Ideal candidates for laser hair removal include adults of any gender who are looking to reduce unwanted hair. The treatment is especially effective for individuals with dark hair and lighter skin tones, although advances in laser technology have made it suitable for a wider range of skin types and hair colors. Contraindications include pregnancy, certain skin conditions and sensitivity to light-based treatments.
What to Expect from Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
We make the process of laser hair removal easy, convenient and no-fuss. Here’s what will happen:
Consultation
Your laser hair removal journey begins with a personal consultation. During this time, a specialist will evaluate your skin type, hair color and the area you wish to treat. This initial meeting helps us set realistic expectations and address any concerns you may have. We’ll use that conversation to develop a tailored treatment plan, including the number of sessions we think we’ll need to achieve your desired results.
Procedure
On the day of your procedure, the treatment area will be cleaned and you may be provided with protective eyewear. The laser device is then calibrated according to the specifics of your skin tone, hair color and treatment area. As the laser is applied, you’ll feel a sensation often compared to the snap of a rubber band against the skin. The total length of the procedure varies from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of areas being treated.
Recovery
Posttreatment
You’ll be advised to avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to the treated areas. Most individuals can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment, with no significant downtime.
Results
After your initial laser hair removal session, you may notice a reduction in hair growth. The full benefits are typically realized after a series of treatment sessions, with hair becoming finer and less noticeable. For optimal results, maintenance touch-ups once or twice a year may be recommended to manage any new hair growth.
Follow-Ups
Multiple sessions are usually necessary to capture all hair follicles in their growth phase. Follow-up treatments are scheduled based on your hair growth cycle, typically every 4-6 weeks. After completing the initial series of treatments, occasional touch-ups may be recommended to maintain smooth, hair-free skin.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
The cost of laser hair removal varies based on several factors, including the size of the treatment area, hair density and the number of sessions required to achieve desired results. Restorative Injectables offers competitive pricing and personalized treatment plans to accommodate your budget. Contact us for more detailed information and to schedule your consultation.
What is the Difference Between Laser Hair Removal and Waxing?
Laser hair removal and waxing are two popular methods for managing unwanted hair, each with its own set of benefits and considerations. Laser hair removal uses focused light to penetrate the hair shaft and target the melanin (pigment) in the hair. This process damages the hair follicle, which inhibits or delays future hair growth. It’s a preferred option for those seeking a more lasting solution to hair removal, as the results can be semi-permanent, with hair growing back finer and sparser over time.
Waxing, while effective for temporary hair removal, involves applying warm wax to the skin and then quickly removing it, pulling the hair out from the root. This method can provide smooth skin for several weeks, but the hair will eventually regrow, necessitating regular treatments to maintain the hair-free result. Unlike laser hair removal, waxing does not offer a long-term reduction in hair growth and the repeated process can be painful and may lead to skin irritation or ingrown hairs.
