Laser Hair Reduction has quickly become one of the most sought-after treatments among individuals looking for long-term smooth skin. It works by targeting pigment and damaging or destroying hair follicles to achieve this aim.
Snipping, waxing and other temporary methods of hair removal can be tedious, painful and harmful to the skin. Our laser treatments offer safe, effective and permanent solutions for creating beautiful results with lasting beauty and smooth skin.
Safe
An effective laser treatment in the hands of a qualified technician is crucial to its success. Unlike the home laser devices available online, medical-grade lasers must go through rigorous testing and licensing requirements in order to be used on patients safely. Your provider will numb the area to be treated using topical cream while wearing protective goggles to shield your eyes during treatment sessions; some areas of your body may require multiple sessions due to hair growth at various phases and overlap of hair follicles; discomfort from laser energy can feel similar to rubber band snap or momentary hot spot, though usually minor inconvenience; cooling gel may also be applied after treatments to soothe skin after treatments to relieve skin discomfort afterwards.
Most people can attain a hairless surface after six to eight treatments; this will depend on factors like skin color and density of their hair, as some areas are more sensitive than others to laser treatments; also some hair colors do not absorb laser energy as effectively.
Utilizing equipment tailored specifically for your hair and skin type is key in avoiding complications like burns, blisters or changes to pigmentation (hypo and hyperpigmentation). Two weeks before and after laser treatments it is wise to avoid sun or tanning bed exposure, while during your course of treatments try not to tweeze, wax shave or use bleach-based hair removal methods such as bleach or other chemical-based removal solutions like Tweezing wax shaving etc.

Effective
Unwanted hair can be safely and effectively eliminated with laser treatment, a non-invasive procedure using light to target melanin pigment in hair follicles. Once the energy has been converted to heat energy it damages tube-shaped sacs within your skin that produce hair production, effectively inhibiting its future growth. Hair does not fall out immediately but instead over a period of days to weeks until eventually it reappears finer and lighter in color; this process continues without needing to shave, wax, pluck, or undergo electrolysis treatments every year in order to maintain smooth skin.
Laser treatment can benefit a diverse clientele, including people with dark and light skin tones alike – both men and women alike can receive its advantages. For optimal results, multiple sessions at regular intervals should be scheduled. Prior to each appointment, all treatment areas must be shaved 24 hours in advance, no makeup, lotion or deodorant may be worn and on treatment day no makeup, lotion or deodorant may be worn; additionally it is wise to avoid spray tans and self-tanners as these products could compromise its efficacy.
Pain level during laser treatments varies for every person and depends on both their area being treated and individual tolerance for discomfort. Most patients find laser treatment very tolerable; often no numbing cream is required after treatments are finished. Some individuals may experience temporary skin irritation, redness or swelling which usually subsides within hours post-treatment.
One of the primary factors in determining whether a treatment will be successful is which laser will be utilized. It is crucial that your skin type be properly represented; otherwise, any incorrect settings could lead to scarring and changes to natural complexion.
While some lasers may work on tanned skin, they tend not to be as effective than those designed specifically for most people’s complexions. Furthermore, deep tanning hinders laser’s ability to accurately target hair pigment and may result in sub-par or even unsuccessful treatment results.
Comfortable
Laser hair removal provides an effective and painless solution to unwanted hair removal, without the risk of significant side effects. It’s a quick, painless procedure that’s more effective than shaving or waxing, eliminating ingrown hairs and razor bumps without harming skin in any way. Laser treatment is suitable for both men and women wanting to eliminate unsightly hair growth; most commonly treated areas include legs and armpits as many find it easier to wear sleeveless tops without worrying about unwanted underarm hair growth.
In order to maximize the results of laser hair reduction treatments, it’s essential that you properly prepare. Avoiding Nair or depilatory creams before your appointment as these may interfere with its effectiveness; shaving the day of treatment exposes roots of hair which the laser can then target; plucking, waxing or tweezing of areas should also be avoided to maximize results; tanning could also interfere with results.
Electrolysis may also provide permanent hair removal. A nurse will use a needle to pierce the follicle before applying a small electric current that destroys it, although this process may be more uncomfortable than laser treatments but still provide permanent results. When selecting an electrolysis provider for permanent hair removal it’s essential that they come recommended and that you ask about their qualifications prior to beginning their service.

Permanent
Unwanted hair is an issue for many individuals. People with thick, coarse locks can become disenchanted with shaving and waxing methods; those with lighter locks may become frustrated by regrowth issues. Luckily, laser hair removal offers effective solutions.
Laser energy reacts with melanin pigment found in hair to damage or destroy hair-producing cells and stop their unwanted growth. This method is precise; only targeting unwanted growth while leaving surrounding skin undisturbed – making this safe for use anywhere on your body such as face, underarms, bikini area and legs for this treatment option.
Before beginning laser treatment, the target area must be shaved to reduce the size of its hair shafts and any sunless tanning creams or sprays must be discontinued for at least 24 hours prior to your session.
After your treatment, it is normal to experience some initial discomfort, redness and swelling; these effects should dissipate within several hours. It’s essential that you follow your physician’s advice regarding post-treatment care as this will reduce any risk of side effects.
Laser treatments for hair reduction can be used on virtually every part of the body, with best results coming from treating areas with contrast in hair color between it and your skin color – dark hair on light skin works particularly well, however advances in technology enable treatment of all hair colors safely and effectively.
