Step 1
Do your homework when checking out possible facilities. If you opt for a medical spa, make sure that there is a board-certified physician heading the establishment.
-
Step 2
Schedule a consultation at your establishment of choice. No place should offer "walk-in" laser treatments, so be wary of any that do.
-
Step 3
Ask a lot of questions at your consultation. Be sure that your procedure will be performed by a trained, board-certified dermatologist. If you are told that there will be a physician on the premises during your procedure (though not necessarily performing said procedure), look elsewhere. Remember, laser hair removal is a medical procedure and should only be done by a medical professional.
-
Step 4
Ask to see before and after photos of previous clients during your consultation. As skin tone is a huge factor in laser candidacy, ask to see photos of clients with skin tones that are close to your own.
-
Step 5
Find out how long the physician has been performing laser hair removal treatments. Ask about what equipment he/she will be using and how much experience they have on that particular system.
