Summer is just around the corner, which means now is the perfect time to get ready to show off some skin. Unless you want to spend your vacation hiding behind baggy clothes, you can’t afford to put off your laser hair removal appointment anymore. However, before you come in for the procedure, you must prepare accordingly to ensure that the treatment meets your expectations and goes off without a hitch. Here are some tips to help you prepare for a carefree, hair-free summer.

Come in for a Consultation

Even if you’ve been through a few sessions of laser hair removal in Tijuana or anywhere else, you still need to see your dermatologist as a consultation is the perfect time for you to ask everything you need to know about the treatment. Your dermatologist might also need to know some important information like your tendency to develop scars (if any), when you last tanned, if you’re taking any medication, and other similar details. Based on the information you’ve given the dermatologist and an examination of your skin, he or she will determine if you are an ideal candidate for the procedure.

Getting Ready for the Appointment

If the dermatologist says that you are a valid candidate, he or she will then give you some specific instructions before your actual appointment. For example, the dermatologist will tell you not to tan and to protect your skin by applying sunscreen before you go out under the sun. Another tip is to stop waxing or plucking hair on your body for at least 2 to 4 weeks so that the hair roots are intact. You should also avoid taking medication that would promote increased bleeding during the treatment like aspirin, herbal medication, and anti-inflammatory drugs. It is important that you follow these and other specific instructions to the letter to ensure that the procedure would be 100% effective.

Still, the best sort of preparation you can do is making sure that you visit a reliable dermatological clinic like Baja Medi Spa. Once you’ve done all of these, there’s nothing else left to do but to come in for your appointment.
