PREPARATION
Shaving the day before or just prior to treatment is necessary.
Avoid tanning the area to be treated for at least 7 days prior to treatment.
Do not scrub or wax the areas to be treated for at least 7 days.
If you develop rashes or itch over the areas to be treated, please inform your doctor or therapist to postpone your treatment.
SAFETY
Laser hair removal is the most popular aesthetic procedure performed annually and is one of the most well-known and researched uses of lasers. It is safe and effective.
It is not painful. It is a very comfortable procedure that can be used on the most sensitive body parts like Brazilian or Bikini. This is recommended for people with lower pain threshold.
TREATMENT
We recommend 4-6 sessions per zone and each session on a monthly interval basis.
Hair growth occurs in 4 stages and hair removal only affects the Anagen stage, (actively growing hair).
Therefore, approximately twenty-five-percent of hair is removed with each treatment.
After 4-6 treatments, the area should be free from hair.
DOWNTIME
Typically you will have slight redness over the treated areas for a few hours to one day.
Apply soothing moisturizer post treatment.
Apply sunscreen over the area.
Avoid picking or scratching the area treated.
EXPECT
Actively growing hairs that are treated should not grow back.
Once a hair follicle is damaged it cannot grow hair.
However, hair follicles that were not in the active growth phase will need to be treated.
It’s also not unusual for patients to have a touch-up two years after initial treatment due to hormonal changes.
