Laser Hair Removal Treatments

Laser Hair Removal Treatments
Does laser hair removal really work? Yes!!!! There are many ways to temporarily remove
hair, but for more permanent results, laser hair removal is the safest way to make
unwanted body hair a thing of the past! How does it work? A concentrated beam of light
is aimed at the hair. The light is absorbed by the pigment which damages the follicle
enough to retard future growth. Lasers can remove hair from almost anywhere and it can
take from months to almost a year depending on the area. An example would be hair on
the face is treated at a 2 to 4-week time frame and the larger areas of the body can be 8 to
12 weeks in between. Most often you can purchase a package of 6 at a reduced price.
However, I always explain that in some cases clients might need more treatments
depending on the area, hormone changes and their hair growth. You would need a
consultation (consultations are free!) to determine if you would be a candidate for this
type of treatment. The best results are usually obtained on dark hair and fair skin;
however, lasers have changed over the years and we are now able to treat clients that
have lighter and finer hair.
Another question that is asked is how painful is it? Today it is actually not painful at all
as the technology has changed so much. It feels more like a pinch or a rubber band
snapping the skin. I explain to clients that you will feel it more in areas where there are
more follicles, and as time goes by you will feel less concentration of energy in those
areas. It is important to make sure that you are freshly shaven and prepared for the
treatment assuming that you have had your prior consult.
Something that can prevent you from treatment is UV exposure. Laser and sun do not
mix so you will need to make a commitment while having these treatments that you will
stay protected at all times. Being that the light that we use is attracted to pigment you
would not want to increase the color of the skin as then you are creating a risk of burns or
blisters.
I have personally had Laser Hair Removal and absolutely love the results. I would
recommend to anyone that has struggled over the years with ingrown hairs, razor bumps
or excessive hair. It is easier now more than ever to make a difference.
