Avoid Tanning Before and After Laser Hair Removal

Whether you choose to have professional laser treatment at a hair removal clinic or spa or you are planning on buying a laser hair removal machine for use in your own home be sure to stay out of the sun for at least two weeks before your treatment and do not plan any sunbathing sessions for at least two weeks afterwards either.

In many cases you won't want to go sunbathing anyway as you will probably want to cover up until the hair is treated and has shed and gone. But just in case you are tempted here is why you should not.

1. Tanning Makes Skin More Sensitive
Of course you will know the feeling of getting sunburnt and how sore that is. You definitely would not want to feel the sting of laser therapy on your sunburnt skin. However, whether it looks healthy or not, even light tanning actually damages your skin. The color you produce (melanin) is simply your skin's response to the damage caused by the sun. Laser hair removal will make your skin a bit sore anyway so you definitely do not want to increase its sensitivity. Any salon you go to should refuse to treat you if you have exposed your skin to the sun enough to give you any color at all. if they don't then that speaks volumes about the lack of professional care at the salon. Go elsewhere.

2. Tanning Makes the Laser Less effective
Lasers target the dark pigment in hair leaving the lighter surrounding skin undamaged. The darker the skin the more likely it is to absorb some of the laser light waves and the less energy will get absorbed by the hair follicles. While tanned skin will mean the hair follicles won't receive enough laser light energy to destroy them the skin will get enough of it to be damaged. You will not see it straight away but you will have "aged" your skin. Sunlight also has a bleaching effect on hair and that lightening effect again reduces the effectiveness of the laser light therapy.

If you stay out of the sun while undergoing treatment you might miss out on sunbathing or looking a golden healthy color for a while but you will get the most effective and safer treatment as a result.

Orange County Laser Hair Removal Clinic - Just the Thing for You

Orange County, California, is renowned for many things: it is the fifth most populated city in the country, the second in California, has terrific beaches and outstanding spas. As laser hair removal industry develops and gets more advertised, the centers which offer these procedures in Orange County are the best thing for you, and for your legs, or any other area you want to smoothen up. The appraisal of former clients can be found on the net and can convince you.

The internet can supply you with a lot of information, and if you check Orange County laser hair removal you might luckily stumble on pieces of advice and the advantages or disadvantages of visiting a clinic here. It is only normal that the most famous technicians and cosmetologists of Orange County laser hair removal centers appear completely described on the net, along with the services they provide. Such an example is Dr. Mill, which has built its reputation on hundreds of successful operations.

Out with the Old

Generally, people want ugly aspects of their body eliminated over night, and unsightly hair removal doesn't make an exception: we would all like to get over the stress of going to the beach, just because we have hair on our legs, on our backs, chests, that a shirt, manly short, or skirt cannot cover up anymore. The first options we try out are the traditional messy waxes, which are hot and cold and not very pleasant when it comes to ripping the cloth of our legs, the razors that shave the exterior hair but do not affect the follicle and the root, so in two days, you will be dealing with the same problem, over and over again. The depilatory creams are very good though because the effects can last even two month, but for the unbearable smell.

Orange County laser hair removal tells you to leave them behind, and in a few sessions get a pair of killer legs, a silky back and chest with no unsightly hair on it, a silky bikini line, or an everlasting arched eyebrow: if you are a man or if you are a woman, you may certainly have some problems with unwanted follicles in the most visible places. Numberless hours in which you try to shave and wax yourself can be used for something else which relaxes you, instead of getting wound up with stress: Orange County laser hair removal treatments use ultra-new laser machines that in a few sessions, make the hair fall by itself and destroy the root, giving you he permanency required.
