Tips before you start Laser Hair Removal

There is no better time than any other to start laser hair removal.   However if you want silky smooth skin in time for summer, you should start your treatments in the cooler months as you must avoid sun exposure whilst undergoing laser treatments.

For best results, here are some top laser hair removal tips that you should consider even before you undergo treatment.
Before a laser treatment you'll be required to shave the treatment area.  Once the area has been treated you should find the hair grows at a slowed rate and is much finer.

The time between each treatment is extended as you get further along with your treatment course and hair growth generally slows even more.You can shave the treated are if desired so there will be no unwanted and embarrassing fluff in between visits.

Laser Hair Removal Tips


1.  Be sure not to wax, pluck, bleach or tweeze the area 4 weeks before commencing treatment or anytime during treatment.

2. If you have an appointment please ensure you stay out of the sun. Sun exposure 4 weeks before and after a laser treatment can cause damage/reaction to your skin.

3. For best results use a good quality exfoliator to remove the dead hair from the follicle during the course of your treatment.

A good laser hair removal clinic should inform you of these important tips when you've booked for a laser hair removal treatment. What was your laser hair removal experience like?  Do you have any other laser hair removal tips to share?


Many women these days are incorporating their beauty treatments with their vacations, getting boob jobs done in Europe and treating themselves to a facial while visiting relatives. There is something about the change in location that a vacation brings that makes doing things for ourselves seem all the more fun. Many women feel that taking care of themselves is a treat, and find it easier to indulge when already enjoying themselves away from home.
But is having a treatment done somewhere else any more beneficial than one performed in your local salon? While you might feel more relaxed while on vacation, the ability and expertise of a beautician is not dependent on where she works. It is true that large salons might have a rigorous screening process prior to employing a professional, in order to protect and encourage their reputation, a talented expert is as likely to be found running her own salon in a small country town as she is to be a member of staff at a large laser hair removal clinic in a big city. And any treatment, whether it is laser hair removal, electrolysis, waxing or sugaring will only ever be as good as the professional administering it.
If you do choose to have your laser treatment performed in a big city, there is no doubt that you will have a great selection of clinics and salons to choose from. But just as you shouldn't just select a salon randomly in a smaller town, you should do your research before selecting a New York salon too. If you get a recommendation from a friend so much the better, but otherwise be ask questions before choosing the salon or professional for you. Ask to see qualifications, and chat about experience to help you feel more comfortable placing yourself in the professional hands.
Searching for a laser hair removal specialist in a big city like New York can be an overwhelming task - where on earth do you begin your search? Thankfully, there is a place that you can start, if you have been floored by the vast array of salons available. The New York State Association of Laser Hair Removal Specialists is your first port of call when making an appointment to have laser hair removal in NY.

The New York State Association of Laser Hair Removal Specialists is a multi-purpose organisation - it has been established to ensure that high standards are employed in all of its member salons, and to maintain good communication between all its members. Both of these functions will help ensure that you get the best treatment possible, because when you select a salon that is a member of this group, you know that are choosing one that is part of a large organisation that checks the procedures that will be used on you, and that the staff of that salon will be a part of a larger supportive network that will help them to perform their job as best as they can.
Before starting Laser Hair Removal to you the following tips
-          You should also take stock of what the exact hair growth areas you would like to focus on are. Having a plan and being aware of what you want will allow you to put together a package that will take care of all the areas at once. Addressing one area at a time will increase the cost of the procedure significantly and make the process longer than it should be.

-          One of the most important things to keep in mind about laser hair removal is that quality laser hair removal clinics always own their own lasers, so make certain that the first thing you check is that the clinic you are considering owns its own equipment. If a clinic rents its lasers, it is typically a sign that the clinic is more interested in profit than medicine. It also means that the clinic probably does not keep up to date with the latest advances in laser hair removal technology. Educating yourself about the technological advances in laser hair removal is always a good idea. In almost every case, newer lasers will be safer and more effective.

-          Finally, be sure to schedule a pre-procedure consultation. Even if you are still not sure if you are interested in laser hair removal, consultations are normally free and are a great way to get concrete answers to all your questions and concerns. A consultation will also give you a feel for the clinic, and help you understand what exactly the laser hair removal procedure will involve.
