Laser Hair Removal (DiolazeXL) Before & After Care Guide

Before Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment

4–6 Weeks Prior

• Stop waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams. Shaving is the only approved method.
• Avoid tanning beds, self-tanners, and prolonged sun exposure.
• Notify your provider if you start any new medications that may cause light sensitivity.

1 Week Prior

• Discontinue retinoids, glycolic/salicylic acids, and harsh exfoliants on the treatment area.
• Avoid chemical peels or other laser treatments in the same area.

24 Hours Prior

• Shave the area being treated with a clean razor.
• Do not apply lotions, oils, deodorant, or makeup on the treatment area.

Aftercare Instructions

Immediately After

• Redness, swelling, or a ‘sunburn’ feeling is normal and may last 24–48 hours.
• Use cool compresses or aloe gel for comfort.
• Avoid touching, scratching, or picking the area.

First 72 Hours

• Avoid hot showers, saunas, jacuzzis, or strenuous exercise that causes sweating.
• No direct sun exposure; apply mineral sunscreen if treated areas are exposed.
• Avoid makeup, deodorant, or fragranced products on treated areas for 24–48 hours.

First 1–2 Weeks

• Shedding of treated hairs will occur — this may look like ‘stubble.’ Do not wax or pluck; shaving is allowed.
• Exfoliate gently after Day 5 to encourage hair shedding (if advised).
• Continue strict sun protection with mineral sunscreen.

Treatment Series & Results

• Laser hair removal requires a series of 6–8 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
• Hair regrowth will appear lighter, finer, and sparser with each session.
• Maintenance treatments may be needed annually.
