Laser Hair Removal

Attempting to remove unwanted hair on your own can be tedious and time-consuming. Laser hair removals provide longer-lasting solutions to unwanted hairs than other hair removal methods. The procedure uses a laser to damage follicles directly while avoiding skin damage, usually requiring two to six treatments. A strong contrast between your hair and skin color leads to the best results.

FAQs

What is laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of laser light to target and destroy the hair follicles, resulting in long-term reduction or permanent removal of unwanted hair.

How does laser hair removal work?

During the treatment, the laser emits a pulsating beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. The heat generated from the laser damages the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.

Which areas of the body can be treated with laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal can be used to treat virtually any area of the body, including the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, back, chest, and arms. It’s important to consult with a provider to determine the best approach for each specific area.

How many sessions are required for laser hair removal?

The number of sessions required for laser hair removal varies depending on factors such as hair colour, thickness, and the treatment area. On average, most individuals require 6-8 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.

Can laser hair removal be performed on all skin types?

Advances in technology have made laser hair removal suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. However, certain factors such as hair colour and skin tone may affect the effectiveness of the treatment. Consult with a provider to determine suitability.

How long does a treatment take?

Depending on the treatment area’s size, you can expect to spend 30-60 minutes at the medical aesthetician’s office.

What are the side effects?

Rarely, laser hair removal can cause blistering, crusting, scarring, or other changes in skin texture. Other rare side effects include graying of treated hair or excessive hair growth around treated areas, particularly on darker skin.
