☀️ 1. Sunbeds darken and damage the skin
Sunbeds blast your skin with intense UVA/UVB, causing:
• more pigment
• dryness + inflammation
• DNA damage
• higher sensitivity
This makes your skin unsafe for laser.
⸻
🔥 2. Laser + tanned skin = bad combo
Laser targets pigment. When your skin is tanned, the laser can hit the skin instead of the hair, leading to:
❌ Burns — blistering, scarring, pigmentation
❌ Weaker results — more sessions, patchy areas, wasted money
⸻
🛑 3. No sunbeds around laser
Clinics advise:
• No sunbeds 4–6 weeks before
• No sunbeds 4–6 weeks after
• No fake tan
Skin must be calm and its natural tone.
⸻
🧪 4. Sunbeds age the skin — laser can make it worse
UV weakens collagen, elastin, and the skin barrier. Laser on stressed skin can cause:
• dark/white patches
• prolonged redness
• inflammation
⸻
❤️ Bottom line
Sunbeds + laser = unsafe, painful, and ineffective.
Laser works best on healthy, untanned skin for safe, smooth results.
