.
2. Shave the area to be waxed approximately 2 or 3 days beforehand.
3. Go to the appointment with the areas to be depilated clean and do not apply deodorant or products containing alcohol during the 24 hours before and after the treatment.
4. Do not wear tight clothing the day before and after the treatment.
5. Respect the interval between sessions marked by the medical team.
6. Do not depilate during the month prior to treatment or between sessions with wax, tweezers, or any other method of hair removal. On the legs it is advisable to shave only the lower part and do not touch the thigh to avoid turning fine hair into hair. The lip, sideburns and between the eyebrows should not be shaved, only the scissors should be used.
7. After the session, protect the area with a specific sunscreen and avoid exposure to the sun for 15 days.
8. Do not use make-up on the day of the treatment and the day after.
9. Do not use products containing glycolic or retinoic acid during the 3 days prior to the treatment.
10. Have the treatment performed in an authorized medical center with all sanitary guarantees.
