Your Laser Hair Removal Journey
Before Laser Hair Removal…
- Come in with a fresh shave like you have a hot date. With no downtime, you could leave your appointment straight to date night!
- Avoid sun exposure and spray tans. I know, tragedy, but it’s totally worth the results.
- Suspend Accutane for two months prior to appointment.
- No Aspirin 5-7 days before the appointment; you’re stronger than you think! You’ve got this!
- No tweezing, waxing, or epilation 2 weeks before your appointment. Drop the Tweezerman; he no longer serves you!
During Laser Hair Removal…
Our laser technician will examine your skin and hair color to calibrate the laser device according to your unique needs. During your laser hair removal in Indy, it’s crucial to wear protective eyeglasses for the entire duration of the procedure to ensure your safety. The laser device will be moved over the treatment areas to deliver energy to the unwanted hair follicles. You might experience a warming sensation, but there is no major pain. The duration of your session will range from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treated area.
After Laser Hair Removal…
You can resume most of your daily activities immediately after laser hair removal — there is no downtime. You may experience mild redness and tenderness in the treatment areas, but there are no harsh side effects. The results will gradually appear after 2 weeks when the new growth of hair will appear finer and sparser than before. You need to repeat the treatment after four to six weeks for optimal results — your skin will look more hair-free after each session.

Candidates for Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is an effective treatment for individuals who want to eliminate unwanted hair from various areas of the body. It works best for those who are seeking long-term hair reduction and are tired of the ongoing maintenance of shaving, waxing, or tweezing. The treatment is suitable for both men and women and can be performed on most areas of the body, including the legs, arms, face, bikini line, and underarms.
Fitzpatrick Skin Typing Test
(Based on Sun Exposure)
While the treatment is generally safe for most skin types, it’s important to understand that the effectiveness of laser hair removal can vary depending on your skin tone and hair color.
The Fitzpatrick scale classifies skin based on how it reacts to sun exposure:
Type I: Always burns, never tans; skin is very pale with freckles.
Type II: Usually burns, tans minimally; fair skin that burns easily.
Type III: Sometimes mild burn, tans uniformly; medium skin tone with some burning potential.
Type IV: Burns minimally, always tans well; moderate brown skin that rarely burns.
Type V: Very rarely burns, tans very easily; dark brown skin that tans easily.
Type VI: Never burns; deeply pigmented dark brown to darkest brown skin.
The Fitzpatrick skin typing test helps guide the selection of the appropriate laser technology for effective and safe hair removal, as different skin types respond differently to light-based treatments. At Skin Renew Day Spa & Laser Center, we conduct a thorough evaluation to determine your candidacy and ensure the best results based on your skin type and needs.

Is laser hair removal right for me?
