Laser Hair Removal: What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Laser Hair Removal: What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Walking into your first laser hair removal appointment can feel like a big step — so we like to make it simple. At Summer Skin in Birmingham, MI, every first visit starts with a short consultation to understand your skin, your hair, and your goals.

Before your appointment

Shave the area the day before, skip waxing or plucking for a few weeks, and avoid sun exposure and self-tanner for about two weeks.

During the session

We'll walk you through the device, do a quick patch test if it's your first time, and then begin. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick, warm snap.

After

Mild redness is normal and usually fades within a day. Because hair grows in cycles, lasting results come from a series of sessions spaced a few weeks apart.
