Laser treatment for unwanted hair is a non-invasive approach to permanent reduction and long-term hair removal. Laser Hair Removal treatments are specially designed to safely eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. The laser affects hair follicles only when they are in the growth phase, because of this, more than one Laser Hair Removal treatment will be necessary to disable hair follicles that subsequently enter the growth phase. During your Laser Hair Removal consultation, you will be advised as to the approximate number of treatments necessary for optimum results.
How does Laser Hair Removal work?
The Laser Hair Removal system emits near-infrared laser light that is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system's unique, patented contact-cooling hand piece, helps protect the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy delivery.
What do Laser Hair Removal treatments feel like?
The Laser Hair Removal hand piece cools and soothes as it glides along your skin. When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. No local anesthetic or pain medication is typically required; however, some clients may prefer to use a topical anesthetic when sensitive areas are treated.
What happens after Laser Hair Removal treatment?
Following Laser Hair Removal treatments, you can return to your normal activities right away, but the treated area may appear a bit red and swollen. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun. In addition, your cosmetic professional may recommend that you use a specially formulated skin care product line or prescribe a skin care regimen especially formulated for your skin type. 3-7 days after treatment you may experience what seems to be regrowth of hair. Actually, most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment and are not regrowing. Between treatments you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave.
What are the possible side effects of Laser Hair Removal?
Although patients experience few side effects with Laser Hair Removal, the most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to sunburn. These effects typically last for several hours or less. In rare instances, blistering may occur. Consult with your cosmetic professional for complete information on the benefits and risks of this treatment.
What areas can be treated with Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal can remove hair from all parts of the body including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and back. It can also treat sensitive areas like the chest, nipples, and bikini line.
How many Laser Hair Removal treatments will I need?
Most areas require 8-12 treatments; however, the number of Laser Hair Removal treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple factors: hair thickness, the area treated and your hair's growth cycle. Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time and actually go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. Laser Hair Removal works by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in any given area.
Does Laser Hair Removal work on tanned/different skin colors?
Your skin type will be assessed to determine if you are a suitable candidate for Laser Hair Removal treatments. You must not tan 2 weeks prior to initial treatment in between treatments, or for 2 weeks after final treatment.Services: Unfortunately, for spa services we cannot accept any refund request, all services (includes spa packages) purchased, booked or completed services are final and non-refundable.
