It?s important to keep the skin clean and shaved before undergoing laser hair removal, as it may affect the treatment. Laser hair removal works using an energy that is absorbed beneath the skin. If the area has impurities, dirt or hair prior the treatment, the laser may not be able to effectively target the hair follicles. Not cleaning or shaving the area before the procedure could affect the results, as well as the equipment being used. It may damage the device, and reduce the efficiency of the treatment. Therefore, before undergoing laser hair removal, make sure that the skin has no lotion, deodorant, or any cosmetics, and is completely shaved.
