A Brief Guide to the Best Laser Hair Removal Services
Looking for a long-lasting solution for smooth, hair-free skin? We don’t blame you. Constant shaving or waxing is time consuming and expensive as the years go on. While they only offer temporary results, there’s another option that might be just what you’re looking for: laser hair removal. It provides a more permanent reduction in hair growth, making it an effective (and convenient) option for those looking for a long-term solution. We want to take a few minutes to go over everything you need to know about the best laser hair removal option around!
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Even though it’s been around for years now, laser technology still feels like something out of a sci-fi movie. In this case, the devices used for your laser hair removal service use concentrated beams of light to target your hair follicles. The melanin in your hair absorbs the laser’s energy, which heats the follicle and damages it. This damage inhibits future growth, making the process a more long-term solution than shaving or waxing. Thanks to the literal laser-precision of this procedure, the targeted hair is the only thing affected; the surrounding skin remains undamaged.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
One of the most enticing benefits of laser hair removal is the lasting results. If you consistently show up for 6–8 treatments, you can expect permanent reductions in hair growth. This makes maintenance a breeze going forward! But that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Precision
Shaving and waxing will never be able to reach the levels of precision offered by laser hair removal technology. It can treat small areas like the upper lip or bikini line while leaving the surrounding areas untouched.
Less Pain Over Time
There’s no way around it: While it isn’t severe, even the best laser hair removal procedures involve some discomfort. The good news is that it isn’t the most painful thing you can have done by a long shot. Hair waxing will cause more pain, which is another reason this is an ideal route for hair removal.
Time and Money Saved
The upfront cost of laser hair removal may give you pause at first, but consider the money you’ll be shelling out over time if you stick with shaving and waxing for the rest of your life. When you eliminate the need for such frequent treatments, the price of the procedure is well worth it!
What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal Service
It’s natural to be nervous about any procedure—even a non-invasive one like this. We’ll take you through the process to put your mind at ease. To start, we employ only the best laser hair removal technicians who know the equipment like the back of their hand. They will carefully apply the laser to the targeted area of your skin. This is where the aforementioned discomfort will occur. We like to compare it to the snap of a rubber band, so if you ever endured that “trick” from your friends in high school, you can handle this.
Each session of laser hair removal service lasts between 20 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the targeted area. To achieve optimal results, the average person requires 6–8 treatments to reach their desired results. This is because hair grows in cycles and laser treatment is most effective during the active growth phase.
And that’s it! Though the technology is complex the process itself is simple, making this an accessible choice for countless clients.
Potential Side Effects and Aftercare Tips
As with any treatment or procedure that disrupts the body (even slightly), there are some side effects to be aware of. First off, you could experience mild redness and swelling—a common side effect that won’t last long. Additionally, you may experience discomfort immediately following the procedure. This is another symptom that dissipates rather quickly.
To ensure your skin remains as healthy as possible following the procedure, make sure you avoid exposing the affected area of your skin to direct sunlight. Additionally, we recommend moisturizing the skin with gentle skincare products. The length of these measures may vary depending on your skin, so consult with your technician and follow their aftercare instructions.
Who Can Benefit From Laser Hair Removal Service?
Because the laser targets pigments in hair follicles, the ideal candidate for this procedure has traditionally had light skin and dark hair. However, thanks to recent technological advances, proper treatment is possible on a much wider range of hair colors and skin tones. If you’re not sure whether you’re a good candidate, get in touch with us and our technicians will make an assessment!
