If you have a thought about getting laser hair removal, it's a good idea to do some research first. We, at La Vita, believe, that it's critical to first educate yourself on the facts to ensure that the therapy is good for you.
Beyond the hair removal part, there are also plenty of other advantages of laser hair removal. It can remove a lot of ingrown hair too that irritate your skin and cause pigmentation (which is very frequent in people with dark skin tones) by making your skin smooth and glowing.
In this article, you'll discover the truth about lasers and have all your laser misconceptions addressed.
The process of laser hair removal may seem complicated and painful, but believe it or not, it is not that bad, especially for women.
Thus, how does laser hair removal work?
The laser removes hair on the skin by transmitting laser beam energy through the pigment of the hair; the beam of the laser identifies and “sees” your hair by its color. At the moment the laser “sees” the hair it fires and heats the hair follicle and blasts it out under the dermis. Isn’t that amazing? Getting rid of unwanted hair without irritating or cutting the skin? I think it is!
Hmm..., how it feels to have laser hair removal? Is it painful?
When it comes to hair removal, pain is often a concern. Waxing, tweezing, and threading are all painful. Ouch! Anyone knows what the long-term consequences of depilatory cream use will be? Did you know that you literally are “marinating” your skin with harmful chemicals stuffed in those creams? So, think about that … Have you ever done hair removal by threading them or epilating them with epilators? Did you know that by doing so you are pulling the hair from skin in “unorganized” way and that can displace the hair follicles inside the dermis which can lead to many abnormalities like ingrown hair, bumpy skin, and pigments? No? So, as you see, everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and you are the one who can decide what is best for you.
Fortunately, at La Vita, we do things differently, scientifically, and correctly. We, at La Vita, implement the Candela GentleMax Pro laser hair removal machine and that is a huge advantage to other laser skin centers.

Now, everyone wonders; how many treatments do I need? The short answer is; it depends. For the long answer, please, read below:
Even in a tiny area, you have a lot of hair follicles. It’s impossible to target all of them during one session, but the best thing is that each treatment of laser hair removal with our machine leaves you with less and less active hair follicles. Also, the number of treatments necessary to achieve desired results is determined by the following factors:
• Hair color and skin tone, and the rate of the contrast between them.
• The size of the area that you want to get rid of hair.
• The number of areas that need treatment.
• The hormones activity in your body.
In fact, you’ll get the best results if you have naturally dark hair and lighter skin because the laser is guided by the difference between the color of the hair and the color of the skin.
From our experience, it usually takes four to six treatments to have noticeable results in hair reduction and the thinning of the roots of the same area of the skin that has been treated by our laser once every 4-5 week.

Note! Here are the things to remember for laser hair removal with Candela GentleMax Pro:
• Within 24 hours of the therapy, the region to be treated must be cleanly shaven. Because the hair is usually left excessively long after razoring, motorized razors are not advisable. Attention! Do NOT shave any part of your face! Only the body must be shaved.
• Between or before sessions, do not tweeze, wax, or pluck the skin. Only shave the area that will get laser hair removal 24 hour before laser hair removal treatment.
• Makeup, lotion, deodorant, and sun cream must be removed from the treatment area; if wipes are required, inform the provider before the treatment is initiated.
• If the area has already been exposed to sunlight during the last four weeks, then laser hair removal for that part of the skin must be postponed avoiding possible complications in the future.
• 3-4 weeks ahead to treatment, no fake tanning products should be used; the area should be completely exfoliated to clear all the dead skin from the treatment area.
• If you take vitamins, blood thinners, antibiotics, or other medications you must immediately notify the practitioner before laser hair removal begins.
