Full-body laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that involves using laser technology to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body. The process uses a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles, damaging them and inhibiting future hair growth.
Long-Lasting Results: Full-body laser hair removal offers longer-lasting results compared to traditional methods like shaving or waxing.
Precision: The laser can selectively target coarse, dark hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Convenience: Once the treatment is complete, individuals can enjoy the convenience of reduced or eliminated hair growth in treated areas.
At You Glow Aesthetics, we want to make sure you get the absolute best results from your session. Follow our simple care guidelines below to maximize your treatment
Shave Only: Shave all areas being treated completely 12–24 hours before your visit. Do not wax, tweeze, or pluck for 4 weeks prior.
Sun Care: Avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners on all treatment areas for 2 weeks.
Prep Skin: Arrive with clean skin, completely free of lotions, oils, creams, deodorants, or perfumes.
Clothing: Wear loose, comfortable, and breathable clothing to your appointment to prevent widespread friction afterward.
Sensations: Mild redness, small bumps, or temporary warmth across treated areas is completely normal.
Avoid Heat: Skip hot showers, baths, saunas, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours to prevent total-body skin irritation.
No Hair Pulling: Do not wax, tweeze, or pluck shedding hairs between sessions—only shaving is allowed.
Friction Control: Avoid tight clothing, skinny jeans, or rough fabrics for the first 24 hours to let the skin heal.
Sun Defense: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to any exposed, treated areas of the body when outdoors.
No, you must not wax, pluck, or tweeze the hair, as this removes the root that the laser needs to target in the next session. Shaving is the only acceptable method for hair removal between treatments.
For the first 24–48 hours, avoid anything that generates heat or sweat: hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen on all exposed treated areas.
Laser hair removal is most effective on hair in its active growth phase, so multiple appointments are required. Most clients need a total of 6-8 sessions, spaced several weeks apart, for optimal hair reduction.
You must shave the entire treatment area 24 hours before your session. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams. Crucially, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks prior.
