Proper preparation is key to ensuring your skin responds beautifully and comfortably from the very first session.
At Ariana Esthetic, we’re proud to serve both women and men seeking professional laser hair removal in Edmonton. Smooth, confident skin isn’t just for ladies — men often choose laser treatments for areas such as the back, chest, neck, and beard line to save time and reduce irritation from daily shaving. Whether you’re looking for a cleaner look or long-term convenience, laser hair removal is a safe and effective option for everyone.
1. Avoid Sun Exposure
Two weeks before your appointment, avoid direct sunlight, tanning beds, and self-tanning products. UV exposure can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of irritation during treatment. If you need to be outdoors, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin. This simple step helps maintain your skin’s health and improves your overall skin rejuvenation results.
2. Shave the Area — But Don’t Wax or Pluck
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session. Shaving ensures that the laser hair removal device can effectively target the pigment inside the hair follicle without damaging the skin’s surface. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading for at least four weeks before treatment — these methods remove the hair root that the laser needs to detect.
3. Skip Creams, Deodorants, and Makeup
Arrive with clean, product-free skin on the day of your appointment. Avoid using lotions, perfumes, deodorants, or makeup on the treatment area. These products can interfere with the laser’s precision and may cause mild irritation. Our trained staff can cleanse the area before your session if needed.
4. Choose Comfortable Clothing
After treatment, the skin may feel slightly warm or tender. Wearing loose, breathable fabrics — such as soft cotton — helps minimize friction and allows your skin to recover comfortably.
5. Trust Your Personalized Consultation
Before your first session, our physician, Dr. Sara Hashemzadeh, will perform a detailed skin and hair assessment to customize your treatment settings. This ensures optimal safety and long-lasting results tailored to your skin type.
