Each pulse lasts less than one second and can target multiple hair follicles at once without causing pain for most people.
Patients should avoid darkening creams and plucking or waxing prior to treatment, and taking blood thinners.
Cost
Laser hair removal may seem intimidating at first, especially for those unfamiliar with it. But when considering all the money saved from not shaving and waxing products for life, making an investment is more than worthwhile!
Laser hair removal treatments typically last under 20 minutes and feel similar to snapping a rubber band against your skin. Today’s laser machines have been developed with comfort in mind and include built-in cooling mechanisms to minimise discomfort during each laser hair removal session; there’s no downtime after either session; patients are advised to undergo six-8 treatments spread out over six-8 weeks for best results.
Laser hair removal costs depend on several factors, including treatment area size, facility location and machine type used. Prices tend to be cheaper for facial treatments than leg treatments – one way of estimating what you should pay is comparing the rates at different facilities and providers nearby.
One of the key elements to keep in mind when budgeting for laser hair removal is care quality. You should only seek treatment from certified medical professionals with valid licenses to conduct such procedures; avoid cheap “medical spas” that offer rock bottom pricing as these will likely use low grade equipment that hasn’t been monitored and could expose you to possible danger.
Laser hair removal is typically not covered by insurance as an elective cosmetic procedure; however, you could use your flexible spending account to cover costs associated with laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal makes removing unwanted hair easier than ever, eliminating all the hassles and expense of shaving and waxing for smoother, more beautiful skin.

Safety
Laser hair removal offers an alternative to electrolysis that does not damage the skin’s surface and cause burns – it uses light energy from lasers to heat melanin in hair follicles, damaging them and stopping hair growth altogether. Results usually appear within several rounds of treatment; however, touch-up sessions may need to be scheduled annually in order to maintain these results.
Preparing your skin before receiving laser hair removal treatments is crucial. Be sure to avoid plucking or waxing the area prior to your appointment, and avoid taking medications that increase bleeding such as aspirin. A topical anesthetic may help numb the treatment site; be sure to speak to your specialist about this option. During your appointment, the practitioner will clean your face, apply gel or another numbing product directly on top of where they intend to aim their laser, while you’re wearing goggles; eventually aim your laser at its target spot until aiming is directed onto it – which might feel similar to rubber band snapping or sunburn-like sensation when the energy heats up hair follicles!
Laser hair removal requires multiple sessions for permanent results, as well as following post-treatment care instructions to achieve this. This may include regularly moisturizing the treatment area with oil-free creams and avoiding hot showers or baths (or any activity which raises body temperature). Also, tanning is discouraged as its light energy may absorb into pigmentation in skin and hair cells and hinder laser energy from working effectively.
There may be minor side effects to laser hair removal, though. Common examples are swelling and redness that should subside within hours, while you might experience minor discomfort during treatment (usually not severe). If discomfort becomes an issue for you, try starting with smaller areas like underarms or chin. For an increased dose of comfort use numbing creams or ice packs prior to each treatment session.
Effectiveness
Laser hair removal is one of the fastest, most efficient ways of eliminating unwanted hair. The laser emits heat onto pigment cells in each hair follicle to kill it off and delay future hair growth – though not a permanent solution, laser removal has proven more successful than shaving, waxing, plucking or electrolysis methods in keeping unwanted locks away.
There are various lasers used for hair removal, each offering their own set of advantages and drawbacks. Some might be better suited for certain skin tones while others require additional sessions; the Alexandrite laser, for instance, can remove more colors of hair than other laser types without being as invasive compared to diode treatments, while both provide effective results albeit may take more sessions to see them fully through.
Before embarking on laser hair removal treatments, it is crucial that you prepare by forgoing other methods of hair removal for six weeks prior. This means no plucking, shaving, sugaring or waxing and no tanning as the device works best when there is contrast between skin pigment and hair pigment.
At your appointment, you will relax as our laser is applied to the area of your choice. This device features an infrared skin sensor which controls pulses of laser energy for optimal protection from damage. However, during the procedure you may feel some mild discomfort; to ease any potential discomfort we offer topical anesthetic as an effective preventative measure.
Once your treatment has been completed, your skin may feel sensitive for two days afterward. We suggest applying a 1 percent hydrocortisone cream over any areas where irritation has occurred and using aloe vera gel for soothing redness and itching.

Side Effects
Laser hair removal is a permanent solution for unwanted body hair. This procedure is considered an effective and safe alternative to waxing, shaving and other hair removal methods such as tweezing/threading. Laser treatment should also reduce pain levels when compared to these other approaches; it has less painful outcomes as well. However, there may be risks involved, including skin pigmentation changes and scarring which should be kept in mind during laser treatment; following certain precautions as well as avoiding medications or treatments which might increase side effects can help mitigate them.
During treatment, your doctor will apply a hand-held laser instrument with cooling gel attached that protects and soothes your skin while simultaneously creating intense heat that destroys hair follicles and inhibits new hair growth – some people compare this sensation to that of being pinpricked warmly by needle. If any discomfort arises from this procedure, ask your physician for a numbing cream before beginning.
On the day of your treatment, shave the area that will be treated. Although shaving isn’t essential to getting maximum laser benefit, shaving will give its beam a target and help destroy hair follicles more efficiently. Be wary of waxing, tweezing, bleaching or using depilatory creams before your appointment as this could disrupt melanin levels in hair follicles making them more sensitive to laser treatment.
As your skin recovers from treatment, it may become red and swollen for up to 24 hours post-injection. This is normal and should subside quickly. Ice packs may help relieve swelling and pain relief while you should contact your physician if irritation continues for longer than this duration.
laser hair removal may cause side effects like skin crusting, scarring and scabbing; to minimize these potential side effects after treatment it’s best to stay out of direct sunlight for at least some time and use moisturizer to minimize skin crusting. Regrowth of finer and lighter-textured hair could occur; though you should expect this with laser treatments.
