4 Facts about Laser Hair Removal

To get rid of unwanted hair, we sometimes turn to shaving, waxing and even threading to get the job done. Unfortunately, these only provide a temporary solution to the problem and cause the hair to grow back in a short amount of time. Laser hair removal is a fast and almost painless method of hair removal. It provides long lasting, and permanent results.

Laser hair removal is performed by a licensed professional who uses a device that sends a high energy light beam to the hair follicle to destroy it.

There are many different lasers on the market. One of the most effective and safe for all skin types is LUMENIS LIGHTSHEER DUET.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any part of the body. Areas like legs, bikini, arms, face, upper lips, chin, and underarms are some of the body parts on which laser hair removal is preformed.

When do results start to show?

Laser hair removal is a fast and effective way to achieve permanent hair removal. Results usually start to show after as little as three treatments.

Avoid sunlight to your skin before getting the treatment.

Use sunscreen at least two weeks before getting the treatment. If you’ve had contact with the sun and have not used sunscreen make sure to let your aesthetician know.

Protect your skin after the treatment

Make sure to protect your newly treated skin by applying sunscreen on a daily basis. Since skin is more sensitive after treatment, sunscreen is recommended to keep any problems from occurring.
