Can you get Laser Hair Removal after a spray tan?

I understand that it is often difficult to do Laser Hair Removal on tanned skin in case of burns. I haven’t been able to go tanning in a long time, and I am quite pale. I was thinking of getting a spray tan, but I am worried that it will affect my next Laser treatment. Advice?

NO!

Okay… science answer:

You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage. The laser works by targeting dark color (the hair follicle) and passing through light color (the skin) the hair and skin have to be very different shades of color for the hair to work. The darker and coarser the hair and lighter the skin, the better results you will have.
