Here are some tips for prepping for your Brazilian hair removal session without skin irritation.
Shave the Correct Way
Before you come in for a Brazilian laser hair removal session, you will need to shave the area beforehand to ensure that all hair is entirely removed. The issue with shaving is that it can cause temporary skin irritation, especially when done consistently. The best way to prevent skin irritation is with a proper shaving routine. Although it is customary to shave against the direction of hair growth, shaving with the grain can help minimize skin irritation. You can also exfoliate before shaving to remove dead skin cells that can clog your pores after shaving. Just ensure that you shave a day before your appointment for best results.
Avoid Sun Exposure and Tanning
Sun exposure can cause skin irritation after you shave and undergo laser hair removal. Sun tans and burns make your skin much more sensitive to heat, and given the fact that laser hair removal utilizes lasers to weaken hair follicles, it's likely that you will feel discomfort if you show up to a session with sun damage. Since most lasers target the melanin in your hair, it is best to prevent tanning so that the melanin in your skin doesn’t get accidentally targeted. This is why it is best to stay out of direct sunlight before and after your laser hair removal session.
Keep Your Skin Product Free
Before Brazilian laser hair removal, ensure that you do not apply any kind of skincare products to the bikini line before the appointment. Excess residue from these products can interact poorly with the laser and/or gels, causing skin irritation. Before your bikini laser session, simply shower with soap and water and ensure that the area is completely dry before treatment. This will ensure minimal skin irritation.
