can you do laser hair removal before a spray tan?

The best way to achieve a faux glow after undergoing laser hair removal is to visit a professional airbrush tanning studio. Spray-tanning in a booth and at-home faux tanning solutions require rubbing the solution into the skin for even coverage, which can cause irritation to the sensitive skin that has undergone laser hair removal. Airbrush tanning requires no rubbing, and can result in less irritation.

At an airbrush tanning studio, a technician fills the bottle of an airbrush gun with a tinted solution that contains dihydroxyacetone (DHA), which causes skin pigment to darken. Many studios offer a range of shades to give skin a customized tan. In a private room, a technician sprays solution directly onto bare skin. The solution absorbs into skin within 5 minutes, and does not need to be rubbed in. Skin is instantly darkened, and will deepen over time as the DHA sets.
