How to combine laser hair removal with other beauty treatments?

Complete skin recovery after epilation in our salon takes only 2-3 days. After all, the Motus AX laser device is a tandem of efficiency and care.

Still, we are often asked: “How to combine other procedures that are performed on the skin?” We discuss this with the doctor, an epilation specialist.

Preparing for laser hair removal

Why do questions about the compatibility of laser hair removal with other procedures arise?

We always emphasize to all clients that proper preparation affects the comfort and effectiveness of the laser hair removal procedure. Additionally, it also influences the speed of recovery AFTER.

We list the most popular beauty procedures and provide recommendations on when to schedule them to keep your skin looking beautiful.

Beauty injections

Botox. If laser hair removal is performed on the face where the procedure was done (for example, forehead or between the eyebrows), give your skin a rest for 2-3 weeks.

Biorevitalization. Wait two weeks after, and then come to us. Also, it’s better to take a break of 10-14 days after epilation if you want to rejuvenate your skin.

Massage

After epilation, massage is not recommended. The skin needs to relax, recover, and return to its natural state. After 3-5 days, feel free to go to the salon and improve its tone by entrusting yourself to the gentle hands of a masseur.

Solarium and tanning

Unlike other laser devices, the dynamic alexandrite laser allows you to safely go in the sun just 3 days after the epilation session.

The secret lies in gentle execution using a powerful cooling system and dynamic motion.

Regarding tanning before epilation – similarly, we advise against sunbathing 3 days before the procedure.

Tattoo

Combining a tattoo and laser hair removal is possible only if the design is outside the laser’s action area.

But if you want to remove hair in a nearby area, for example on the forearm (and the tattoo is above the elbow), it can simply be covered.

If the image falls within the device’s action area – we will not perform epilation – it is dangerous for your health. For details, read on the blog page.

Deep skin cleaning

Combining epilation with scrubbing risks causing inflammatory processes and slowing down the natural recovery of the skin.

After all, any cleaning – vacuum or mechanical – is a shock impact on your skin. Although it does not affect the effectiveness of epilation.

The main thing here is to let the skin rest for a few days. Therefore, to feel 100% comfortable, you can schedule scrubs, chemical and other peels 3-5 days before and after epilation.

Photorejuvenation

If you have a course of this modern improvement – we advise you to go for epilation first, then for skin photorejuvenation.

Permanent makeup

Perfecting your look by emphasizing lip contours? No restrictions are needed for epilation. After all, the laser beam does not react to red-pink shades.

As for eyebrows – if there is no swelling or “crusting” – it is safe to perform hair removal with the Motus AX laser.

We just cover the darkened brow arches with a white pencil or other auxiliary means (e.g., sponges, etc.).

Plastic surgery and laser hair removal

Although the penetration depth of the laser beam reaches no more than 4 mm, it only affects the melanin pigment.

Nearby tissues are not affected thanks to photothermolysis (we explained this concept in detail in the article).

The only thing you definitely need before starting an epilation course is to wait for the postoperative period to end.

Post-procedure care

In addition to taking breaks between some of the listed procedures, also pay attention to skin care after epilation.

We have far fewer restrictions than other salons that use diode or standard alexandrite lasers. Nevertheless, in the first 24 hours after the procedure, we DO NOT ADVISE:

1. using alcohol-based products;
2. using fatty creams and lotions (it is better to choose those with a neutral pH composition);
3. visiting a sauna or bath and taking other thermal procedures.

For bathing and washing, it is better to choose cooler water.

At LaserVille, client care comes first. Therefore, we wait until your skin calms down after other beauty procedures and only then invite you for epilation.
