Laser Hair Removal Pre-Treatment Checklist
LASER HAIR REMOVAL PRE-TREATMENT CHECKLIST
- Laser Hair Removal takes an average of 6 treatments or more. You will see results (thinning and hair loss) with each treatment, so you do not necessarily have to do 6 treatments if you want thinning over a few treatments, but complete hair loss usually takes 6 or more treatments.
- You cannot have recent sun exposure or tan and cannot be going out in the sun for at least a week or longer (depending on a few things) after the treatment.
- Price is per area per treatment.
- When coming in for your treatment, you need to be clean-shaven.
- DO NOT pluck or wax for one month before or during the treatment series. You CAN shave or cut hair with scissors.
- Treatments are done 6-10 weeks apart depending on the area treated.
- This IS permanent, but a few hairs may come back over the next few years requiring maintenance treatment. You will see more thinning at first with hair reduction as you get through the series.
- All skin types/colors can be treated.
- You will be required to purchase after-treatment skin care (usually about $40), which will last for the series in most cases.
- Only works on dark hairs, not peach fuzz, white/gray/blond hairs.
- Expect mild irritation and possible folliculitis after treatment.
- Discuss risks of burning and scarring, temporary or permanent, increased in darker skin, and that you should notify your service provider immediately with any questions/concerns or any signs of extended redness, swelling, pain, infection, burn, ulcer, or other.
These items have been discussed with me. I understand and have had all my questions answered. I agree to have the Laser Hair Removal Treatment. I will notify my Service Provider IMMEDIATELY if I have any concerns, questions, or problems.
