Laser Hair Remove

Laser Hair Removal Process

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective way to get rid of unwanted hair on your body. It works by using a concentrated beam of light to target the pigment in the hair follicles, which heats up and destroys the hair at its root.

The process of laser hair removal typically involves a series of treatments, depending on the area being treated and the density of the hair. Before each treatment, it is important to shave the hair in the area to be treated, as this allows the laser to target the hair follicles more effectively.

After the treatment, you may notice that the hair in the treated area appears to still be growing. This is because the hair has been damaged by the laser, but it can take some time for the hair to fall out completely. You can expect to see the hair gradually shedding over the course of several weeks after treatment.

It’s important to note that there are some precautions to keep in mind before and after laser hair removal. If you have any skin conditions or are taking certain medications, laser hair removal may not be safe for you. Additionally, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and to use sunscreen in the treated area for several weeks after treatment to prevent skin damage.

Overall, laser hair removal is a great option for those looking to get rid of unwanted hair on their body.

Pre treatment of laser hair remove. What we can’t do

There are certain things you should avoid doing before a laser hair removal treatment to ensure that the treatment is safe and effective. Here are some pre-treatment precautions to keep in mind:

• Don’t wax or pluck: Avoid waxing, plucking, or using any hair removal methods that remove the hair at the root for at least six weeks before treatment. This is because the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle, and if the hair has been removed at the root, there will be no pigment for the laser to target.

• Avoid sun exposure: It’s important to avoid sun exposure in the treated area for at least two weeks before treatment. This is because the laser can interact with the melanin in the skin, and sun exposure can increase the risk of skin damage or side effects.

• Don’t use self-tanning products: Avoid using self-tanning products or spray tans in the treated area for at least two weeks before treatment. These products can also interact with the laser and increase the risk of side effects.

• Avoid certain medications: Some medications can increase the risk of side effects or make the treatment less effective. Be sure to let your beautician know if you are taking any medications, including antibiotics, blood thinners, or medications that make your skin more sensitive to light.

• Shave the area: It’s important to shave the area to be treated the day before your appointment. This ensures that the laser can target the hair follicle more effectively.

Aftercare is an important part of the laser hair removal process, as it helps to ensure that you achieve the best results possible and avoid any potential side effects. Here are some aftercare tips to keep in mind:

• Avoid sun exposure: It’s important to avoid sun exposure in the treated area for at least two weeks after laser hair removal. If you must be in the sun, be sure to wear protective clothing and use a high SPF sunscreen.

• Avoid hot showers and baths: For the first 48 hours after treatment, avoid hot showers and baths, as well as saunas and steam rooms. This helps to avoid any unnecessary irritation to the treated area.

• Don’t pick or scratch: It’s important to avoid picking or scratching at the treated area, as this can lead to scarring or infection.

• Moisturize: Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the treated area hydrated and help soothe any redness or irritation.

• Avoid tight clothing: For the first 48 hours after treatment, avoid tight clothing or anything that may rub against the treated area. This helps to avoid any unnecessary irritation.

• Wait to shave: Wait at least 48 hours after treatment before shaving the treated area. When you do shave, be sure to use a gentle shaving cream and a new, clean razor.

• Follow up appointments: Be sure to attend any follow-up appointments as scheduled, as these are important for achieving the best possible results.

By following these aftercare tips, you can help ensure that your laser hair removal treatment is as effective and safe as possible.
