Your First Laser Hair Removal Appointment: 5 Things to Know

Thinking about your first Brazilian laser appointment? It is natural to have questions about preparation, privacy and what the treatment may feel like. At AKIRA CLINIC in Sukhumvit 24, our team is here to guide you through your visit.

1. Shaving Is Included

You do not need to shave at home before your Brazilian laser appointment. Our team takes care of shaving at the clinic as part of your preparation.

If you have questions about how to prepare your skin or if you have recently waxed, let our team know before your visit. They can advise you on the next steps.

2. Your Visit Is Private

We understand that privacy matters, especially when you are visiting for a Brazilian laser treatment for the first time. Your treatment takes place in a private room, and female staff are available.

If you have a preference or any questions about your appointment, please let us know when you contact the clinic. Our team can explain the process before treatment begins.

3. Cooling Gel Is Applied

Before treatment, a member of our team applies cooling gel to the area being treated. The gel is intended to help keep your skin comfortable during the session.

If you have sensitive skin or are concerned about any products used during your visit, please discuss this with the team beforehand.

4. You May Feel Mild Warmth

During laser treatment, you may notice mild warmth or a light snapping sensation. Everyone experiences treatment differently, and the sensation can vary. Please tell your practitioner if you feel uncomfortable or if the sensation becomes painful.

Protective eyewear is worn during laser treatment. The American Academy of Dermatology describes the sensation for some patients as warm pinpricks or a light snap.

5. Follow Your Aftercare Instructions

After your session, your skin may feel sensitive. Our team will explain how to care for the treated area and answer any questions you have.

General advice includes avoiding heat, friction and products that may irritate the skin for a period after treatment. Follow the specific instructions given to you by your practitioner, including their advice on suitable products and when to return to your usual routine.

Mild redness or swelling can occur after laser treatment. If you experience blistering, increasing pain or spreading redness, contact the clinic promptly for advice. Protect treated skin from direct sun exposure and follow your practitioner’s guidance.
