Pesky hairs can detract from your favorite slick-back hairstyle, disrupt a clean bikini line, poke through pantyhose, and more.
Keeping up with unwanted facial and body hair often feels like a race against the clock—one we can seldom win. ⌛
But what if you didn’t have to keep pace with daily or weekly maintenance, and instead enjoyed a lasting hair-free look? Though it might sound too good to be true, we can make that dream a reality with sophisticated DiolazeXL technology.
Read on to learn what you can expect from laser treatments at Worthy Skin & Beauty Bar, or book a complimentary consultation for laser hair removal near Cambridge, Ontario.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal
Prior to scheduling your LHR (laser hair removal) near Cambridge, your medical aesthetician walks through the steps you can take to prime your skin and hair for treatment:
- Refrain from waxing or epilating within 6 weeks of your appointment.
- Skip your tanning routine for 2 weeks prior to treatment, as sunless tanning and tanning beds add pigment to your skin.
- Use SPF 30+ sunscreen to shield your skin from direct UV exposure in the weeks leading up to treatment. ☀️
- Avoid using products that contain active ingredients (like retinol) for 1 week prior to LHR.
- Use an exfoliant to scrub the skin, then shave the area 24 to 48 hours before your appointment.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to your treatment session.
- Arrive at your LHR appointment with clean, product-free skin.
Following these instructions supports optimal skin health and hair length leading up to your laser hair removal appointment.
Targeting Stubborn Hair Growth
On the day of your appointment, you can make yourself at home in one of our luxurious treatment rooms. Once you’re comfortable, your medical aesthetician applies an ultrasound gel to the treatment area, then glides the DiolazeXL laser across your skin.
The concentrated light energy targets and breaks down the pigment within the unwanted hairs, permanently damaging the follicles. With each subsequent session, your results only improve. ✨
Caring for Your Skin After Laser Hair Reduction
For the first day or so after your treatment, you might notice mild redness or feel tender around the treatment area. Immediately following a laser hair removal session, we recommend that you:
- Apply a cool compress to ease any mild discomfort.
- Take medication as needed to reduce pain.
- Wear loose, breathable clothing, avoiding your favorite workout set and other compressive garments.
As your skin heals and your hair growth slows in response to treatment, you can continue to care for your skin by following some simple steps:
- Omit the exfoliating products in your skincare routine for the first few days.
- Do not shave any lingering hairs from the treated area until at least 3 days after laser hair removal.
- Avoid tweezing or waxing any regrowth for the duration of your treatment plan.
- Use broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.
With consistent treatment, you can enjoy a sleeker finish that fits your busy schedule—and your aesthetic vision.
