How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal Appointment at CYA Laser Clinic, Caringbah

If you’ve booked your first laser hair removal appointment in Caringbah, congratulations — you’re one step closer to smoother, hair-free skin! At CYA Laser Clinic, we want to ensure you get the most effective and comfortable results possible. Preparing properly for your treatment is key, especially if it’s your first time.

Here’s everything you need to know to prepare for your laser hair removal appointment at our Caringbah clinic.

🔍 1. Shave the Area 24 Hours Before

We recommend shaving the area to be treated the night before your appointment. This allows the laser to focus on the pigment in the hair follicle beneath the skin, rather than surface hair. Avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams in the weeks prior, as these remove the follicle the laser needs to target.

🌞 2. Avoid Sun Exposure & Fake Tan

Laser and sun-exposed or freshly tanned skin don’t mix well. For at least 2 weeks before your appointment, avoid:

  • Direct sun exposure

  • Tanning beds

  • Fake tans (they must be completely removed)

This reduces the risk of pigmentation changes and burns after treatment.

🧴 3. Skip Lotions, Deodorants & Perfumes

On the day of your appointment, make sure the treatment area is clean and free from:

  • Moisturisers

  • Deodorants

  • Perfume

  • Makeup (for facial treatments)

This helps avoid skin irritation and ensures better laser contact with the skin.

💊 4. Avoid Certain Medications if Possible

Some medications (like antibiotics or acne treatments such as Roaccutane) can make your skin more sensitive to laser. Let us know before your appointment if you are taking any new medications, and we’ll advise whether it’s safe to proceed.

🧘♀️ 5. Dress Comfortably

Wear loose, comfortable clothing — especially if you're treating areas like your bikini line, underarms, or legs. You’ll want easy access to the treatment area without irritation afterward.

📋 6. Discuss Your Skin & Hair Type

At CYA Laser Clinic in Caringbah, we tailor every treatment to your unique skin and hair type. Our team of therapists is trained in treating with all parameters of our laser hair removal device. Be ready to discuss your:

  • Hair colour and thickness

  • Skin type

  • Medical history

  • Previous hair removal methods

This helps us personalise your treatment for the best and safest results.

📅 7. Follow Your Treatment Plan

Laser hair removal is most effective with consistent treatments. Most clients need a course of 8-12 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, to get to a general maintenance level of hair removal. We’ll help create a schedule to suit your goals.
