Laser Hair Removal Treatment And Process

Without a doubt, the vast majority of men and women who come to me want to get rid of unwanted hair.

Laser hair removal treatment continues to be the best non-invasive, aesthetic way to permanently reduce the appearance of those unwanted hairs.

During your laser hair removal process your laser technician will begin by doing a patch test 48 hours before your treatment. This test is used to determine if the test area exhibits an allergic reaction.

If everything is alright, you can start your first session. However, if your skin is extremely sensitive, you may need to wait two weeks before the treatment can begin.

On the day of your laser treatment, you will be asked to shave the area to be treated. If you don't want to shave yourself, ask the person carrying out the laser treatment to do it for you. Most clinics will charge for shaving!

You will be given a protective eye wear to be placed over your eyes and then a cooling gel will be applied over the area to be treated. You'll see a bright light and feel a slight prickling sensation on your skin, as well as some heat.

Relax, and don't worry! Most treatments don't take long and any tingly feeling goes away after a few moments.

Some average times for laser treatment include 20 minutes for the face and 10 minutes for the underarms.

For he Bikini it takes on average 15 minutes and for Legs and Back (where there's significantly more area) it takes 45 minutes to an hour.

On average, you'll probably need 6 to 12 treatments using the Laser. However the number of treatment may vary with your skin type, skin colour and hair growth.

The laser hair removal process does produce better results if your hair is really thick, because you'll see results more quickly than if your hair is fine. You'll probably need a session every 4-6 weeks, depending on your hair growth.

Your laser hair removal specialist will be able to assess how many treatments you'll most likely need when you see them at your first initial consultation.
