I'm getting laser, what do I do now?
Wohooo, you've booked your appointment & you're one step closer to the smoothest skin of your life. Here's what to do next
Laser pre + post care
It's super important to follow the laser rules, the Eneka Pro 5000w diode laser is the most powerful on the market, that means serious results! But it also means you need to protect your skin pre + post treatment. Here's the rules:
4 weeks before
STOP waxing, epilating, plucking or using hair removal creams. We need the hair to be present in the root in order for the laser to target it. You can shave or dermaplane instead.
4 weeks before
Avoid sun tanning. Stop using sunbeds or sunbathing, we need your skin to be as close to its natural colour as possible to avoid damaging it.
Avoid fake tan 10 days before treatment.
24hrs
before
Make sure all traces of fake tan are removed.
Take a photograph of your hair growth to show your laser tech, this helps us monitor progress + make adjustments to get you the best result.
Shave the areas being lasered
Fill out your consultation form on Booksy + make sure to let us know of any changes to medical history
On the Day
Make sure the treatment area is shaved + no creams or deodorant are applied to the area.
Wear loose comfortable clothing to your appointment if possible.
0- 48 hrs post laser
You must keep your skin COOL + CLEAN during this time.
Avoid friction + heat: this means no swimming, saunas, hot tubs, touching, sex, exercise, sun bathing, sun beds ect.
Don't use any products in the area unless it's a gentle cleanser/ shower gel or aloe vera gel.
Baths + showers are fine, not too hot.
Apply a cold compress if needed.
1-2 weeks post laser
Avoid any skin peels, botox/ fillers or exfoliation in the treatment area for the 1st week
Avoid fake tan until 10 days after your laser session, all traces of fake tan need to be gone before your next session
Lightly exfoliate in week 2 to help remove any shedding hairs, we recommend Ruff Stuff daily scrub - available at Wax it
Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks post laser, remember to plan your sessions around any holidays
Between sessions
Avoid active tanning + sunbeds between sessions
Use SPF 50 if the treatment area is exposed to the sun
Shaving is the recommended hair removal method between sessions, you can wax with 4 weeks either side of your laser sessions if needed
Lightly exfoliate 3 x per week to remove shedding hairs + keep skin healthy
4-10 weeks later
Time to get lasered!
Your laser tech will give you a personalised schedule at consultation + continue to monitor your progress over your journey, making adjustments if needed. We are totally obsessed with getting you the best results!
