Preparing For Your Laser Hair Removal Sessions with Pre-Treatment Tips in Toronto

Whether you are extremely hairy in all areas of your body, or only on a few specific areas. Laser Hair Removal is a way to completely get rid of any unwanted hair. Not only can you use laser hair removal in Toronto on larger body parts like the legs and arms, but laser hair removal is effective on the bikini line, face, back, and more. IGBeauty uses the NEW LightSheer DUET and GentleMax Pro for laser hair removal treatments that leave you hair-free after 5-7 sessions. These lasers emit a wavelength of infrared light to target the follicle of each hair and essentially “laser it off.”  Before going forward with your laser hair removal in Toronto, there are a few steps to take to prepare and ensure you’re getting the most out of your treatment.

Stay out of the sun for 2-4 weeks before an appointment!

Before going in for your first treatment, it’s extremely important to stay out of the sun for at least 2-4 weeks. Tanning can cause your skin to become more sensitive to the light energy used in the laser hair removal process. This can put you at a higher risk of hyperpigmentation or even burns and scarring. We recommend laser hair removal during the months when you know you aren’t going to see any sun! This rule applies throughout the entire duration of your sessions. 

Shave before your appointment

In order to get the best results from your laser hair removal appointment, you should shave all the areas you plan to treat, except for the facial area for females. Shaving prior to your appointment increases the effectiveness of your laser hair removal treatment. That’s because LightSheer DUET and GentleMax Pro lasers directly target the hair follicle in order to properly remove it from the skin. Shaving within 12-24 hours is best as your laser technician will not be able to laser any hair follicles that are above the skin. 

Be prepared to commit to coming every 6-8 weeks

If you want your laser hair removal treatments to work to its full capacity, you have to commit to coming back every 6-8 weeks for an average of 5-7 sessions. With consistent appointments, it is guaranteed that you will see progress and eventually be hair-free altogether.
