Laser Hair Removal: How Soon Before an Event Should You Start?
By Dr. Keerthana Kalva | Dermatology & Aesthetic Expert | Hyderabad
Got a wedding, vacation, or big celebration coming up? Laser hair removal might just be your secret weapon for glowing, fuzz-free skin — but timing matters! Many people start too close to their event and don’t get the full benefits in time. Let’s break it down so you can plan smartly.
Ideal Timeline Before an Event
Laser hair removal isn’t an instant fix — it’s a gradual process. You’ll usually need around 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. That means it’s best to start at least 3–4 months before your event for noticeable results.
- 1st to 3rd session – Reduces major hair growth
- 4th to 6th session – Slows down regrowth
- Maintenance – Keeps skin smooth and even
Pre-Treatment Tips
Follow these before your session to get the best and safest outcome:
Avoid sun exposure for 1–2 weeks before treatment to prevent irritation.
Shave before your session — it helps the laser target the follicles better.
Moisturize well and skip harsh exfoliants before your appointment.
What Results to Expect
After the first couple of sessions, you’ll notice slower regrowth and finer hair texture. With every visit, your skin looks and feels smoother — ready for that big event glow!
Most patients report long-lasting results with minimal maintenance once they’ve completed all sessions.
