Laser depilation is a very convenient procedure, especially during the holiday season. Areas such as the calves, bikini or underarms have sensitive skin, and shaving with a razor during the holidays usually ends up with pimples on the body. Laser hair removal saves a lot of time and the visual effect after the treatment is much better than with home hair removal. Laser treatment with the Prime 3D device at the medical clinic leaves the skin perfectly smooth, which is a huge advantage when it comes to the beach. It is a good idea to know its contraindications before having the treatment, so as not to expose the skin to any conditions.

Tanning before laser hair removal
Laser depilation It is painless and completely safe, but it does have its specific requirements. It is not allowed to sunbathe immediately before and after the treatment. Ignoring the recommendation can end up with discoloured skin. Why? A series of treatments destroys the hair stem cells. Tanned skin does not allow the laser to pass through, so tanning before treatment can completely destroy the effect. In addition, sunbathing makes the skin more sensitive. Treating it exacerbates this effect and can lead to severe irritation of the epidermis.

Tanning after laser hair removal
Sunbathing immediately after a laser hair removal treatment is just as harmful as exposure to the sun before hair removal. Both artificial light and sunlight can aggravate slight skin irritation and expose us to discomfort. The consequences depend on the individual inclinations of each patient. Some people will expose their skin to the sun without major complications, while others can lead to visible discolouration. This does not mean that we must not go out after depilation. However, a necessary step is to stock up on sunscreen with the highest concentration of filters (i.e. 50 SPF, for example).
When can you sunbathe after laser depilation?
The optimum time limits for tanning with laser hair removal treatment are up to 2 weeks before treatment and up to 2 weeks after treatment. A month without sunbathing will help us to keep the treatment as safe as possible, as well as the results properly. Self-tanning creams and solarium visits should also be abandoned for this period.
