At Laser Factory, we explain everything you need to know about preparing for diode laser hair removal so you can start your treatment with complete peace of mind.

Why is preparation before diode laser hair removal important?

Most of the success of a diode laser hair removal treatment depends on the technology used and the technique of the professional performing it. However, there is another factor that is also important: proper at-home skin preparation.

Correctly following the recommendations before, during, and after the session helps improve results, reduce the risk of irritation or redness, and ensure a safer and more comfortable experience.

Key points in preparation before diode laser hair removal

Preparing the skin

Before starting a diode laser hair removal session, it is essential to follow certain guidelines and properly prepare your skin so the treatment is effective.

It is important not to use hair removal methods that pull hair out from the root (such as waxing or tweezers), as the laser would not be able to target the follicle and would therefore be ineffective. As part of the preparation before diode laser hair removal, we recommend shaving the area the day before the session using a razor or depilatory cream.

Likewise, sun exposure should be avoided for three days before and three days after the session. UVA tanning sessions should also be avoided, as tanned skin increases the risk of burns and photosensitivity.

If you are taking any medication or have any medical condition, it is essential to inform the specialist technician. Some medications are photosensitizing, and each case must be assessed individually to ensure maximum safety throughout the entire process.

On the day of the session, the skin must be completely clean and dry. It is important not to apply makeup, moisturizing creams, oils, deodorants, or self-tanners. In addition, bleaching the hair is not recommended, as cosmetic products can interfere with laser absorption.

During the laser hair removal session

We recommend wearing loose-fitting clothing to avoid irritation or other skin reactions.

Before applying the laser, tattoos and moles must be covered, and any piercings in the area to be treated must be removed, as they could cause burns.

We protect our eyes with safety goggles and… the session can begin!

After the laser hair removal session

Once the laser hair removal session is finished, the skin may be sensitive, which is why we apply our post-laser hydrogel.

We recommend avoiding physical exercise on the day of the session. It is also advisable not to go to the beach, the swimming pool, or the sauna (humid and hot environments should be avoided).

For the three days following the treatment, sun exposure is not allowed, and SPF 50 sunscreen must always be used.
