With our state-of-the-art facilities in DHA Lahore and Kohinoor City Faisalabad, we ensure the highest standards of care and safety. To guarantee ideal outcomes and an agreeable encounter, it’s vital to plan for your laser hair evacuation treatment appropriately. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to get ready for your session.

Understanding Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair evacuation is an operation that utilizes a concentrated light emission (laser) to eliminate undesirable hair. The laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles, damaging them to inhibit or delay future hair growth. While this treatment can significantly reduce hair growth, multiple sessions are typically required for the best results.

Initial Consultation

Before scheduling your first laser hair removal session, you will have an initial consultation with Dr. Badie Idris. During this consultation, Dr. Idris will:

• Evaluate Your Skin and Hair Type: Determine if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal.
• Discuss Your Goals: Understand your treatment goals and expectations.
• Review Your Medical History: Ensure there are no contraindications for the treatment.
• Provide Personalized Advice: Offer specific instructions tailored to your skin type and hair characteristics.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

To achieve the best possible results and minimize the risk of side effects, follow these pre-treatment guidelines:

1. Avoid Sun Exposure

• Stay Out of the Sun: Avoid direct sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and make the treatment less effective.
• Use Sunscreen: Apply an expansive range sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher to safeguard your skin from coincidental sun openness.

2. Shave the Treatment Area

• Shave 24 Hours Before: Shave the area to be treated the day before your appointment. This helps the laser target the hair follicles effectively without singeing surface hair.
• Avoid Waxing and Plucking: Do not wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams for at least four weeks before your treatment. These strategies eliminate the hair follicle, which is important for the laser to work.

3. Avoid Certain Skincare Products

• Stop Using Retinoids and Exfoliants: Discontinue the use of retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), and other exfoliating products at least one week before your treatment to prevent irritation.
• Hydrate Your Skin: Keep your skin well-moisturized in the days leading up to your treatment, but avoid using thick, oily creams on the day of the session.

4. Discuss Medications

• Review Your Medications: Inform Dr. Idris of any medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.A few prescriptions can make your skin more delicate to the laser.
• Avoid Photosensitive Drugs: If possible, avoid medications that cause photosensitivity, such as certain antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and herbal supplements.

5. Plan Around Your Menstrual Cycle

• Consider Timing: If you are sensitive to pain, you might want to schedule your treatment around your menstrual cycle, as some women find their pain threshold is lower during this time.

What to Bring to Your Appointment

• Comfortable Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable clothing that can easily expose the treatment area.
• Previous Records: If you’ve had laser hair removal before, bring any relevant records or information about your past treatments.
• Sunscreen: Bring sunscreen to protect your skin after the treatment, especially if you will be exposed to sunlight.

The Day of Your Laser Hair Evacuation Treatment

Arrival

Upon arrival at London Aesthetics and Rejuvenation Center, you will be greeted by our friendly staff and guided to a comfortable treatment room. You might be given defensive eyewear to safeguard your eyes from the laser light.

Skin Preparation

The treatment area will be cleaned, and a cooling gel may be applied to help protect your skin and enhance the effectiveness of the laser. This gel also reduces any discomfort during the procedure.

The Procedure

Dr. Badie Idris will use a handheld laser device to deliver concentrated light pulses to the treatment area. This is what’s in store during the system:

1. Positioning: You will be positioned comfortably, and the treatment area will be exposed.
2. Laser Settings: The laser device will be adjusted to the appropriate settings for your skin type and hair color.
3. Test Pulse: A test pulse may be performed to observe how your skin reacts and to determine the most effective settings.
4. Treatment: The laser will be moved over the treatment region, radiating light heartbeats that focus on the hair follicles. You might feel a sensation like an elastic band snapping against your skin. The term of the meeting relies upon the size of the treatment region.

Post-Treatment Care

After your laser hair removal session, you will receive specific post-treatment care instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects. These instructions may include:

• Avoid Sun Exposure: Continue to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks after your treatment. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher on treated areas.
• Cool Compresses: Apply cool compresses or ice packs to the treated area to reduce redness and swelling.
• Stay away from Hot Showers: Keep away from hot showers, saunas, and exhausting activity for 24 to 48 hours after your meeting to forestall disturbance.
• Moisturize: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the treated skin hydrated.
• Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using harsh skincare products, such as exfoliants and retinoids, on the treated area for a few days.

Follow-Up Sessions

Laser hair expulsion requires different meetings to accomplish the best outcomes. Hair fills in cycles, and the laser is best on hair in the dynamic development stage.Most patients need 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to target all hair follicles effectively.
