“Also avoid hot baths, showers, or steaming for 24 hours prior. If you are waxing, avoid gels, oils, and lotions,” she says. “If you are between laser treatments, do not wax, tweeze, epilate, or use chemical depilatories. Only shave.” As for those at-home waxing kits and home laser hair removal machines? Dr. Shamban thinks they’re a good way to stick to your routine, as long as you’re careful. “Most all of the home kits for waxing or laser can work, but you need to take precautions because damage can be done to the dermis,” says Dr. Shamban. If you do decide to wax at home, her tips are to “check temperature, and direction of the hair to minimize the potential for damage.
If you’re thinking of bleaching the hair to minimize its appearance instead of removing, Dr. Shamban says that’s okay to do at home. “Always follow directions about mixing bleaching agents,” she warns. “Be mindful of the ratios.”
