About Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal uses laser energy to reduce the density of hair growth in areas such as lip, chin, beard, underarms, bikini. Dark hair (i.e. not blonde or grey/white) responds best to lasers, but all skin colors can be treated. After a series of treatments, usually hair will no longer grow in the area, but for hair in a few different parts of the body you may need touch up treatments periodically to full hair clearance.
The areas to be treated should be clean-shaven, but not waxed, tweezed, or exposed to other forms of hair removal. After a cool gel is applied to the area, lasers are used to target unwanted hair. A quick, warm snapping sensation will be present and immediately cooled by the cooling tip of the device.
The skin may be pink with slight irritation and follicles may look bumpy after treatment. This usually resolves in a few hours after treatment. You should avoid the use of medicated skincare products, perfumes, deodorants, and body lotions for 12 hours after treatment. Shortly after, you will notice less hair growth in the area.
Treatments are repeated every 4-12 weeks, depending on the area of the body being treated. Treatment is complete in 6-12 treatments. Maintenance treatments may be necessary after several months, especially for hair that grows in response to hormonal signaling.
