Unwanted Hair
Frequently Asked Questions - Page 1
- What is Laser Hair Removal and how does it work?
- Laser hair removal is a fast and permanent method to get rid of unwanted facial and body hair. The technology has steadily improved over the past 10 years. Most importantly, our lasers are FDA-Approved.
As the chilled handpiece glides comfortably across your skin, the laser beam, which is about the size of a dime, pulses, targeting dozens of pigmented hair roots. Unfortunately, it does not treat blonde, red or gray hair. The laser permanently destroys approximately 20% of the actively growing hair with each treatment.
- What is a Laser Hair Removal treatment like?
- The laser handpiece glides across the skin, comfortably cooling it, virtually as fast as shaving. Compared to tedious, painful, electrolysis; most areas can be treated in minutes. For example: upper lip 1 minute, underarms 5 minutes, and bikini lines 10 minutes.
- Is it painful?
- Because we chill the skin 1st, you probably will only feel a split-second of discomfort, which is very tolerable and similar to plucking; definitely less than waxing or electrolysis. Additionally, you may opt to use our recommended topical anesthetic cream. This topical anesthetic should be used sparingly, as directed for specific areas.
- Is Laser Hair Removal safe?
- Patients should avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning before and during treatments periods.
- Do I need recovery time?
- Our Laser Hair Removal process allows patients go right back to work or continue their regular activities immediately afterwards. You might notice a slight flushing to the area, like after exercising, that usually resolves within an hour.
