Many women and men struggle with excess hair on their legs, arms, back, chest, or intimate areas. While shaving and depilatory creams leave skin feeling rough after use, laser hair removal provides silky-smooth results for lasting relief.
So how long should one wait between laser hair removal treatments? Dr. Green in NYC will assist in organizing sessions at optimal intervals to achieve permanent hair reduction.
Face & Neck
Are you sick and tired of constantly having to shave away stubble or dealing with 5 o’clock shadow? Laser hair removal could be your answer to permanently eliminating facial and neck hair. This quick and painless treatment targets dark pigment hair at its roots, dissolving them on contact. Ideal for women who wish to rid themselves of facial hair on chin, cheeks, jawline or jawline or men looking for permanent removal of beard and neckline hair, laser treatment provides permanent solutions.
Prior to your session, it is necessary to shave the area being treated in order to provide sufficient hair length for the laser to recognize and grab onto. We suggest shaving 24 hours in advance with a new razor that has not been shared with others; waxing and plucking should also be avoided as these methods remove hair follicles which could hinder laser treatments. Finally, protect yourself from sunlight by wearing sunscreen with an SPF rating of at least 30 and staying away from tanning beds.
Once your session begins, your technician will secure goggles to prevent laser light from touching your eyes and may apply topical numbing gel. Next, they’ll use a laser beam to treat all areas. Depending on its size and duration, treatment could last anywhere between 20 minutes to one hour.
After your session, it is common to experience redness or swelling in the area that was treated – this is completely normal and should dissipate within an hour or two as hair falls out from its follicles. Remember that laser hair removal only impacts hair follicles during their growth phase so multiple sessions may be required in order to achieve your desired results.
Average results require six to eight treatment sessions at Renew Esthetics and Med Spa; however, every body differs and may need more or fewer. You’ll only know how many you require after having an initial consultation at the spa. So if you want to say goodbye to unwanted facial and neck hair once and for all, schedule your consultation at Renew today.
Underarms
Most men and women require six to eight laser hair removal sessions spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results, but due to how hair grows in cycles, touch-up treatments may still be necessary if new growth appears underarms area – often seen during times of hormonal fluctuations such as pregnancy.
Contrary to other hair removal methods such as waxing, threading and creams, laser treatments are completely safe for all skin types. At Cynosure Elite Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers we can safely eliminate unwanted hair from any part of the body using Cynosure Elite Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers; for those with sensitive skin we may offer additional solutions such as topical numbing cream prior to their appointment to reduce discomfort and give more comfortable experience – most patients compare laser hair removal treatment like rubber bands flicking against their skin compared to waxing or threading which causes discomfort compared to others methods like waxing, threading or creams alone – unlike these methods that often results in similar feeling like rubber bands flicking against their skin when receiving laser hair removal treatments; most patients describe laser hair removal treatment as similar sensation to rubber bands flicking against their skin during treatment!
Before your laser hair removal session, you will want to shave the area to ensure that unwanted hairs are at an appropriate length for treatment. In addition, any other forms of hair removal such as plucking or waxing should be avoided at least four weeks prior to your appointment to prevent interference with hair follicles during treatment.
After receiving laser treatment, it is advisable to stay out of direct sunlight for at least three days both prior and following, in order to protect the surface of your skin from sun damage. Furthermore, any products which darken skin tone could reduce effectiveness of treatment with laser.
Alcohol should be consumed at least 24 hours prior to your laser hair removal appointment in order to minimize redness and swelling in the treatment area. Furthermore, makeup, lotions or deodorant should not be applied directly onto this area until after your appointment has concluded.
Results of laser hair removal treatments depend on your hormones and individual hair growth cycle, so it’s crucial to follow all instructions given by your dermatologist pre and post treatment. Also note that stubble (representing dead follicles) will appear five to thirty days post laser treatment; this is normal and will dissipate quickly with exfoliation.
Bikini Line
Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution to unwanted body hair, including in the bikini area. While shaving and waxing may lead to ingrown hairs, razor burn, and folliculitis (irritation caused by hair growing back into the skin), laser treatment permanently removes unwanted follicles in active growth phase; results typically last without needing maintenance treatments for years after initial treatments are administered.
Laser treatments for hair removal work well for most skin colors and shades as well as all ages; they are not advised for pregnant women or people with dark tattoos as the pigmentation may be affected. Patients may experience slight discomfort during a treatment session as laser pulses are administered; however, our practitioners employ cooling technology to limit discomfort levels.
At your free consultation, we will take the time to answer any questions about your treatment sessions and advise any necessary preparations to help ensure optimal results for you. For instance, we advise clients avoiding using scented lotions or products on their skin prior to and following laser therapy treatment; also swimming or tanning in the area after treatment are best avoided.
Maintaining an ideal beach bod involves regular bikini waxing or shaving; however, the tedious and time-consuming upkeep may become tiresome over time. By opting for Brazilian or bikini line hair removal instead, you can achieve silky-smooth skin while spending more time enjoying South Florida’s sunny weather!
Brazilian hair removal covers the entirety of the genital region, while bikini line treatment typically limits itself to areas that can be seen beneath clothing, such as panty lines. Many women choose to keep some landing strip or perianal hair in place during treatment, which we are more than happy to accommodate.
From classic bikinis to more daring styles, our trained professionals can help you realize the look that best suits you. Reach out now to arrange your free, no-pressure laser hair removal consultation and get started on creating the look of your dreams!
Full Body
Laser hair removal could be the perfect solution if you have unwanted hair on your legs, armpits, back or bikini line. To find out if laser hair removal is right for you, schedule a free consultation where we will address your concerns and address any queries about laser hair removal as well as provide an estimate for how many treatments it will take to reach the results that are important to you.
To achieve optimal results, for optimal laser treatments you should come for sessions every 4-6 weeks. Your body will start to shed unwanted hair during this period; even though it may seem as though new growth has appeared during that time frame; actually it is actually just remaining hair follicles from prior treatments breaking through and falling out.
Your treatments must also avoid waxing and plucking hair as these methods remove an entire hair strand, rendering treatments less effective. Furthermore, spray tans and self-tanners should be used with caution for at least a month prior to appointments as these may darken skin tone and interfere with laser’s ability to target pigment in hair follicles. Shaving is recommended on appointment day as it leaves a clear target area making it easier to detect additional hair follicles that need addressing.
Laser hair removal offers a more permanent solution for unwanted hair growth than shaving or waxing, heating up pigment in hair follicles to stop their continued production of new strands of hair growth. Unfortunately, as your follicles may still be active in their growth phase multiple treatments may be required before all your unwanted follicles have been completely deactivated and you are left hair free.
