What to Expect at Your First Laser Hair Removal Visit

A first laser hair removal visit can bring up practical questions: what happens before treatment, what should you do to prepare, and how is a plan chosen? At Luna, the first visit is organized around a medical review, a conversation about your goals, and an in-person evaluation.

How the first visit works

Luna describes the first visit in three steps: medical clearance, a consultation with a patch test, and beginning treatment when you are ready. A medical provider reviews your health history and confirms whether you are cleared for laser hair removal. You can use the consultation to meet your nurse, discuss your goals, and test a small area.

At the in-person evaluation, your nurse considers your skin tone, hair type, treatment area, and recent sun exposure. Treatment begins when appropriate. The approach is personalized rather than based on one setting for everyone.

Preparing for your appointment

Luna asks clients to shave the treatment area before an appointment and avoid waxing, tweezing, or threading. Arrive with clean skin and no lotion, oil, deodorant, or makeup on the treatment area. Let the team know about new medications, antibiotics, or skin changes, and avoid tanning and self-tanner.

If you have a question about your own health history or whether laser is appropriate for you, bring it up during the medical review rather than relying on a general article.
