Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal is a highly effective treatment that offers a variety of benefits beyond just hair reduction, including:

Minimizes Ingrown Hairs: By targeting hair at the root, laser hair removal can help minimize the likelihood of ingrown hairs and lessen the roughness or bumps often associated with shaving or waxing, leaving your skin clearer and smoother over time.

Reduces Pigmentation: Frequent shaving and waxing can cause skin irritation and pigmentation. Laser hair removal minimizes the need for these methods, helping to reduce pigmentation and protect the skin’s natural tone and texture.

Smoother Skin: By eliminating hair, laser treatments can create smoother skin texture, free from the irritation, bumps, and ingrown hairs often caused by shaving and waxing.

Time-Saving: Skip the daily shave or regular waxing sessions. Laser hair removal provides a more long lasting solution, freeing up your time for what matters most.

Precision Targeting: The laser precisely targets unwanted hair while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed, making it safe and effective for all almost all skin types and areas.

Long Lasting Hair Reduction: Laser hair removal targets hair follicles at the root, significantly reducing hair growth over time for lasting smoothness.

Minimal Discomfort: Our advanced laser technology offers a virtually painless experience with minimal downtime compared to other more exhausting and painful procedures and treatments, allowing you to quickly return to your regular activities.

Before Treatment: To prepare for your laser hair removal session, ensure the targeted area is clean-shaven 24 hours before your appointment to allow the laser to reach the hair follicles effectively. Avoid sun exposure and tanning products for at least 2 weeks prior to your session, as tanned skin can affect the efficacy and safety of the treatment. Refrain from applying any lotions, moisturizers and sunscreen on the treatment area prior to your appointment to avoid any reactions between the product and the laser.

During Treatment: The laser hair removal treatment begins with a quick assessment of the targeted area by your specialist. During the procedure, ultrasound gel and a handheld device are glided over the skin, delivering laser pulses that target and destroy each individual hair follicle. You may feel a mild snapping sensation or warmth, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Each session typically lasts between 15-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

After Treatment: Following the treatment, you may experience some temporary redness or mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. It's essential to avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the treated area. Follow all post-treatment instructions provided by your healthcare professional to maximize results and minimize any potential side effects.

Recommended Sessions: While individual results may vary, 6-10 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are typically recommended to achieve optimal hair reduction. Each session targets hair follicles in the active growth phase, progressively reducing hair growth over time for smoother, longer-lasting results.

Results Timeline: You may notice a reduction in hair growth and finer hair texture after just a few sessions. Significant improvement is usually observed after 4-6 treatments, with continued reduction in hair density. Full results are generally achieved within 6-8 sessions, depending on hair type and area treated. However, stubborn, thick, or coarse hair—especially in certain areas—may require additional sessions to achieve optimal results.

Maintenance: We recommend maintenance sessions every 6-12 months, but some individuals may find they need more routine maintenance to maintain smooth, hair-free skin. These sessions ensure that any new or finer hair is effectively managed, keeping your skin looking its best over time. For areas with thicker or more resistant hair, or for men who tend to have coarser hair, more frequent maintenance sessions may be necessary after the initial set of 6-10 treatments.

After your laser hair removal treatment, proper post-care is essential for achieving optimal results, comfort and avoiding adverse effects. Follow these important post-care tips:

1. Avoid Heat:  Avoid hot showers, saunas, or hot tubs for at least 24 hours after treatment to minimize irritation. Apply a cool compress or aloe vera gel to the treated area to soothe any redness or discomfort.
2. Protect from Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sun exposure on the treated area for at least 2 weeks post-treatment. Always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when outdoors to prevent pigmentation changes.
3. Avoid Irritants: Refrain from using perfumed products, harsh skincare products, or exfoliants on the treated area for 48 hours to avoid skin irritation.
4. No Plucking or Waxing: Do not pluck, wax, or use hair removal creams on the treated area between sessions. Shaving is allowed, but these other methods can interfere with the treatment's effectiveness.
5. Expect Hair Growth: You may notice hair growth after your treatment. This is completely normal as the hair that was in the middle of its growth cycle during treatment will need to complete its course. Remember, while we are working to reduce hair, it takes multiple sessions to target all growth phases effectively.
6. Be Patient: Some redness or mild swelling is normal and should subside within a few hours to a few weeks. Hair may shed from the treated area over the next 1-3 weeks; this is part of the process. 
7. Follow-up as Advised: Attend any scheduled follow-up sessions or consultations with your provider to ensure the best possible outcome and address any questions or concerns.
8. Report Any Concerns: If you experience unexpected side effects, such as severe redness, blistering, or prolonged swelling, contact your healthcare provider immediately for guidance.

Remember that individual responses to laser hair removal may vary. Your provider will give you personalized post-care instructions, so be sure to follow their guidance for the best results. If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out for support.
