What you need to know about laser hair removal
Are you curious about how it works or wondering if it’s right for you? Here are five of the most commonly asked questions about laser hair removal. If you don’t find what you are looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact our office.
How does hair laser removal work?
Lasers use concentrated light to target the pigment in hair follicles. The laser energy heats the follicle, preventing future hair growth—all while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Thanks to its built-in cooling technology, our Diolaze™ is effective and surprisingly comfortable.
Laser hair removal is effective for several treatment areas, including arms, bikini area, back, face, underarms, and legs. The treatment targets the hair follicles, resulting in significant hair reduction.
What should I avoid before treatment?
Our team will give detailed information on do’s and don’ts before your treatment. Generally, avoid sun exposure for about two weeks to prevent skin damage. Don’t use lotions or any products that may irritate the skin during the day of treatment. Also, avoid hair removal methods like plucking, waxing, etc., as they can limit the laser’s ability to target the hair follicles. Shaving is acceptable because it leaves the follicles intact.
What can I expect during treatment?
At The Nest Day Spa, the procedure starts with an in-depth consultation to establish your skin type and hair growth patterns. Laser treatment isn’t a one-size-fits-all. The consultation allows us to tailor your treatment to suit your unique needs.
Sessions are quick, ranging from 20-60 minutes, depending on treatment areas. The procedure is also painless. Thanks to Diolaze’s advanced cooling system, discomfort is minimal. Patients often describe the feeling as a mild snap akin to a rubber band against the skin. Most find it more tolerable than waxing and far less irritating than shaving.
What should you do after hair laser removal?
Proper aftercare is key to maximizing your outcomes. After your procedure, avoid direct sunlight and apply sunscreen to the treatment areas. Also, avoid harsh skin products, heat saunas, tanning beds, hot showers, and intense physical activities for about 24 hours.
Downtime is minimal. Many patients experience mild swelling and redness in the treated areas. It is vital to keep these areas moisturized with a gentle, hydrating lotion. Most of these side effects wear off after a day or two.
How many treatment sessions do I need?
Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to catch every follicle at the right time. Most patients see dramatic results after 6-8 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. During your in-office consultation, we’ll personalize your treatment plan based on your hair type, skin tone, and treatment area.
