After laser hair removal, it's advised to avoid removing hair for a period to allow the treatment to be effective. Hair will fall out naturally within 1-3 weeks after the session. Avoid waxing, plucking, or threading, as these methods can interfere with the laser treatment process. Instead, you can shave, as it doesn't remove the hair from the root, ensuring the laser can still target the follicle.
