Before Your Appointment

  • 1

    Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment - do NOT wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams, as the laser needs the hair follicle intact

  • 2

    Avoid sun exposure and self-tanners for at least 2 weeks before treatment to reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation

  • 3

    Discontinue retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs on the treatment area for 5-7 days prior

  • 4

    Arrive with clean skin - no lotions, deodorants, or products on the treatment area

  • 5

    Wear loose, comfortable clothing that provides easy access to the treatment area

During Your Treatment

1

Skin Assessment

Your clinician evaluates your skin tone, hair color, and the treatment area to determine the optimal laser settings for your unique profile.

2

Preparation

The treatment area is cleaned and a cooling gel may be applied. You'll be given protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser light.

3

Laser Application

The laser handpiece is placed against your skin and delivers controlled pulses of light energy. Each pulse targets dozens of hair follicles simultaneously. Most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snap accompanied by a warm sensation.

4

Cooling & Comfort

Our laser features built-in cooling technology that soothes the skin with each pulse, minimizing discomfort throughout the treatment.

5

Post-Treatment Care

A soothing aloe-based gel is applied to the treated area. Your clinician reviews aftercare instructions and schedules your next session.

After Your Treatment

Apply the provided soothing gel and a cold compress if you experience mild redness or warmth

Avoid hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours

Apply broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to the treated area

Treated hairs will appear to continue growing for 1-3 weeks before shedding - this is normal and expected

Shaving is permitted after 48 hours, but do NOT wax or pluck between sessions

Frequently Asked Questions

Does laser hair removal hurt?+
Most patients find laser hair removal much more comfortable than waxing. The sensation is often described as a rubber band snap with a warm feeling. Our laser includes built-in cooling technology that soothes the skin with each pulse. Sensitive areas like the bikini line may feel slightly more intense, but the discomfort is brief and manageable.
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?+
Most patients need 6-8 sessions for optimal results. Hair grows in cycles, and the laser can only target follicles in the active growth phase. Spacing sessions 4-8 weeks apart ensures we catch each hair during its growth cycle. After completing your initial series, 1-2 annual maintenance sessions keep results smooth.
Is laser hair removal safe for dark skin?+
Yes. At Rani Beauty Clinic, we use advanced laser technology with the Nd:YAG 1064nm wavelength, specifically designed for safe, effective treatment on all skin tones, including darker complexions. Your clinician will customize the laser settings for your unique skin profile to ensure both safety and efficacy.
What areas can be treated with laser hair removal?+
We treat virtually any area of the body where unwanted hair grows, including the face (upper lip, chin), underarms, bikini line, full Brazilian, arms, legs, chest, back, and abdomen. During your first consultation, your clinician will help you prioritize areas and create a customized treatment plan.
Why do I need to shave before laser hair removal?+
Shaving ensures the laser energy is focused on the hair follicle beneath the skin's surface rather than being absorbed by hair above the skin. This makes the treatment safer, more effective, and more comfortable. Shave 24 hours before your appointment - never wax or pluck, as these remove the follicle the laser needs to target.
