Direct answer

Tell the clinic what you applied and whether it causes irritation, and confirm cleansing and post-treatment reuse instructions. Shaving cuts or stinging should be assessed before proceeding.

Before your consultation

  • Should product use be discussed before treatment?
  • What if I already applied deodorant today?
  • Should I ignore irritation from shaving?

General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.

Should product use be discussed before treatment?

Preparing for laser hair removal requires checking your current skin condition and the products you are using. Please tell us the actual product as ingredients and formulations may vary under the name of deodorant. Rather than an unconditional rule of resting for the same amount of time, guidance tailored to the treatment received and skin reaction is more important.

What if I already applied deodorant today?

Let your staff and medical staff know what products you applied and when so they know how to prepare. It is best not to irritate your skin by scrubbing yourself vigorously. Follow your institution's preparation instructions for what to do with any product remaining in the treatment area.

Should I ignore irritation from shaving?

Show me where the wound or redness is. Rather than repeating an additional shave on the same day just because hair removal is scheduled, you should have your skin condition checked. It's a good idea to ask if the scope or schedule of the treatment can be adjusted if necessary, and also explain your usual shaving tools and methods.

Can I immediately reuse deodorant after treatment?

Please check the timing of reuse according to your skin condition and instructions after treatment. Do not hold back by applying products with strong scents to the treatment area where there is burning. If you tell us in advance what your work needs are, it is a good idea to discuss possible management methods during the recovery period.

What should I record if a reaction develops?

Write down the time you used the product again and the time the stinging/rash started. If you experience blisters or worsening pain, you should contact your healthcare provider. Don't decide on your own whether it's a product reaction or a laser effect, but provide usage information and photos.

How should I prepare for an after-work appointment in downtown Daegu?

If you plan to go to Dongseong-ro hair removal directly from work in downtown Daegu, prepare information on the deodorant you will use that day. Check the official Apogee Plus treatment list for pre-cleaning and shaving instructions, and even ask questions about which products to use for the next day's work.
