What is Laser Hair Removal?
This laser technology targets and destroys hair cells responsible for hair growth on the face and body, without harming the surrounding skin. You can expect to see a gradual decrease in the hair thickness and the amount of hair within the treated area(s). Since this treatment only targets hair in the active phase of growth, multiple treatments are often needed. It is important that your skin not be exposed to the sun for six week prior to and after treatment.
What can you expect before and after treatment?
Results vary from person to person. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be necessary. It takes time to see results. Follow-up treatments may be necessary. Good skin care helps deliver the best results.
The intensity and duration of your side effects depend on the treatment’s aggressiveness and your body’s individual healing characteristics.
- The sensation of light is sometimes uncomfortable and may feel like a moderate to severe pinprick or flash of heat.
- Mild swelling and/or redness may accompany this procedure, but it is usually resolved within one to two days.
- Do not be alarmed if you experience bumps in the treated area, as this is normal and will resolve within a few days.
- Laser hair removal is permanent on most areas of the body. Due to hormones, it may not be permanent on a woman’s face.
