The 5 mistakes to avoid before diode laser hair removal – Zenskin Lausanne, By Zenskin Institut – Lausanne


ree

Diode laser hair removal is a powerful and long-lasting solution to get rid of

permanently hair. But to ensure its effectiveness and your safety,



There are some common mistakes that should definitely be avoided before a session.


At Zenskin Lausanne , we support our clients to achieve the best results.


Here are the 5 most common mistakes—and how to avoid them.


1. Expose yourself to the sun or UV rays just before the session

Why this is a problem:

Tanning increases melanin in the skin, which can make laser treatment

less effective... or even dangerous. A recent tan increases the risk of burning or

depigmentation.


Zenskin Advice:

Avoid any sun exposure (or UV cabin) at least 15 to 20 days before your session.

Use SPF 50 protection if you are exposed daily.



2. Waxing or using an electric epilator

Why this is a problem:

The diode laser targets the hair root. If you have removed the bulbs with wax or a

epilator, the treatment will be ineffective: there will be nothing to destroy!


Zenskin Advice:

Shave the area 24 to 48 hours before the session; this is the only authorized method. No waxing, tweezing, or electric hair removal during the entire treatment.



3. Use photosensitizing cosmetics

Why this is a problem:

Some treatments, creams or essential oils make your skin more sensitive to light, which can cause irritation or skin reactions under laser treatment.


Zenskin Advice:

Avoid applying retinoids, acids (AHA, BHA), essential oils or self-tanning products

at least 30 days before the session. During the consultation, we help you to

sort out your beauty routine.



4. Not reporting current medications or treatments

Why this is a problem:

Certain medications (antibiotics, Roaccutane, anti-inflammatories, etc.)

are photosensitizing or contraindicated with laser.


Zenskin Advice:

During your free consultation at Zenskin in Lausanne, we review your

medical history. Don't leave anything out, even if it seems minor. Your safety is paramount.



5. Come to the session without having shaved the area

Why this is a problem:

A visible hair on the surface will capture the laser energy and create an unnecessary burning sensation.

This decreases effectiveness and increases discomfort.


Zenskin Advice:

Carefully shave the area 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. If you have any doubts or difficulties (delicate area), our team can guide you or take care of it if necessary.
