How to Prevent Scarring from Laser Hair Removal Before you get a laser hair removal treatment, you need to understand some of the risk factors that may lead to scaring. Some of these are:
Skin tone
Medical history and the ability of your body to heal properly.
If you have been using Accutane
The laser machine that will be used for the treatment.
The aesthetician who will be carrying out the treatment.
Having understood the risks, here are ways that you can prevent scaring as a result of laser hair removal treatment:
Know your type of skin: You should be aware of the color of your skin and hair so that you can know if the treatment will be effective. You should also ensure that the laser machine that will be used is the right one for your skin and hair type.
Ensure that the aesthetician is both trained and experience in the art of laser hair removal: Do not allow a person who has no training or experience to use you as a tool of learning how to carry out a laser hair removal treatment.
If you have been using Accutane, you should avoid laser hair removal treatment for at least one year. If you get on with a laser treatment before one year, your shin might get scared.
Follow instructions: You should ensure that you follow all the instructions that have been given by the aesthetician before and after the treatment. This is to ensure that your skin is well prepared to undergo a laser hair removal treatment and after the treatment is over, the skin will be given the right treatment so that the healing can take place without scarring.
Laser hair removal is an expensive treatment and you should not take shortcuts in order to spend less. You may end up spending more on the treatment of the scarring that results from a substandard treatment that what you would have spent if you went to a good spa.
