If you don’t shave before laser hair removal, the laser can burn the hair on your skin. This may cause:
Skin burns or redness – The laser heats the hair, which can hurt your skin.
Less effective treatment – The laser works best on short hair close to the root.
More pain – Long hair absorbs more heat, making the treatment more uncomfortable.
For the best results, shave 24 hours before your session. Need expert care? Visit Irvine Skin for safe and effective laser hair removal.

The laser light will not be able to penetrate the follicle (the structure in the skin where the hair grows) effectively and the results will not be optimal.
