How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

During laser hair removal, a laser beam passes through the skin and targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. The heat from the laser destroys the hair follicle, which prevents the hair from growing back.

Laser hair removal is most effective on people who have dark hair and light skin, as the laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle. People with blonde or red hair may not be good candidates for laser hair removal, as the laser does not target these pigments as effectively. However, newer laser technology has made laser hair removal possible for people with blonde and red hair.

Laser hair removal treatments are usually performed in a series of 6-8 sessions, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of treatments you need will depend on the color and thickness of your hair, as well as the area being treated. After each treatment, you will notice a reduction in the amount of hair growth.

What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a quick and easy procedure that can be performed in the comfort of our office. The treatment itself takes about 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.

You will be given protective eyewear to wear during the laser hair removal treatment. The laser technician will then clean the treatment area to make sure it’s free of lotions, creams, and oils to help the laser light penetrate the skin.

The laser beam will then be passed over the treatment area. You may feel a slight snapping sensation as the laser light targets the hair follicles. After the treatment is complete you will be able to return to your normal activities.

There is no downtime associated with laser hair removal. You may experience some redness and swelling in the treatment area, but this should resolve within a few hours.

Risks and Complications

Laser hair removal is considered a safe and effective procedure when performed by a trained healthcare professional. However, as with any medical procedure, there are some risks and complications associated with laser hair removal.

Risks and complications of laser hair removal include:

• Skin irritation

• Hyperpigmentation

• Hypopigmentation

• Burns

• Scarring

• Infection

How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure

There are a few things you can do to prepare for your laser hair removal procedure, including:

• Avoid sun exposure – laser hair removal can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Be sure to avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before and after your laser hair removal treatment.

• Shave the treatment area – you will need to shave the treatment area before your laser hair removal procedure. This will help the laser light target the hair follicles more effectively.

• Avoid other hair removal methods – waxing, plucking, and epilating can irritate the skin and make laser hair removal less effective. Be sure to avoid these methods for at least 2 weeks before your laser hair removal treatment.

• Choose the right laser hair removal provider – it’s important to choose a reputable laser hair removal provider, such as Bliss Medical Spa and Wellness. We have the experience and training necessary to perform laser hair removal safely and effectively.

• Schedule a consultation – during your consultation, we will assess your skin type and hair color to determine if laser hair removal is right for you. We will also develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs.
