Shaving, waxing and plucking can be time-consuming and inconvenient methods of temporary hair removal. If these methods no longer meet your needs, laser treatment could be the ideal way to eliminate unwanted hair permanently.
Laser hair removal works by disabling hair follicles so they cannot produce hair growth, saving both money and time by treating multiple areas simultaneously. If purchasing a full body package will save both, time and money are both conserved by treating multiple parts at once.
The Cost
Laser hair removal could be just what’s needed to rid yourself of unwanted body hair – and make you look your best! It offers permanent relief over temporary methods like shaving, depilatory creams and waxing – not to mention it’s much less painful!
One of the key factors affecting laser hair removal costs is the size of the area being treated. More sessions may be necessary, which quickly add up; thus, some clinics offer packages combining multiple sessions.
Color may also play an impactful role when considering laser hair removal costs, with darker-shaded locks taking longer to respond and increasing costs while lighter hair typically responds well.
Before beginning laser hair removal sessions, it’s essential to properly prepare the area. This includes refraining from tanning or sunbathing for one week prior to treatment, as well as trimming any loose hairs from the area and not using products which may make the skin sensitive to light.
Laser hair removal begins with a consultation. Following that, a specialist will apply topical numbing cream before beginning. You’ll sit comfortably while they use handheld laser devices to gently extract your hair – generally painlessly although you might hear an audible “click.”
Laser hair removal jobs can be found in various settings, from spas and salons to hotels and gyms. Demand for technicians in this field is projected to rise 14% between 2012-2022; however, before entering this profession you must undergo a certified training program for laser technicians to acquire all of the skills and procedures needed for success in this industry.
The Area
Laser hair removal offers permanent solutions. It works by using pulses of laser light to destroy hair follicles; therefore when you shave or wax an area treated with laser light, no hairs will grow back despite shaving or waxing it off; however, treatment might require multiple sessions in order for optimal results to be seen.
At first glance, it may appear as though everyone’s hair growth rates differ. At a consultation appointment with your specialist, they’ll evaluate both your skin type and rate of hair growth before suggesting a series of treatments; typically 4-6 treatment sessions over time at regular intervals are necessary in order to keep unwanted hairs from coming back. Touch-up treatments should be scheduled annually after removal is complete for optimal results.
Before beginning the procedure, you’ll first need to shave and wear goggles in order to protect your eyes. Your practitioner will then apply a cool gel or cooling air spray onto the surface of your skin in order to ease any discomfort during your session.
People generally report laser hair removal being relatively painless; however, some individuals can find the process uncomfortable. Your provider should assess your individual pain threshold. If necessary, an OTC numbing cream or even an ice pack may help relieve discomfort before your treatment session.
Laser hair removal is generally safe for most skin types; however, people with dark or blonde hair should be wary of choosing it, as the laser’s wavelengths could cause pigmentation issues in those areas of their skin.
Laser hair removal offers an effective alternative to painful and time-consuming methods of eliminating unwanted hair. Traditional methods, like tweezing, shaving and using depilatory creams are costly, ineffective and can even irritate skin – however with Cynosure Elite Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers men and women with all skin types can experience permanent smooth hair reduction – however it may require multiple sessions in order to reach desired hair reduction; but it’s a small price to pay in return for never having to shave or wax!
The Treatment
Are you fed up with shaving, waxing and tweezing, but still want permanent reduction of unwanted hair in your face and body? Laser hair removal could be your answer – an effective and non-invasive solution to permanent reduction of unwanted body hair including lips and bikini lines. Unlike creams or shaving methods that only temporarily work, laser treatments target and destroy cells responsible for hair growth – plus, they’re FDA-cleared and safe for all skin types!
Laser treatments only last a fraction of a second and treat multiple hairs simultaneously for long-term hair-free skin – many patients experiencing permanent reduction after just a few sessions!
As part of your treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to help minimize discomfort before the laser technician applies the laser directly onto your skin. For optimal results, sun exposure or tanning should be avoided in the weeks prior to having treatment done; similarly, skincare products with retinol or glycolic acid could make your skin sensitive to light and make treatments less effective.
Once applied to your skin, laser hair removal begins almost instantly. A pulse of light from the laser hits individual follicles and destroys them; most patients find the procedure relatively painless; only side effects include redness or irritation which usually subside within an hour after their session.
Laser hair removal can be highly effective for treating unwanted hair in multiple areas, including the back, chest, shoulders, underarms, bikini line and underarms. Not only can laser hair removal reduce unwanted hair appearance but it can also reduce ingrown hairs and prevent razor burn.
Laser hair removal offers an effective long-term solution to unwanted hair growth. After just a few sessions, it will become permanent; thus allowing you to ditch razors and waxing kits forever! So if you want smooth, silky skin instead of unsightly stubble, book an appointment for laser hair removal today and say goodbye to unsightly stubble!
The Time
Laser hair removal is a safe, permanent hair-reduction procedure that uses light energy to destroy hair follicles. As light passes through pigmented hairs, its energy absorbs by them and converts to heat energy that damages cells that grow hair, thus stopping production altogether. Once hair falls out on its own, it won’t grow back and you will enjoy silky smooth skin! Laser hair removal offers great alternatives to shaving or waxing that save both time and money long term; leave yourself hair-free skin!
Laser hair removal requires an experienced technician and device that emits targeted bursts of light energy to the skin in small, pinpointed bursts. Each treatment typically lasts 5-25 minutes depending on the area being treated; multiple sessions may be necessary in order to achieve maximum results, which is why we suggest purchasing our full body package of five to six sessions.
Becoming a certified laser hair removal technician requires receiving training that will teach you how to operate the device safely and effectively. Many schools provide certificate or associate degree options; others also offer professional certification that adds credibility to your skillset. Licensing requirements vary by state; typically though, most require that a medical director be present during laser hair removal procedures.
As part of your first step to laser hair removal, scheduling a consultation with a trained technician is key to assessing if you’re an ideal candidate. They will examine your skin type and hair color while discussing your goals for treatment as well as provide you with a tailored quote based on these needs.
Once your full body laser hair removal treatment is completed, you’ll be free to enjoy wearing your favorite sleeveless tops without worrying about armpit hair showing through or an unruly piece of back hair protruding through. This is an incredible benefit for both women and men who have become weary of spending too much time removing unwanted hair.
