Laser Hair Reduction
Report
Patients scheduled for hair reduction should avoid electrolysis, plucking or hair waxing for six weeks prior to treatment. Any hair should be shaved prior to your visit. Patients should avoid sun exposure before and after treatment and should apply sunblock when going outdoors. Hyper-pigmentation, or darkening of the skin, is one of the most common side effects of laser hair reduction.
