Before hair removal, it is important to keep the treatment area clean. If opting for laser hair removal, you should shave the hair in the target area beforehand, allowing the laser's thermal energy to directly penetrate the dermis layer of the skin. This process damages and shrinks the hair follicles, achieving permanent hair removal. After the procedure, as the laser may cause some skin irritation, proper local care is essential to prevent infection. Additionally, sun protection for the treated skin should be carefully maintained.
