CARE GUIDELINES

Laser Hair Removal Care Guide

Because Laser Hair Removal works over a series of sessions, consistent prep and aftercare, especially around sun protection and hair removal methods between visits, helps you get the most out of every appointment.

WHY IT MATTERS

Why Aftercare Matters for Your Results

Since laser hair removal targets pigment in the hair follicle, sun exposure and other hair removal methods between sessions can affect both your results and your skin's safety during treatment.
