Are you tired of dealing with fast regrowth and ingrown hairs after shaving regularly? Laser hair removal could provide an effective, safe solution.
Heat from laser light destroys hair follicles to prevent their regrowth; however, due to hair cycle rest periods you may require multiple treatments in order to achieve full results.
The Bikini Line and Pubic Area
Laser hair removal can help achieve any look you desire for your pubic area – be it lightly trimmed or completely hair-free – regardless of your desired look. Furthermore, this treatment is great for women suffering from painful ingrown hairs in the bikini line that cause redness and irritation.
Laser hair removal treatments are safe and effective treatments suitable for all skin types and colors, and less painful than waxing and shaving. If discomfort arises during treatment, topical anesthetic can be applied prior to their appointment; additionally, technicians trained and experienced in performing laser hair removal treatments strive to make each session as pleasant and painless as possible.
Before receiving laser treatments on the bikini area, all clothing should be removed below waist level and a gel will be applied to protect your skin and make the laser more effective. Once this process has taken place, you may feel tingling sensations as the laser targets and destroys unwanted hairs – once treatment has finished you may get dressed again!
Bikini lines, as the name suggests, refer to an area from the lower abdomen to buttocks that is often targeted for laser hair removal due to unsightly or embarrassing growth of body hair in this part. Since hair tends to develop darker strands on this area, laser hair removal techniques make quick work of getting rid of unwanted bikini line hairs.
For optimal laser treatments to work effectively and achieve hairless surfaces, it’s crucial to stop waxing or shaving in the area where laser treatments will take place. In order for lasers to effectively work on anagen-stage hairs (growth phase), use sunscreen before and after each laser session as well as refrain from exposure to direct sunlight in that location.
Armpit hair removal is often top priority due to their visibility when wearing clothing, making shaving and waxing difficult and potentially painful tasks. Laser hair removal offers a fast, painless solution as it’s one of the fastest methods available to remove unwanted hair.
The Arms
Laser treatment for full or partial arm hair removal can give you smooth skin and self-confidence you desire. No more having to shave or wax daily or manage painful ingrown hairs; plus you won’t have to deal with unsightly stubble caused by shaving and waxing – giving you freedom from worrying about unwanted arm hair showing in short-sleeved tops!
At the start of your treatment session, a topical anesthetic may be applied to reduce discomfort. After that, a technician will use a handheld device to move over all areas to be treated, targeting hair growth areas by destroying their follicles so they cannot come back. The number of sessions necessary depends on both your hair thickness and color as well as skin density.
Before your laser treatment appointment, it is wise to stop shaving and waxing for at least six weeks prior to stopping use of light tanners, tanning beds or any other sources that produce light rays that could interfere with its efficacy.
Your skin may experience reddening, swelling and itching following your session; these side effects are normal and should subside within hours or days. A cold compress may help reduce any discomfort experienced from these effects.
Before your next appointment, it is recommended that you exfoliate the area to remove dead skin cells or product build-up that could block laser light from reaching your hair follicles and cause ingrown hairs to form. It’s also a good idea to bring along a towel so you can cover yourself if you become cold afterward.
After your session, it is best to avoid direct sunlight since your skin will be particularly delicate. Incorporating broad spectrum sunscreen protection with every outdoor activity will also provide UVA/UVB ray protection. If you have any inquiries regarding aftercare for your session, speak with the technician who administered your treatment – they should be able to answer all of your queries and give clear instructions on how to care for your skin in between appointments.
The Legs
Shaving their legs is often a tedious and time-consuming task that is tediously routine. If you want an alternative solution to shaving and waxing appointments, laser hair removal could be the ideal answer for you. Laser treatments are more cost-effective and safer for skin than their counterparts (which may lead to burns or scarring).
If you’re considering laser hair removal for your legs, the good news is that it is safe and suitable for all skin tones. To minimize discomfort during treatment, it is advisable to purchase over-the-counter topical numbing cream beforehand.
CoolGlide machines use laser hair removal technology that delivers wavelengths of light energy into your skin, where pigmented hair absorbs it and eventually self-destructs. Inactive growth phases will see hairs return lighter and thinner over time.
At our laser hair removal practice, we utilize two machines designed to make laser hair removal as comfortable and painless for our clients as possible. Our GentleMax Pro laser is ideal for dark skin tones as it uses Nd:YAG and Alexandrite technology without altering its tone.
Whenever considering laser hair removal for legs, it’s best to refrain from waxing or plucking for six weeks prior to scheduling an appointment. As waxing strips away skin that covers up the hair follicles and hinders lasers from targeting specific hairs that need to be eliminated.
Most people opt to have both legs treated during a laser hair removal session; however, you can also choose to have half-legs done or just knees treated. We suggest setting aside at least an hour for each laser session so as to minimize rush and anxiety during your appointments and maximize enjoyment after they’re completed.
The Face
Laser hair removal has long been one of the top body beauty treatments, yet only recently has it gained immense popularity among both men and women alike. People want a permanent solution to remove unsightly (and often itchy) hair on their arms, legs, chest, back and face without shaving or waxing being required; laser hair removal offers this.
Most patients find the procedure painless. Although some may report feeling something similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin for a momentary moment. People with sensitive skin may require using numbing cream prior to receiving treatment.
Before your laser hair removal treatment begins, a technician will assess both your skin and hair type to see if you qualify. Furthermore, in the weeks leading up to your session you must refrain from activities like tanning and sun exposure that increase tanning, since naturally or artificially tanned skin can compromise its effectiveness during laser hair removal sessions.
Once you become a patient, a laser specialist will apply some numbing cream and perform your treatment. Protective goggles must be worn so the laser doesn’t harm your eyes and may require multiple sessions in order to effectively rid you of all unwanted hair on your body.
Laser hair removal sessions vary depending on each patient, but for optimal results you’ll typically require six sessions over an eight-month period. This way, the laser can target every hair follicle and prevent its future growth – an important consideration as hair grows back in cycles. After your six treatments have been completed you will no longer require costly razors or waxing methods! Many consider this an investment that will save money in the long run!
