  While in the shower, use a loofah or gentle scrub to exfoliate the area you want to shave. This will get rid of dead skin and help the razor to glide over your skin, giving you a closer and longer-lasting shave. Do not after shaving, as it may cause additional to your skin.

  
  

  If your skin is and you are using the right products, you will reduce the risk of skin irritations, hairs or razor burns. Never try to shave using shaving cream or gel, as it may burn off your skin or in cuts.

  
  

  For a smoother shave, immediately after your shower, while your skin is still wet, apply some oil. Rinse off. Then use the cream or gel.

  
  

  Use a fresh razor. An old or razor won’t work well and may irritate your skin. Also, make sure you don’t go over the same are too many times and rinse the razor .

  
  

  Rinse with cold water to close your pores, then use a soft towel and lightly pat dry. Moisturise with light body oil or cream. While soap and water dry your skin, shaving also will increase this effect. Using a amount of moisturiser will help to protect your skin. Also, try to shaving while you are on your period, as your skin will be more sensitive.

  
  

  Shave the Right Way for Each Body
  your shaving technique to the specific part of your body you’re is crucial for several . areas of the body have degrees of and contours, requiring specific approaches to ensure a smooth and irritation-free shave. Additionally, other may have denser hair growth or curves that demand certain to an effective and precise shave without causing discomfort or nicks. Let’s take a closer look:

  
  

  For example, facial skin is typically more delicate to areas like the legs or underarms, requiring gentler and awareness of grain to prevent razor burns or ingrown hairs. Additionally, other regions may have denser hair growth or curves that demand certain to an and precise shave or nicks. Let’s take a closer look:

  
  

  It is best to shave your legs in long, steady strokes. Be around the bonier areas, as you don’t want any cuts. Bend your leg while shaving your knees and stretch while shaving the back of your leg. Also, you can your foot in while you are doing your ankles.

  
  

  Underarm hair usually grows in different directions, so shaving in one direction may not be enough. For the best result, lift your arm above your head and shave in short in all directions. Wait for 1–2 hours before .

  
  

  As the skin on your bikini area is more sensitive, you should shave gently. Shave in the direction of the hair growth first, and then for a closer shave, you can go against the hair growth direction.

  
  

  Make sure to use creams after such as Bepanthen or nappy cream which are and richer and you will the irritation, as many may not be suitable for your skin on the bikini area.

  
  

  Why Do You Need Multiple Laser Hair Removal Sessions Anyway?

  
  

  Our laser expert and director Lucy Xu why:

  
  

  Hair grows in 3 different stages.

  
  

  She continues "while laser targets the root of the hair, it can only work on hair in the Anagen stage, as this is the only time the root is connected to Dermal Papilla". As we don’t know which hair is in the Anagen stage at the time of your treatment; we can only about 10% of the total hair per – the ones in the Anagen stage. On your next session, the laser will target and destroy the next group of hair in the Anagen stage. And so it continues until all the hair has been destroyed, over several sessions and months. That’s why are needed for hair removal.

  
  

  
  

  Waxing and Using Epilators After Laser Hair Removal

  
  

  The options for removing hair will affect the hair in different ways. Waxing or target the hair root and can change the hair growth cycle (Anagen, Catagen, stages). This will reset your treatment so is a big no-no as you will have to start your over. Plus laser targets and the root of the hair. and waxing will get rid of the hair but the hair will come back even . This means that your previous laser to weaken the hair roots go to waste. If you cannot wax and epilate that only leaves one option???Shaving!

  
  

  What If I Don’t Want To Shave My Face? 

  
  

  If you are having with laser i.e. sideburns, upper lip, or full face; you may not want to shave. Which is absolutely fine, but avoid waxing or !

  
  

  We recommend you trim your facial hair with if you can, or try covering up with makeup. For , the best way to hide it is by using a thick foundation followed by powder and light blush on the hairy area to blend the colour. However, if you are halfway through laser treatment, you may only have light hair on your face. To hide it, you can use a light liquid only followed by powder.

  
  

  Getting back to shaving

  
  

  Even though we recommend in between laser as a last resort, you should try to keep to a minimum.The less you shave the better results you will get when you come back for laser hair removal treatment.
