What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal reduces the growth of unwanted hair. This treatment targets the pigment in the follicles by light destroying the hair.
Advances in technology have led to laser hair removal: a fast, easy and effective hair removal treatment. However, laser hair removal can reduce unwanted hair from almost anywhere on your body. The ELOS system by Syneron provides safe and effective results, along with high patient satisfaction with no downtime and minimal side effects.
Why Try Laser Hair Removal?
If you are unhappy with shaving, waxing, using hair removal creams, or tweezing, you will be satisfied with laser hair removal. This treatment can significantly reduce hair growth for months. Laser hair removal is a well-tolerated treatment. It provides precision by selectively targeting the undesired growth areas while leaving the skin undamaged. Additionally, the laser hair removal process is very fast, since each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second. Some patients have seen a permanent reduction of hair after only three sessions. Some common areas that may have undesired hair growth include:
- Legs
- Armpits
- Upper Lip
- Chin
- Bikini Line
- Chest
Please note that this treatment may be done anywhere on the body. If you would like to get rid of undesired hair permanently, you may ask us about additional treatment sessions. On your consultation day, we will develop a customized treatment plan to deliver optimal results.
What to Expect During Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
First, you will be seeing our professionals on your consultation day to go over the targeted areas and treatment plan. On the day of the treatment, our beauty professionals will trim the hair until it is only a few millimeters above the skin. Then, the equipment will be adjusted to deliver the best results based on your needs. For safety assurance, we will give you appropriate eye protection to wear. The laser hair removal treatment itself is essentially painless. Pulses of light will be applied to the treated areas as we watch the area for several minutes to make sure the adjustments are working properly, and your skin is responding to the treatment well. Following the treatment, ice packs or anti-inflammatory lotions may be given to ease any discomfort.
Are There Any Risks to Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal has minimal to no side effects with no downtime. You may feel like your skin has been sunburned. Some other side effects may include, swelling, redness, or scarring.
Please note that no long-term health issues or serious risks are associated with laser hair removal treatment.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Here are some pre-care instructions for the treatment:
- Tanning should be avoided for 4-6 weeks before treatment (please cancel your appointment if you have tanned within this time frame). Tanning may cause burns and scars to the treated area.
- Avoid waxing, tweezing, bleaching, threading, or use of depilatory agents for 4 weeks before laser hair removal treatment.
- Shaving is OK. We recommend that you wet-shave 24 hours before your treatment. Minimal facial hair growth is OK before treatment as it is advisable to see minimal facial hair growth during treatment.
- You are advised to use Sunscreen SPF 30 or greater with Zinc oxide (9-16%) 20 minutes before sun exposure when outdoors during daylight hours.
- Please remove deodorants, lotions, creams, makeup, perfume, powder, and bath oil before a laser hair removal treatment. These can obstruct or refract laser light negatively.
