Shave
Shave the area being treated the night before your appointment.
No Wax
Do not wax in the 4 weeks leading up to your appointment as pigment is required in the hair follicle for the laser to identify the hair and treatment to be effective.
Avoid Direct Sunlight

Allow 2 weeks prior to your treatment if you have had incidental sun exposure  (stayed in the shade for the majority of the time during sunny periods, with or without SPF on).

Avoid Using Topical Creams
