Hi I am getting laser hair removal done on my face and have been told that on the day of the session not to wear any sunscreen on my face, but isn't that going to be dangerous for my skin as I will be traveling to the Clinic without any sunscreen on?????????.

I have been wearing sunscreen on everyday because i don't want any discoloration. can you please let me know thanks.

Reply We normally don’t advice to wear sun cream on the day of the laser treatment because it can reflect the laser beam.

If you are really concerned coming to the clinic in the sun you could wear it but ask the therapist carrying out your treatment to give you a good cleanse.

As long as you are not in the sun bathing and lying there exposing your skin for hours on end, 5 or 10 minutes in the sun without sun cream is not going to make that much of a difference.

For your information most clients don’t wear sun cream on the day of the treatment.
