LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Frequently asked Questions

laser

Is there downtime?

No, laser hair removal generally does not require any real downtime. Immediately after having laser hair removal, your treated skin will be red and swollen. Despite this, most people return to their everyday activities.

When will I see the results after having laser hair removal?

You will likely see the results immediately after treatment. The results vary from patient to patient. The color and thickness of your hair, area treated, type of laser used, and color of your skin all affect the results. You can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment. To remove the hair, most patients need 6 to 8 laser treatments. After finishing the treatments, most patients do not see any hair on the treated skin for several months or even years. When the hair regrows, there tends to be less of it. The hairs also tend to be finer and lighter in color.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

For most people, laser hair removal does not hurt. However, it all depends on your threshold for pain. Most people say that it feels like snapping a rubber band against the skin. But if you’re overly sensitive to pain, you may experience some minor discomfort.

Can You Get Laser Hair Removal if You’re Pregnant?

It is best to play it safe and avoid laser hair removal while you’re pregnant. There is no evidence to suggest that it is unsafe, but there have not been long-term studies to analyze the effect of the laser on an unborn child.

How often do I need to come in for Laser Hair Removal to be effective?

Because of the hair growth cycle, laser hair removal must be done once per month to get optimal results. You will see some results with one treatment, but to truly permanently reduce the hair you must come in for 12-18 months. You will then require touch-up laser hair removal visits approximately twice per year to maintain your results.

What areas can be treated with Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal can be done on many parts of the body. For a list of commonly treated areas, please see on the page above.

Why Laser Hair Removal Is the Best Method

7 Proven Benefits

1. It is Quick ?

If it is a quick solution you are searching for, laser hair removal is the fastest way to get rid of unwanted hair.
You will have to have multiple treatment sessions, but most sessions only take a few minutes. The smaller the treatment area, the less time you will spend under the laser.

2. It is Less Painful Than Other Hair Removal Methods ?

Laser hair removal is a lot less painful than most people think. Many people equate it to the feeling of snapping a rubber band against the skin.
Depending on your threshold for pain, you may find it slightly uncomfortable, but the sessions are so fast that most people find it easy to endure.

3. It is Precise ?

Laser technology is incredibly precise, making laser hair removal ideal for people looking to target and remove a few specific hairs.
This makes it a great option, even if you are looking to remove small areas of hair from around the eyebrows, upper lip, nose, bikini line, or hairline.

4. It Can Remove Hair from Any Part of the Body ?

Except for the eyelashes, laser hair removal can be performed on any part of the body.
It is especially ideal for the back and bikini area, which can be hard to reach with razors and extremely painful to wax.

5. It Prevents Ingrown Hairs ?

Shaving of hair removal can cause ingrown hairs. If you are prone to ingrown hairs, laser hair removal is an excellent option.
By destroying the hair at the root, you will never have to worry about those pesky hairs growing back in or curling back into the body and becoming ingrown.

6. It Saves You from Having to Endure Regrowth ?

Some methods, such as waxing and plucking, require that you endure a bit of regrowth in between sessions. With laser hair removal, you can enjoy smooth, hair-free skin always.

7. It is a Long-Term Solution ?

Most people see permanent, lasting results with laser hair removal. In some cases, you may need a touch-up a few months or years down the line, but it remains one of the best long-term solutions available.
At minimum, you will see a permanent reduction in hair growth that becomes easier to maintain over time.
Because it is a long-term solution, it is also cost effective. Over the course of your lifetime, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars, as there will not be a need for monthly waxes or razor blade refills.
Keep in mind that while laser hair removal works on all different skin tones, it is most effective on people with light skin and dark hair. People with darker skin tones may experience temporary hyperpigmentation of the skin in the treated area.

To protect your unborn baby, wait until after you’ve given birth to begin laser hair removal treatment.
