Laser Hair Removal · Pre & Post CareBefore & After Your Treatment
Simple steps to get the best results from laser hair removal with the Motus AZ+ on any area, and what to expect while you heal.
These are general guidelines. Your provider may give you instructions that are specific to your treatment. Always follow those first. If you think you are having a medical emergency, call 911.
Step 1
Before Your Appointment
- Shave the treatment area the day of your appointment.
- Do not wax, tweeze or thread for at least 4 weeks before. The hair root needs to be there for the laser to work.
- Avoid moderate sun exposure and self-tanner for 2 to 4 weeks.
- Skip retinols, AHAs and exfoliants on the area for 5 days.
- Come with clean skin: no lotion, deodorant or makeup on the area.
Step 2
After Your Treatment
- Avoid moderate sun exposure and saunas for 24 hours.
- Wear SPF on treated areas that see the sun.
- Between sessions, shave only. Do not wax, tweeze or thread.
- Skip retinols and exfoliants on the area for a few days.
Don’t Worry
What’s Normal
- Redness and small bumps around the follicles for a few hours to a few days.
- Treated hairs shedding over 1 to 3 weeks. This can look like regrowth, but it is not.
- Less hair after each session. Most clients need 6 to 8 sessions.
