Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Laser Treatment - Laser Hair Removal

Thinking about booking your first laser treatment in Belfast? At Infinity Beauty and Laser Salon, we understand that trying something new can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re considering laser hair removal or laser skin rejuvenation, here’s everything you need to know before your first appointment.

What is Laser Treatment?

Laser technology uses concentrated light energy to safely target specific concerns. For hair removal, the laser works by targeting the hair follicle to reduce growth. For skin treatments, it can improve tone, texture, and tackle issues such as pigmentation, fine lines, or redness.

How to Prepare for Your First Session

• Avoid tanning (sunbeds or fake tan) for at least two weeks.

• Shave the area being treated 24 hours before your appointment (do not wax or pluck).

• Skip skincare actives such as retinol or acids 2–3 days prior.

• Keep skin clean and free of makeup before your session.

  
  

What to Expect During Treatment

Your therapist will carry out a consultation and patch test to ensure the laser is suitable for your skin type. During treatment, you may feel a light snapping or warming sensation, but it’s generally well tolerated. Sessions are quick and results build over time, usually requiring a course for the best outcome.

Aftercare Advice

Post-treatment, your skin may feel slightly warm or sensitive. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours. Always apply SPF daily to protect your skin.
