Winnipeg laser hair removal

Starting your journey toward healthier, smoother skin is an exciting step—but preparing for your first skin treatment is just as important as the treatment itself. Whether you're booking a facial, microneedling, or Winnipeg laser hair removal, Self Aesthetics is here to guide you every step of the way. Here’s everything you need to know to walk into your first appointment with confidence.

1. Know Your Skin Goals

Before your appointment, take a moment to reflect on your skin concerns and goals. Are you dealing with acne scars, unwanted hair, hyperpigmentation, or dry, dull skin? At Self Aesthetics, our team tailors each treatment to meet your unique needs. Understanding your goals helps us recommend the best treatments—like laser hair removal or custom facials—that suit your skin type and lifestyle.

2. Book a Free Consultation

We always recommend starting with a free consultation. During this visit, our experienced skin specialists will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine if you're a good candidate for treatments such as Winnipeg laser hair removal. This is your chance to ask questions, share concerns, and learn about the treatment process in detail.

3. Avoid Sun Exposure

For most skin treatments—especially laser services—avoiding sun exposure is crucial. If you're booked for laser hair removal in Winnipeg, we recommend staying out of the sun for at least two weeks before your appointment. Sunburned or tanned skin increases the risk of irritation and can affect the effectiveness of the laser.

4. How to Prepare for Winnipeg Laser Hair Removal

If you're coming in for Winnipeg laser hair removal, here are a few key steps to follow:

• Shave the area 24 hours before your appointment. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these remove the hair follicle that the laser targets.
• Skip the lotions and creams on the day of your session to keep the skin clean and dry.
• Wear loose clothing to avoid irritation post-treatment.

These small steps ensure the laser can do its job effectively while keeping your skin comfortable and safe.

5. Pause Certain Skincare Products

About a week before your treatment, pause the use of exfoliants like retinol, AHAs, and BHAs. These products can make your skin more sensitive and increase the chance of redness or peeling after treatments. Our team will give you a personalized list of what to avoid and when to restart your routine.

6. Stay Hydrated and Avoid Caffeine

On the day of your appointment, drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine, which can increase sensitivity during treatment. Hydrated skin responds better to all skin treatments, from facials to laser sessions.
