This treatment eliminates unwanted hair on the face and body without the need for shaving or waxing. In this blog, we’ll discuss how it works and what you can expect.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting hair follicles with highly concentrated light energy (a laser) to reduce or inhibit hair growth.
The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin in your hair. That absorbed light converts to heat, which travels down the hair shaft to the follicle. The heat damages the follicle and disrupts its ability to grow hair. Once the follicle is affected, it enters a state of dormancy. Over a series of treatments, more follicles are affected, reducing hair regrowth. While hair won’t be permanently eliminated, the treatment can significantly reduce growth.
What Can You Expect
We begin by cleaning the area to be treated. If you have sensitive skin or are treating a sensitive area, you also may receive numbing gel. You’ll then enter the laser treatment room, where you’ll be given eye protection. Then the skin to be treated is held taut, and the skin is treated to get you looking your best.
Most commonly, the sensation of laser treatment is described as feeling like warm pinpricks or a rubber band being snapped against the skin. You may also notice a completely normal slightly burnt smell that comes from the singeing of the hair that is outside the skin.
The length of your treatment will depend on the area being treated. Small areas such as the upper lip take only a few minutes, while larger areas such as the legs can take over an hour.
After treatment, you may have temporary redness, swelling, or discomfort. These should fade after a few hours.
It’s important to work with experienced technicians like the pros here at Premier Solutions & Weight Loss, because trusting your skin to inexperienced practitioners can lead to pigment changes, blistering, or scarring.
