Expert Advice for Smooth, Healthy Skin
Whether you’re new to laser hair removal or a seasoned pro, a little guidance can go a long way. At Cabelo Hair Co., we believe informed clients get the best results—so we’ve compiled our top hair removal tips to help you feel confident every step of the way.
1. Start with a Clean, Shaved Area
Before any laser session, make sure to shave the treatment area 24 hours in advance. Avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams, as these remove the hair follicle—what the laser needs to target.
2. Avoid Sun Exposur
Tanned or sunburned skin can be more sensitive and may interfere with laser effectiveness. Use sunscreen daily and avoid tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before and after your appointment.
3. Skip Certain Skincare Products
In the days before and after your treatment, avoid products with retinol, glycolic acid, or other harsh actives. These ingredients can increase sensitivity and risk irritation.
4. Hydration is Key
Well-moisturized skin not only feels better but also responds better to treatment. Drink plenty of water and use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer daily to maintain skin health.
5. Exfoliate—But Not Too Soon
Exfoliating 2–3 times a week helps prevent ingrown hairs, especially after shaving or laser. Wait at least 3–5 days after your session before resuming exfoliation to give your skin time to heal.
6. Stay Consistent with Sessions
Laser hair removal works best when you stick to your schedule. Hair grows in cycles, and consistent treatments—every 4 to 6 weeks—are essential to target all follicles effectively.
7. Avoid Heat & Sweat Post-Treatment
After a session, skip the gym, saunas, or hot showers for 24–48 hours. Heat can irritate freshly treated skin and increase the chance of breakouts or discomfort.
8. Be Patient with Results
It takes time! Hair falls out gradually after each session, and you’ll likely see significant reduction after 4–6 treatments. Stick with the plan and trust the process.
