Pre-Laser Care
A few simple steps before your appointment help your treatment run smoothly and safely.
Before your appointment
Free consultation & patch test
Every journey starts with a consultation and patch test, so we can confirm your treatment plan and check how your skin responds.
Shave, don’t wax or pluck
Shave the treatment area within 24 hours of your appointment. Avoid waxing, plucking or epilating for at least 4 weeks before — laser needs the hair root intact.
Stay out of the sun
Avoid direct sun exposure, sunbeds and self-tan on the treatment area in the 2 weeks before your session — tanned or sun-exposed skin can’t be safely treated.
Arrive with clean skin
Come to your appointment with the treatment area clean, and free from deodorant, make-up, moisturiser or fake tan.
Tell us about your skin
Let us know about any medication, skin conditions, recent sun exposure or previous laser treatments at your consultation.
Choose a qualified specialist
Every Erased therapist is fully trained & insured, using medical-grade diode laser technology for the best, safest results.
Please note: this is general guidance. Your therapist will give you full, personalised pre-care instructions at your free consultation based on your treatment area and skin type.
