Before, After & Finding Us in Hyattsville, Fairfax, and Towson
Ready for your laser hair removal session? Here’s everything you need to know to prep, find us, and care for your skin afterward. We’re all about making this easy and stress-free so you can get smooth and stay confident. Let’s do this!
Before Your Appointment
To make sure everything goes smoothly, please take a moment to complete the intake forms sent in your confirmation email after booking. Then, follow these steps:
- Stop using antibiotics like Doxycycline, Minocycline, Ciprofloxacin, or Bactrim 2 weeks before your session. Accutane needs to be stopped 6 months prior. On other prescriptions? Give us a quick call to check.
- If treating your face, underarms, or areas where you use Retin-A, tretinoin, hydroquinone, acne treatments, chemical exfoliants, any active ingredients (acids), or steroid creams, pause them 2 weeks before.
- Avoid sun exposure or self-tanners on the treatment area for 2 weeks prior. We need your skin at its natural tone.
- Shave the area the day before or the day of your appointment. (Your last wax must be 5+ weeks ago for your first session.) If you show up unshaven without letting us know, we may need to reschedule with a fee. Need help shaving hard-to-reach spots (like a full back)? Let us know ahead, and we’ll shave for you for $25.
- We’ll reschedule if you’re wearing makeup on facial areas, unshaven without notice, on restricted meds, pregnant, under 18, or waxed within 5 weeks.
- We’re card-only—no cash. Bring a debit or credit card, and you’re good to go!
