Laser hair removal is a safe and efficient method for eliminating unwanted body hair. It saves both time and money by eliminating the need to shave, wax or use depilatory creams to achieve hair reduction.
Before beginning laser treatment, we apply a topical anesthetic to help ease discomfort. When the pulsed light hits your skin it feels similar to elastic band snapping against its elastic cover.
The length of your hair growth cycle
Laser hair removal can reduce time and effort spent shaving, waxing or using depilatory creams on your skin. But it takes multiple sessions before seeing results that last permanently due to how hair grows in cycles; laser technology only targets active growth phases (anagen phase); any hairs in their telogen or catagen phases will not be targeted by laser and therefore won’t be removed by this means.
At first, when beginning laser hair removal treatment, most of your body’s hair will be in its anagen phase. Over time, less frequent regrowth occurs until all unwanted hair has been eradicated completely or only finer and lighter versions remain. Some may still remain in telogen or catagen phases but these will have significantly thinner shafts.
Your skin tone also plays a key role in your hair removal results, with very light complexions often needing additional sessions than those with darker complexions due to laser technology’s need to detect melanin pigment in hair so as to target it effectively.
Prior to receiving laser treatments, it is crucial that you refrain from activities which cause hair follicles to be targeted more successfully, such as tweezing and waxing, which could hinder laser targeting of hair follicles and delay or compromise the outcomes of treatment. Furthermore, avoid sunbathing before your appointment while applying sunscreen with at least 30SPF protection.
Laser hair removal treatments vary between individuals; most can achieve long-term results after four to six sessions of initial laser hair removal treatment. If desired, maintenance treatments can also be undertaken once or twice each year to keep skin hair-free for life – so that more time can be spent doing what matters to you instead of shaving and waxing!
Your skin tone
Laser treatments offer an alternative hair removal method that’s safe, non-irritating and permanent compared to methods like shaving, waxing, threading and depilatory creams. Results typically appear within 4-6 treatment sessions as melanin in your hair is targeted and converted to heat which then destroys its source follicle and stops producing unwanted hair growth.
Before your laser hair removal session, it’s essential that you avoid tanning or waxing the area being treated, as laser treatment relies on pigmentation in your follicles to work effectively. If you regularly shave those areas prior to laser therapy sessions, make sure that at least 24 hours prior you shave so the laser can target active hair follicles more effectively.
Consider Your Skin Tone in Order to Determine Laser Treatment Needs There are three basic skin tones, warm, cool and neutral; those who fall under warmer undertones have yellow, peach or golden skin with green-hazel or amber eyes as well as brown or gold hair with reddish tones; people who have cooler undertones typically possess pink-tinged skin with more of a paler complexion.
Laser treatments not only eliminate unwanted hair but can also remove skin tags, moles, or keratosis on your body and face. Furthermore, it may reduce both intensity and length of snores through laser therapy treatments.
Laser treatments offer the most efficient and permanent way to remove unwanted facial and body hair, without the complications that shaving, waxing or depilatory creams cause such as razor burn, ingrown hairs, rashes or redness. Furthermore, these laser hair removal treatments tend to be much less painful than their counterparts.
Laser treatments for unwanted hair can restore your self-esteem. By eliminating hairs that cause friction in your bikini area or require touch ups before heading to the beach, laser treatment allows you to wear bikinis and other swimwear without worrying about missing spots or touching-ups beforehand.
Your hair type
Color can have a huge influence on how long and many sessions of laser treatments you need, as well as on whether they will bring you desired results. Laser hair removal often works better when used on darker hair since its contrast makes it easier for the laser beam to hit its target; additionally, darker locks grow back less often compared to their lighter counterparts; so less treatments sessions may be required in order to reach desired goals.
Laser treatments offer an efficient solution to shaving, waxing, or using depilatory creams; saving both time and money while increasing confidence when stubble appears unexpectedly. But keep in mind that laser treatment isn’t a permanent fix – initial sessions will likely need to be repeated occasionally to maintain smooth hairless skin.
Your treatment will be administered by a trained specialist who will use a handheld laser instrument against your skin, depending on your comfort level and needs. The tool may feature cooling pads or cool gel at its tip to provide comfort and avoid discomfort. Over the course of a few minutes, the laser beam will penetrate through to reach hair follicles below, heating them up so much they close off, stopping production altogether.
Laser treatments typically occur over six sessions spaced out four to eight weeks apart, although this number should only serve as an average estimate and that individual needs will differ. At Xanadu Med Spa we will give a more precise estimation during your free consultation how many laser treatment sessions may be required.

Your hair density
Laser hair removal can be an excellent way to permanently get rid of unwanted body and facial hair. In just a few sessions, laser hair removal can free you from shaving, waxing and plucking for good – as well as saving time by eliminating regular depilatory cream appointments or shaving sessions. Depending on the area and density of hair growth on your body, immediate results could require anywhere between 4-6 sessions for immediate results.
At the start of a laser treatment session, your doctor will press a hand-held laser instrument against your skin. Generally, its tip contains a cooling device or gel to protect the surface of your skin and minimize side effects. Once activated, the light beam from the laser travels directly toward your hair follicles; its intense heat damages these follicles to stop future hair production and damage prevention.
Your doctor can give you an estimate for how many treatment sessions may be needed, although each session itself should be quick and virtually painless. Expect some hair fallout after your initial session as this is a sure sign that the laser treatment has damaged some follicles.
After your initial laser hair removal sessions, only occasional touch-up sessions will be necessary in order to maintain smooth skin. This saves significant time when compared with shaving or using depilatory creams every day!
People tend to hesitate before undertaking laser hair removal because of concerns regarding how long it will take them to see results. But rest assured: You should experience significant hair reduction within six treatment sessions! How often you need treatments will depend on a number of factors such as hormone-affected areas of your body.
