Preparation involves following these recommendations:
- Remove hair on your arms 2-3 days before the procedure, using a razor with a new blade and shaving cream
- Shave in the direction of hair growth
- After shaving, use a lotion with anti-inflammatory components to reduce skin irritation
- On the day of the hair removal procedure, a woman or man should take a shower without using gels and foams
- Do not apply creams and lotions to the skin of the hands before the session
- If you plan to use local anesthesia, inform the cosmetologist about this and come to the clinic 40-60 minutes before the appointed time
During laser hair removal of the hands, tattoos are not treated, since the laser can lighten the pigment and damage the tattoo design. In this case, it is better to use traditional methods of depilation or electrolysis.
For faster healing of the skin after laser hair removal, a woman or a man is recommended to follow a number of rules:
- Apply a cream with healing, moisturizing and antibacterial properties to the skin. Many cosmetologists also recommend coconut oil
- Avoid plucking visible dead hairs with tweezers. They will fall out on their own within 10 days
- Use sunscreen for three months after the procedure before each time you go outside
- Replace harsh soap with a soft gel or foam. Treated areas are prohibited from rubbing with a sponge or towel. You should avoid scrubbing for 3-5 days
- Take a moderately hot shower
After laser hair removal, it is better to wear loose clothing. Constant friction of the fabric against the treated skin causes irritation. It is recommended to refrain from wearing bracelets made of non-precious alloys for a couple of weeks, as there is a high risk of contact dermatitis.

The main indications for arm hair removal include:
- The presence of coarse and black hair
- Ingrown hairs after shaving
- Hypertrichosis (excessive hair growth)

Answers to popular questions
Doctors from K+31 answered frequently asked questions about laser hair removal on hands
Do tattoos affect laser hair removal?
When epilating skin with tattoos, burns or distortion of the tattoo itself may occur after the procedure. To avoid interaction between the laser and the tattoo, the cosmetologist applies a cosmetic pencil to the tattoo, which makes it resistant to the laser. This approach complicates the specialist's work, but the presence of a tattoo is not an obstacle to laser hair removal.
Is it possible to have laser hair removal during pregnancy or during pregnancy?
After conception, it is recommended to stop laser hair removal sessions. Hormonal changes in the body of a pregnant woman increase the sensitivity of the skin, so it is better to postpone the procedures until the postpartum period and the end of breastfeeding.
About halfway through the laser hair removal course, small red bumps appeared on my arms that looked like pimples. What is this and how can I get rid of it?
“These are signs of keratosis pilaris (a buildup of dead skin cells blocking the entrances of hair follicles). I recommend treatment with drugs containing vitamins A, E and D, and using a moisturizing cream-lotion with urea. It is important to drink enough clean water, calculating 30 ml per kilogram of weight.” — the doctor answers.
How long does the effect last after a course of laser hair removal?
Epilation results can last up to 5-6 years, depending on the area being treated, hormonal levels, equipment used and the skills of the cosmetologist. Regular maintenance procedures once or twice a year can extend the effect up to five years.
Is it possible to play sports immediately after the session?
After epilation, you should avoid excessive sweating. Avoiding intense exercise in the first 2-3 days will help you achieve better results from the procedure - smooth, hairless skin for a long time.
Is it possible to perform laser hair removal on skin with moles?
Yes, you can. To do this, you need to treat the moles with a white pencil before laser hair removal. Due to the high concentration of pigment, laser irradiation can cause moles to enlarge, pigmentation to increase, or even a burn.
Can I have laser hair removal if I have HIV?
Yes, you can. It is important to remember that HIV weakens the immune system, which slows down the healing process after the procedure. Before laser removal, it is better to consult with your doctor, who is familiar with your medical history and can give specific recommendations based on your overall health.

How does laser hair removal work?
The hair removal process involves the action of a light wave on the hair roots. Depending on the type of laser device, the wave can be directed to different depths, adjust the length, frequency and duration of the light pulses. Under the influence of laser radiation, melanin located in the root is destroyed along with the blood vessels that supply the hair with nutrients. As a result of hair removal, the hairs fall out after 7-10 days and no longer grow from this root.
