1. Shave the Treatment Area
Prior to your laser hair removal session, ensure that the treatment area is cleanly shaved. This allows the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively.

2. Cleanse and Exfoliate
Thoroughly cleanse and exfoliate the treatment area to remove any dirt, oils, or dead skin cells. This helps the laser penetrate the hair follicles more efficiently.

3. Avoid Sun Exposure
Minimize sun exposure and avoid tanning beds for at least two weeks before your laser hair removal session. Sunburned or tanned skin increases the risk of side effects.

4. Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water in the days leading up to your session. Well-hydrated skin tends to respond better to laser treatment.

5. Follow Instructions
Read and follow the user manual or instructions provided with your laser hair removal device carefully. Each device may have specific guidelines for preparation.

Don'ts - Preparing For Laser Hair Removal At Home

don'ts list-1920X1100.png__PID:8fa34be6-319e-4034-b811-9c6b1323888a

1) Waxing or Plucking
Avoid waxing, plucking, or using hair removal creams on the treatment area before your session. These methods remove the hair follicles, which are the target of laser treatment.

2) Bleaching or Tanning Products
Do not use any bleaching or tanning products on the treatment area before your session. These can alter the color of the hair and interfere with the laser's effectiveness.

3) Applying Skincare Products
Refrain from applying lotions, creams, or any other skincare products to the treatment area on the day of your session. These products can create a barrier and reduce the laser's effectiveness.

4) Medications and Topical Treatments
Inform your healthcare provider or consult the user manual regarding any medications or topical treatments that may interfere with laser hair removal. Adjustments may be necessary.

5) Overlapping Treatment Areas
Avoid overlapping treatment areas during a single session. Ensure that you maintain proper spacing between each laser pulse to prevent excessive heat buildup.

Post Treatment Care Tips

1* After treatment, apply a cold compress to the area for 5-10 minutes.

2* The heat from the laser stays in your skin for a day, so don’t touch hot water within the first 24 hours. Don’t go to the gym or saunas in order to avoid creating a warm environment for the bacteria to breed in and give you spots.

3* Some swelling or blistering is common. Therefore, you can use an ice pack to help relieve it. It usually subsides within 2-3 days.

4* Use sunscreen (SPF 30) religiously post-treatment to prevent hyperpigmentation.

5* Do not wax or pluck your hair even after the treatment, because pulling out hair follicles after laser hair removal hinders the process. However, you can shave the area if you want.

6* Avoid perfumes and deodorants for 24-48 hours after treatment.

7* Opt for lukewarm showers instead of hot showers in the first week after treatment.

8* Don’t use scrubs, glycolic acid, and retinol creams even after treatment for 2 days, and chemical peels for 2 weeks.

9* Don’t eat spicy, seafood, and pungent food. Eat less photosensitive vegetables (for example, celery, white radish, spinach, coriander, etc.

Fantastic Unit - Worth the price.

After trying multiple hair removal methods, I've finally found something that works. This 808nm laser is powerful yet gentle on the skinThis product is a game-changer! It's convenient to use at home and has saved me so much time and money compared to salon treatments.

Absolutely love this 808nm laser hair removal device!

Absolutely love this 808nm laser hair removal device! It's much more effective than IPL, and I've seen noticeable results after just a few sessions.I was skeptical at first, but this product has exceeded my expectations. It's easy to use at home and delivers professional-quality results

Excellent Laser Hair Removal Machine

I've been using the 808 Diode Laser Machine for several sessions now and I am very pleasure with the results so far. Originally, I thought the 150 watt output might be too strong for my skin, even when set to level 1. However, after using the machine, I prefer setting the level to 2 and even 3 sometimes for best results. After a session, the hairs either fall out or I can easily pull them out with tweezers. Before the laser treatment, if i pull one of my hairs and it hurts, I know the hair is intact and growing, but after one of the treatments using the 808 Laser Hair Removal Unit, the treated hairs easily pull out without any pain, and I know they were treated sufficiently for permanent destruction. Also, during a treatment, I found that at level 1 output, there is no pain, and at level 2 there is very little pain if I keep the probe moving across my skin. At level 3, I have to be careful to keep the probe moving, otherwise, it can get somewhat painful, but the results are more effective at this level. Again, overall, I am extremely pleased with the unit and the excellent price for this salon style laser hair removal machine.
