Laser Hair Removal can permanently reduce unwanted body hair, eliminating the need for shaving, tweezing, waxing or threading. With just 4-6 treatments you can expect significantly reduced hair growth with long-lasting effects.
Before and after laser hair removal sessions, make sure you avoid direct sunlight as any direct sun exposure could result in burns. Furthermore, avoid products like sunless tanner and moisturizer as these could interfere with treatment.
No Downtime
Laser hair removal does not involve downtime, which makes it a distinct advantage over other options like shaving and waxing, which typically require multiple sessions and ongoing maintenance to effectively rid oneself of unwanted hair. Meanwhile, waxing may lead to cuts, scrapes and inflamed bumps requiring further treatments in between sessions.

Before beginning any laser treatment, it is recommended to limit sun exposure and forgoing tanning or using sunless tanners to prevent pigment changes that may result from laser hair removal, including hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation as well as blistering, scarring, and other inflammatory responses. This will help avoid hyperpigmentation as well as hypopigmentation which could occur as well as blistering scarring reactions that could follow laser hair removal treatments.
Shaving is essential to ensure a successful treatment session; not only does this protect the roots of your hairs but it allows the laser to better target their follicles as well. Waxing and plucking unwanted hairs could interfere with treatment too!
Before your laser hair removal treatment begins, it’s wise to apply a topical anesthetic in order to make it as painless as possible. While some heat may be felt during sessions, most do not experience significant pain or discomfort from these procedures. Your technician will use a handheld device to place the laser against your skin where it will quickly and precisely target unwanted follicles for removal.
Treatment typically lasts 15-60 minutes, depending on the size and location of your target area. Once laser hair removal treatments have concluded, you can return to your daily activities and resume normal functioning; following each session your skin may temporarily become red and swollen before returning back to its usual appearance over the following hours or so.
Safe & Effective
Laser hair removal utilizes laser technology to target pigment in hair follicles and destroy it, thus stopping further unwanted hair production. According to Dr. Malik, laser hair removal is considered both safe and effective when performed by experienced dermatologists; though redness and swelling may occur around treated areas. These usually subside within one or three days without lingering effects. More serious side effects are uncommon but include skin darkening/lightening changes; herpes simplex infections; blistering; scarring may occur as well.
Laser hair removal offers several advantages. First of all, it can effectively eliminate unwanted body hair in just a few sessions and eliminate the need for shaving, tweezing or waxing. Furthermore, its long-term results mean you won’t have to worry about regrowth occurring at the same spot; additionally, laser treatment could save money over time by eliminating or decreasing your need for razors and shaving cream purchases.
As part of your preparation for laser hair removal, shaving the area you plan to treat at least 24 hours in advance is key for successful removal. Doing this ensures your laser has access to enough pigment in order to effectively target and eliminate unwanted hairs. Furthermore, plucked or waxed areas should also be avoided since this could compromise its ability to detect hair follicles effectively.
Before your laser hair removal treatment, if desired, numbing gel should be applied to the area where laser hair removal will take place. This will make your experience as comfortable as possible and helps avoid complications, such as skin discoloration or other unwanted side effects that could occur with prolonged sun exposure prior and post treatment.
