Pre-Treatment Tips: Setting the Stage for Success
Preparing your skin before your appointment helps minimize risks and enhance results.
Skincare and Sun Protection
Avoid sun exposure for at least four to six weeks prior to treatment. Sunscreen with SPF 30+ is a must. Simplify your skincare routine a week before, stopping retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and exfoliants. Use only a gentle cleanser and moisturizer.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal
Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams for at least four weeks prior.
Medications and Health History
Discuss your medical history and medications with your provider. Certain medications can increase photosensitivity.

Common Concerns and How to Address Them
It's completely normal to have questions and concerns before your first laser treatment. Here are some common ones and how we address them.
Will it Hurt?
Pain tolerance varies from person to person. While some discomfort is expected, the sensation is generally brief. Providers can use cooling devices or apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure to make the experience more comfortable. Always communicate with your technician if you feel significant discomfort.
What Is the Skin Laser Treatment Price?
The cost of laser treatments can vary depending on the type of laser used and the size of the treatment area. At Complete Health & Wellness, our laser sessions range from $200 to $600. During your consultation, we will provide a clear breakdown of the skin laser treatment price for your personalized plan.
What Should I Expect After Laser Resurfacing?
Seeing laser resurfacing before and after photos can be inspiring, but it's important to understand the healing process. After treatment, you can expect some redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. Depending on the intensity of the laser, you may also experience peeling or flaking for a few days. Following your provider’s post-care instructions is crucial for proper healing and achieving optimal results.
Your Path to Radiant Skin Starts Here
Preparing for your first laser treatment is a straightforward process that sets you up for a positive experience. By following pre-treatment advice and communicating openly with your provider, you can confidently take the first step toward the beautiful, healthy skin you deserve.
