Your Session of Laser Hair Removal 

Preparation

On the day of your session, about 20 to 30 minutes before the laser application, your provider will trim any hair in the treatment area but will not shave it entirely. They may also clean the treatment area before applying a numbing cream. Once the numbing cream takes effect, your provider will begin treating the target area.

Treatment

The laser pulse takes less than a second, and your provider will examine the area to ensure it is treated properly. This process will be repeated across all desired treatment areas. Most sessions last around an hour, but this can vary based on the specific area being treated.

Side Effects & Recovery

After the procedure, your provider will assess your progress and provide detailed post-care instructions to ensure optimal results. They will answer any questions you may have, offer guidance on the best aftercare practices, and remind you of any necessary follow-up appointments. This personalized approach ensures a smooth recovery and the best possible outcome from your treatment.

Laser hair removal requires no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after treatment. Some common side effects include mild redness and swelling in the treated area, which typically subside within a few hours to a few days. To ensure the best results, avoid additional hair removal treatments such as waxing or plucking and minimize UV exposure for at least six weeks following your session. Proper aftercare will help protect your skin and enhance the effectiveness of your treatment.

Achieve Lasting Results  

After just a few treatments, you’ll begin to notice slowed hair growth or even permanent hair reduction in the treated areas. Most clients experience significant hair reduction after three to seven sessions. Multiple treatments are necessary to ensure that all hair follicles in the target areas are effectively destroyed rather than temporarily disabled.  

Follow-up appointments are typically scheduled two to four weeks apart, allowing for optimal treatment progression. Our team will work with you to arrange these sessions at times that fit your schedule, ensuring a smooth and convenient experience on your journey to long-lasting hair removal.
