Laser hair removal can provide women and men with silky-smooth skin. It safely eliminates unwanted hair on unibrows, sideburns, chins, or necks – providing silky skin in no time at all!
Before laser treatment begins, it is crucial that the area you will be treating be thoroughly cleansed of lotions, creams and moisturizers that may interfere with its effectiveness. Light energy converted to heat destroys hair follicles which prevent future hair growth. Before beginning your laser session it is vital that you thoroughly prepare and cleanse the area that will be targeted – this includes any lotions used prior to your laser session and any lotions applied immediately prior.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Laser hair removal is an efficient and safe method of getting rid of unwanted body hair. It is more convenient and less painful than shaving or waxing, while providing long-term results that last. Furthermore, laser treatments are precise enough to avoid damaging the skin unlike some other forms of body hair removal methods and more cost effective than the lifetime costs of shaving or waxing; in addition, laser treatments are suitable for all skin types and complexions; though the exact number of sessions required depends on an individual.
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light technology to target and destroy individual follicles with heat from laser beams, stopping their ability to produce new hair growth and providing smooth and flawless skin.
Your technician will create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you and your needs. Depending on what treatment is necessary for you, several laser sessions may be necessary before reaching the desired results; usually six to eight sessions should do it; but your skin type, hair texture and thickness, hormone levels and medications all play a role in how many sessions may be necessary.
Whenever it comes to eliminating hair from the face, laser treatment sessions may need to be scheduled more frequently due to how it grows in cycles. Your technician will schedule your treatments so that the targeted follicles are active while in their active growth phase.
Laser hair removal sessions take place in the comfort of a provider’s office while their laser equipment operates. Prior to beginning the procedure, your provider will clean the targeted area on your face.

Furthermore, smoking or drinking alcohol before or after each appointment could compromise its success as they interfere with laser treatments’ efficacy.

At your appointment, an aesthetic professional will use protective goggles to shield your eyes from the laser’s beam and apply a small amount of gel on the area being treated to reduce discomfort or irritation during treatment.

How Long Will I Need Aftercare?
Upper lip laser hair removal treatments use laser beams to target and inactivate hair follicles responsible for growth, eventually stopping production altogether – eliminating future waxing or shaving needs altogether.

After each session with your dermatologist or cosmetic specialist, it is essential that you follow their aftercare instructions carefully. This may involve avoiding direct sunlight on your skin and using warm showerwater instead of hot shower water as this could burn the area being treated. Moisturizer should also be applied regularly as needed and cooling cream applied if it becomes uncomfortable.
After receiving laser hair removal treatments, some redness and swelling is to be expected; this should pass quickly with care taken not to rub the treated area too vigorously or apply makeup directly over it until healing has taken place. A cold compress or ice wrapped in dry cloth may help soothe pain while minimising swelling; alternatively if your redness and swelling persist, consult with a specialist who may suggest additional courses of treatment or an alternate form of hair removal; they’ll also be able to advise if laser is best suited to you and your unique situation
