Laser hair removal is a popular way of permanently removing unwanted body hair. Bleaching hair before laser hair removal is completely safe, according to Kansas City Laser Hair Removal. This is because laser hair removal targets the root of the hair and bleaching only treats the surface hair. You should wait one week after bleaching before you first visit, which will allow the technician to see the extent of your hair growth. This will help the technician devise a proper treatment plan for your situation. You can bleach your hair before laser hair removal using over-the-counter bleaching creams.
Step 1
Mix bleach cream with activation powder. Be careful not to spill any of the mixture onto clothes or towels. Mix thoroughly before application.
Step 2
Perform a patch test on a small area of your arm. This will ensure that you have no allergic reactions or skin sensitivity to the product.
Step 3
Apply the bleach mixture to the treatment area. You can bleach hair on your legs, face, arms or bikini area. Allow the mixture to stay on your skin for 10 minutes. Avoid leaving the mixture on for more than 20 minutes, as this could cause chemical burn and discomfort.
Step 4
Remove the bleaching cream with a paper towel and rinse the treated area with cool water. Do not use hot water, as it may irritate your skin.
Step 5
Pat the treated area dry with a clean, white towel. Never rub dry, or you could cause irritation and dry out the skin.
Tips and Warnings
- Cleaning the treated area after you have bleached with a gentle cleanser can help ensure that the bleaching mixture is completely off the skin before attending laser hair removal sessions.
