Plan of execution
After assessing the hair color and taking photos at your first appointment, we will create a timeline schedule of appointments for your treatment area. You simply shave before then show up for your laser hair treatments! After 6-8 sessions, you can expect thinner or removal of dark hair. After your sessions are complete, we can switch you over to waxing appointments to continue to remove hair and damage the follicles. Some patients opt for laser hair touch ups appointments once or more per year. Touch ups for some patients are necessary because hormones and new growth continue to form.
FAQ's
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal involves the use of laser pulses. These pulses emit light into the skin that destroys the root and follicle of the hair. When the root and follicle are destroyed, hair can no longer grow. For this process to work, the hair must be targeted during an active growth phase. However, individual hairs usually grow at different rates. Therefore, it takes several treatment sessions to capture every hair in the growth phase and produce optimal results.
How do I prep for my appointment?
In preparation to your first laser appointment, please avoid plucking, tweezing, waxing, and sunburnt skin. In the days before treatment, avoid taking medications such as blood thinners, NSAIDs, antibiotics, retinol, and pain relievers. Take a shower and shave right before your treatment, but don’t apply any lotions, moisturizers, or sunscreens to the skin. Deodorant will be removed prior to treatment.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no definite answer, as each person is different. In most cases, you’ll need between six and twelve treatments. These sessions are spaced out four to six weeks apart. The waiting period is necessary to target every hair follicle while it’s in an active stage of the growth cycle. Strictly shave only - during and in-between sessions for maximum efficacy. Please inform medical provider if any tattoos are on your body. Tattoos are to be avoided during laser hair removal treatments.
