Candela™ Laser Hair Removal

How to Prepare

In order to achieve the best results we ask that you refrain from self-tanners, tanning beds and sun exposure. Failure to do so may result in scarring, hyper pigmentation and burn. This could lead to the possibility of permanent side effects. Additionally, we ask that you don’t wax, tweeze, bleach or use depilatory creams during treatment. Using these hair removal methods will make the laser ineffective and you will not see the results you are looking for. You may shave as much as you like. This is the only form of hair removal that you can do during treatment and still achieve good results. Do not use topical retinoids or prescription medicines during treatment. We also ask you to inform us if you have been taking antibiotics. We cannot perform treatment until 2 weeks after your last dose. Antibiotics and Accutane will increase your photosensitivity to the laser and put you at risk for side effects. Before coming in we ask that you shave the area to be treated, with the exception of women having treatment to the face. The area should be cleaned beforehand. Deodorants, lotions and cosmetics should be completely removed before receiving treatment. Laser hair removal may not be performed on those who are pregnant or trying to get pregnant.
