At KONCEPT Medical Clinic, your well-being and optimal outcomes are our priority. Here’s a clear, helpful guide on how you can best prepare for your upcoming laser session:

Avoid Sun Exposure

Minimize direct sun exposure for at least two weeks before your treatment. Sunburn or tanned skin can increase sensitivity and the risk of complications from laser treatments.

Pause Certain Skin Products

Stop using topical retinol, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or any exfoliating products at least one week before treatment. These products may increase skin sensitivity and irritation during the procedure.

Shave the Area

Shave the targeted area 24 hours before your appointment. This allows the laser energy to focus effectively on the hair follicles beneath the skin, maximizing treatment effectiveness.

Stay Hydrated and Moisturize

Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and using a gentle moisturizer regularly. Hydrated skin responds better and heals faster after treatments.

Skip the Waxing and Plucking

Avoid waxing, tweezing, plucking, or threading the targeted area for at least four weeks before

No Artificial Tanning

Avoid artificial tanning methods, such as spray tanning or tanning beds, at least two weeks before your laser session. Tanned skin can disrupt laser accuracy and potentially increase side effects.

Disclose Medications and Health Conditions

Inform your clinician about any medications, supplements, or medical conditions. Some medications and conditions may affect your skin’s response to the laser and require adjustments in your treatment plan.

Dress Comfortably

Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing on the day of your treatment to avoid friction and irritation post-session.

Your Comfort is Our Priority

Following these pre-treatment guidelines will help ensure a safe, effective, and comfortable laser treatment experience. At KONCEPT Medical Clinic, we’re committed to providing personalized care, ensuring your journey to smoother, healthier skin is pleasant and rewarding.
