What to Expect

Before Your Treatment

  • Consultation: Your journey begins with a complimentary consultation where our experts assess your skin and hair type to create a personalized treatment plan.
  • Preparation: Avoid plucking, waxing, or electrolysis for six weeks before your treatment. Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your appointment to ensure the laser targets the hair follicles effectively.
  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds for at least two weeks before your session. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen if you must be outdoors.

During Your Treatment

  • Protective Measures: You will be given protective goggles to wear during the procedure to shield your eyes from the laser.
  • Numbing Gel: A numbing gel may be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort, especially for sensitive areas.
  • Laser Application: The laser device will be adjusted to your skin type and hair color. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that targets the hair follicles, causing them to heat up and inhibit future hair growth.
  • Sensations: You may feel a warm pinprick or a sensation similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin. The treatment duration varies depending on the size of the area being treated, from a few minutes for small areas like the upper lip to over an hour for larger areas like the back.

After Your Treatment

  • Immediate Effects: Expect some redness and swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within a few hours to a day.
  • Cool Compresses: Apply cool compresses or aloe vera gel to soothe the treated area and reduce any discomfort.
  • Avoid Sun Exposure: Continue to avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least a month after your treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
  • No Hot Showers or Saunas: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation.
  • Hair Shedding: You will notice hair shedding in the treated area within a week. This is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Avoid plucking or waxing the shedding hair. 

Results and Follow-Up

  • Multiple Sessions: Most patients require 2 to 6 sessions for optimal results, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart, depending on the area treated and the hair growth cycle.
  • Long-Term Results: You can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first session. With each subsequent treatment, hair growth will be finer and lighter.
  • Maintenance: Some patients may need occasional maintenance treatments to maintain smooth, hair-free skin.

Safety and Side Effects

  • Common Side Effects: Minor side effects like redness, swelling, and discomfort are common and typically resolve within a few days.
  • Rare Side Effects: Blistering, scarring, or changes in skin color are rare but possible. Ensure treatments are performed by skilled professionals to minimize risks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The laser technologies which we use at our medspa include IPL (intense pulsed laser and the 1064NM long pulsed laser. We choose the laser technology after careful examination of your skin type, treatment area and hair type.

During the treatment sessions, your hair follicles are going through an active growth cycle at different times. Therefore, we recommend you take multiple treatment sessions for optimal results. Generally, 4-6 laser treatment sessions deliver optimal outcomes. However, there are other factors such as the thickness of your hair, the growth cycle of hair and the area of your body being treated, which impact the number of treatment sessions required to achieve optimal results.  Remember, no treatment for hair removal delivers 100% results. But from our laser hair removal treatment, you can expect a 90% reduction in your unwanted hair. 

You may experience a few temporary side effects including irritation, mild redness and swelling in the areas treated with laser. However, these will subside in a few hours. 

The answer to how many sessions isn't specific. Most people need 4-6 laser sessions to achieve noticeable results. But depending on the thickness of your hair, hair growth cycle and area of treatment, this can vary.

The results of laser hair removal can last for several months up to a year after you complete your treatment sessions.
