It's daunting to know there are so many LHR clinics available today, so how do you tell the experienced from the inexperienced when it comes to using medical grade equipment? Has your laser hair removal therapist ever mentioned the below tips...?
#1 - Activity after laser hair removal
It is recommended that you avoid doing any activity which will increase body temperature or cause you to perspire for at least 24 hours after your treatment.
#2 - Brazilian laser hair removal timeout
Many clients can treat their Brazilian and underarms in just 5 minutes depending on individual hair growth and density.
#3 - Hormones and laser hair removal

#4 - Pigmentation from laser hair removal
To minimise risks of pigment changes to the area being treated avoid sun exposure, solarium and fake tan two weeks before and two weeks after each treatment. Allows apply SPF
#5 - Troublesome hair removal areas
When surveyed, the majority of women believed they were one of the few with troublesome nipple, facial and snail trail hair growth - when in fact we treat these concerns daily
#6 - Stress slows laser hair removal results
When you stress your body produces more of the hormone androgen, which can cause hirsutism ( hair on a woman that matches a male hair pattern, you know the ones we’re talking about those odd ... and annoying chin hairs gggrrrrrr) Androgens also increase oil production which can lead to oily skin, acne and other related skin problems such as worsening of cold sores, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis and dehydration.
It's also aging's best friend. When you stress you frown which causes frown lines and wrinkles. Chronic stress deprives your skin of the blood and oxygen it needs to be healthy, causing it to lose its elasticity and break more easily and eventually your skin will take on a dull aged appearance.
So stress less

And when you can't help but stress…increase leaves of B vitamins as they keep you healthy during
times of stress and anxiety and will help ensure that you do not become more stressed. Get your vitamin
B from animal-based meats that are high in vitamin B12 or cereals that have been enriched with B12, or
take a supplement to ensure you get enough B12. Also, foods such as broccoli, almonds and milk will
provide you with rich sources of B vitamins.
