If you have a tough time dealing with ingrown hair or just tired of regularly shaving hair off your legs, or armpits, then going for a hair removal treatment can be a liberating move. You won’t have to let the state of your armpits or legs dictate what you can wear, at least not when you finally have an easy way to get rid of unwanted hair. Here’s what you need to know about the treatment:

• Be cautious. Make sure you pick a good Laser hair removal clinic in Encinitas to perform the procedure on you. It might sound simple but it’s always better to go with the pros than suffer through any unintended consequences when you choose clinics you don’t personally trust.
• Start with a consultation. The doctor should ask you about your medical history at this point. If you’ve got any questions about the procedure, then this is the ideal time to voice them out. You could also request to have before and after photos taken to give you a better idea of the changes that happened, allowing you to examine the results in the long term.
• Don’t go out into the sun. If you’re getting this treatment, remember to stay out of the sun for at least 6 weeks prior to the procedure. If you don’t, you’ll increase the skin lightening effects, and not in a good way, Mayo Clinic warns. That’s also one reason why you should go for this treatment during the rainy season. If you like soaking up the sun, going to the beach and generally squeezing every last bit of fun out of summer, then you definitely wouldn’t want to find yourself hiding behind umbrellas or wearing heavy coveralls just to protect your skin for the upcoming treatment. If that’s not your idea of summer fun, then put off the procedure to a much, much later date.
• Don’t pluck or wax. This treatment targets hair follicles so if you pluck or wax, you might disturb the hair shaft or follicle. Also, for the treatment to work, the hair follicles have to be there. Instead of plucking or waxing, you could try shaving. If you let it grow out though, no worries. Your doctor will ask you to trim on the day of the procedure itself.
