Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair. During this procedure, our laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs.
A series of 6 treatments are recommended.
Before care
Shave the area 1 day prior to having the treatment except for facial laser hair removal, do not shave
Make sure you have been out of the sun for 2-3 weeks prior to treatment.
Avoid retinol 1 week prior
Do not apply perfume, deodorant or make-up to the treatment area the day of treatment
After care
Immediately after your treatment there likely will be some slight redness, swelling around the hair follicles and mild discomfort similar to a sunburn. Make sure to use SPF daily or avoid sun on the area for 1 week prior to treatment. Avoid the following:
No deodorant 24 hrs
Do not rub, or pick the treated area
No exfoliating for 1 week
Avoid hot tub for 48 hrs
