Avoid anything that irritates your skin and avoid intentional tanning. Apply sunscreen when you go outdoors during the day.

Shave the treatment area before your appointment day, for example the face, underarms or abdomen. On the day, clean the skin and do not apply lotion, makeup, perfume, powder or oil to the area.
Leave anaesthetic use to your doctor
Your doctor will decide whether an anaesthetic is needed and supervise its use, whether applied to the skin or injected. Do not apply or use an anaesthetic yourself before coming to the clinic unless your doctor has instructed you to do so.
Report any unusual reaction to the anaesthetic immediately
If you have an unusual reaction to the anaesthetic, tell your doctor or care team immediately so they can stop the procedure at that point.
Tell us about dental work and metal in your mouth
If treatment will be near your mouth, tell us about any crowns, dentures, braces or other metal in your mouth. These areas may be more sensitive during treatment.
Tell us how you have removed hair before laser
Laser hair removalWaxing, plucking or electrolysis within 6 weeks
