About Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Reduction targets hair follicles for the purpose of selectively destroying them while leaving the surrounding tissue (skin) intact. The purpose of this procedure is to diminish or remove unwanted hair. Hair reduction requires more than one treatment and does not remove all hair. Generally, hair reduction decreases in the amount of hair growth by 60-90% overall. Results depend on color and location of hair follicles. A general range of 4-12 treatments spaced 4-8 weeks apart is optimal for maximum results.
What To Expect With Laser Hair Removal
The most common areas to treat are the face, legs, arms, underarms, back and bikini area and the procedure is tolerated well by patients. The sensation of light may be uncomfortable in certain areas and feel like pin pricks or bursts of heat. The use of topical anesthetics can be used at the discretion of the provider. Erythema (redness) may occur in the area of treatment and may last several hours. Edema (swelling) around the hair follicles is called peri-follicular edema and is a sign that the hair follicle has been affected. Urticaria (itching) or hive-like appearance is also associated with the thermal light affecting the surrounding skin. Commonly these side effects will heal on their own, but if discomfort continues, reach out to your provider.
How To Get The Best Laser Hair Removal Results
The laser targets dark hair follicles surrounded by lighter skin. Be sure your skin is not red or tan from sun or sunless tanning. Stop waxing or plucking the hairs. Shave the treatment area the day of your laser hair removal appointment. Consult with a licensed provider to discuss specifics to your desired treatment goals.
