Whether it’s underarm hair that grows back a day after shaving, an unattractive bikini line, facial hair on women, or excessive chest hair on men, most people deal with at least some unwanted body hair. Fortunately, the days of waxing, plucking, or shaving being the only options to eliminate it are long gone — laser hair removal has replaced them.
What Is Laser Hair Removal?
During a laser hair removal session, your Ideal Image beauty consultant targets areas of unwanted hair growth using a wand infused with laser energy. As numerous Ideal Image reviews attest, laser hair removal is an extremely precise procedure. Targeted beams of laser energy separate hair follicles whether the unwanted hair is coarse or fine. The pigment in each hair follicle absorbs the light, causing it to fall out immediately.
Instructions for Before and After a Laser Hair Removal
Your beauty consultanttreatment
- Refrain from waxing, shaving, or using any type of hair removal cream for several days before a laser hair removal session.
- Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least four weeks before your first laser hair removal appointment. You may require longer than four weeks if you normally retain a tan for a long time. For safety reasons, we must cancel the session if you have a fresh tan or sunburn.
- An Ideal Image beauty consultant may prescribe you a tube of numbing cream that you should apply on the area requiring treatment before each session. You should not use numbing cream if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a pre-existing heart condition. Staff will also advise you about restrictions when using the cream on certain body parts.
- Remove all make-up and skincare products from the area receiving treatment prior to each session.
- Shave the treatment approximately 24 hours before your appointment.
- Ideal Image will provide you with a privacy gown if you must disrobe.
- Please wear a narrow-cut swimsuit if you have scheduled laser hair removal for your bikini area.
- All clients are advised to discontinue using Retin-A products for at least two weeks before their first appointment since they can cause skin irritation after exposure to laser light.
As a matter of courtesy, arrive at your appointment on time and do not bring children with you. Additionally, please call the office if you will be late or cannot make the session. Staff can provide you with a personalized cost estimate during your free consultation.

- Back and body: Body hair may be more attractive for men, but not when it grows out of control. Whether it’s a hairy back, stomach, or other body parts, Ideal Image staff is here to help.
- Bikini line: Stray hair or shaving bumps can make you feel self-conscious when wearing a bikini. Ideal Image reviews routinely discuss how much more confident women feel wearing their bikini after a laser hair removal session.
- Brazilian: This procedure is ideal for men or women who want to eliminate most of their pubic hair without the discomfort of shaving.
- Facial hair: The face is a haven for unwanted body hair, from annoying sideburns to eyebrows that grow together to lip hair. Laser therapy targets the precise area to eliminate facial hair.
- Leg: Most women do not appreciate leg hair and shave it off at any chance they get. With laser hair removal, you will not have to shave a single time over the next several months.
- Underarms: For women who want to say goodbye to the bumps, cysts, and razor burns from frequent underarm shaving, laser treatment can eliminate it for months.
