Laser treatment has certainly grown in popularity as a means for hair removal. There are some good reasons as to why it’s loved by many; the main being that results are significant after a full cycle of treatment.
If you haven’t yet taken the plunge of getting it done, here are five facts you might not know about it.
- More Benefits
We all know traditional hair removal methods, namely waxing and shaving, have their cons; often leaving behind nasty ingrown hairs and irritating razor cuts. Laser hair removal completely eliminates this concern as areas where the laser is used will prevent ingrown hairs from returning, and, no shaver = no razor cuts.
- Keep Clear of the Sun
When you’re undergoing laser treatment, it is definitely not the time to be sunbathing on a hot afternoon. As a result of the laser, the skin becomes more sensitive to heat, so it is important that you avoid the sun in the lead up to, as well as after your appointment. This goes the same for fake tanning, ensure your tan has faded before your appointment or for safety reasons you may be asked to reschedule.
- No Bleaching, Plucking or Waxing
I repeat, do NOT bleach, pluck or wax treatment areas before and between appointments. Laser treatment targets the hair follicle, so when you completely remove the hair from the follicle or damage it, the laser can’t do its job.
- Patience is Key
Laser hair removal takes time and requires a level of commitment, as you will be required to have a session every 4 – 6 weeks. You should start to see results from your first few sessions; however, permanent results require the full course of treatments and perhaps a maintenance treatment once a year there after.
- Painful or Painless?
If you’re new to the laser hair removal world, it might be a bit daunting knowing that a laser will be penetrating the skin. Don’t stress, it’s not as scary as what you might think. We use the highest quality Candela GentleMaxPro® lasers, which are very gentle on the skin.
