Make the consultation work for you
Decide which areas matter to you and what you want to change: less frequent shaving, less visible regrowth or a simpler routine. The consultation is where those goals are considered alongside your skin and hair. Booking a time does not automatically establish that laser treatment is suitable for you or for every area you are considering.
Write down practical questions as well. Which technology would be used, and why? How will progress be reviewed? What instructions will you receive? What might make treatment unsuitable or require a delay? Understanding the proposed approach before choosing a course of sessions is more useful than comparing an advertised price alone.
Share your current health and skincare information
Bring a list of medicines, supplements and products used on the area. Mention recent irritation, unusual scarring, cold sores, previous reactions to aesthetic treatment and relevant health changes. These details help a qualified provider decide whether you need medical advice, a different approach or a later appointment.
You do not need to know which ingredient might matter. Share the product name and how often you use it, then ask for guidance. Never stop a prescribed medicine just to keep an appointment. If something changes after your consultation, tell the provider before treatment, even when it seems unrelated. An earlier assessment cannot account for a new prescription or a recent skin reaction.
Discuss sun exposure and tanning honestly
Include recent travel, outdoor work or sports, tanning beds and self-tanning products in the conversation. Skin that looks close to its usual colour may still need reassessment. Your natural skin tone and a recent tan are separate considerations, both relevant to the choice of method and timing.
Ask what sun protection is needed and for how long. Broad-spectrum sunscreen and protective clothing may be part of the instructions. Avoid planning a treatment immediately before a sunny holiday without discussing it first. Working these details into your calendar is particularly helpful for exposed areas such as the legs, arms and face, and prevents unnecessary travel for a postponed session.
Your situation deserves a specific answer.
Let’s discuss the area you have in mind and what to clarify before getting started.

Shaving and pulling hair from the root prepare the area differently. Waxing, tweezing and epilators remove the hair from the root; ask when to pause them before light-based treatment. Also confirm exactly when to shave. A general online timeline may not suit your skin, the body area or the technology being considered.
Ask which cosmetics to use or leave off on appointment day, especially for underarms and facial areas. If shaving causes cuts or substantial irritation, report it instead of repeatedly going over the skin. Wear clothing that allows comfortable access to the agreed area. Bring the information requested at booking so the conversation can focus on any changes rather than reconstructing your routine.
Plan the days around the appointment
Look beyond the appointment time when checking your calendar. Exercise, swimming, sauna visits, travel, major events and other skin treatments may need discussion. Whether an activity or product should be paused depends on the procedure, skin response and instructions you receive. Resolve those questions beforehand so the aftercare fits your actual week.
Keep a short record of the planned area, preparation instructions and contact number for questions. You do not need an elaborate checklist; clear notes are enough. To arrange your first conversation in Chomedey, call 514-726-2753. Discuss your goals and confirm practical details before travelling from elsewhere in Laval or the Montréal area.
Your questions
Should I shave before a consultation?
Ask when you book. Seeing the colour, density and thickness of your hair may help with assessment. Instructions for an initial consultation can differ from preparation for an actual treatment session, so avoid assuming they are interchangeable.
Can I keep my appointment after a sunny vacation?
Report recent exposure and any tan before attending. The decision depends on your skin and the proposed method. A delay may be needed. Having a date in the calendar does not replace checking that the timing is appropriate.
Do I need to stop my medication?
Do not stop prescribed medication without advice from the prescriber. Share the full list of medicines and supplements with the person assessing you. They may need medical input or a different appointment schedule before considering treatment.
Can several areas be treated at my first appointment?
That depends on assessment, available appointment time and the services offered. Different areas may need different considerations. Explain your priorities when you make contact, then confirm what is actually planned rather than assuming a full treatment will happen immediately.
