How to know if Laser Hair Removal is Right For You?
What we discuss in this article (click to open):
Is Laser Hair Removal Right For Me?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hair. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
Since we have several hair growth cycles, multiple treatments are required. Each session targets the active hairs that are growing through the follicle. Every laser treatment follows the hair into the follicle to target and destroy that cycle of growth permanently.
Is laser hair removal right for me?
Laser hair removal is a great option for individuals who are looking for a more permanent solution to unwanted hair growth. The treatment works best on individuals with fair skin and dark hair due to the laser targeting pigment in the hair follicles. However, advancements in technology have made it more accessible to people with various skin tones and hair colors. This means that a wider range of individuals can now benefit from the long-lasting results that come with laser hair removal.
Ideal Laser Hair Removal Candidates
Ideal candidates for laser hair removal are individuals who are tired of the upkeep of traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, or plucking. Laser hair removal provides a fast and efficient solution by targeting hair at the root and reducing its growth over time. Additionally, individuals with busy lifestyles or sensitive skin may find laser hair removal beneficial as it eliminates the need for frequent hair removal sessions that can be both time-consuming and irritating to the skin.
Also, laser hair removal is a great option for individuals who want to target specific areas of unwanted hair, such as the face, underarms, bikini line, or legs. The precise nature of the laser ensures that only the targeted hair follicles are affected, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. This makes laser hair removal a safe and effective choice for those looking to achieve smoother, hair-free skin in a targeted and efficient manner.

How to prepare for your Laser Hair Removal Appointment
Laser Hair Removal is one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments available and may not seem like something you need to prepare for. Preparing for your laser hair removal treatment can help you avoid any pain that may be experienced, protect your skin, and get the optimal results you’re looking for. Here are some advice that can help make this a smooth journey for you:
- Do not wax, tweeze, use a depilatory or undergo electrolysis in the areas you wish to have treated for 4 weeks prior to your treatment
- Do not tan the areas to be treated for 4 weeks prior to your treatment
- Avoid using self-tanning products for 4 weeks prior to your treatment
- Shave the area the night before the treatment. Shaving can irritate the skin, which is not ideal if left on right before your treatment
- Do not use skin care products on the area to be treated. If you use any kind of topical medication on your skin, notify your medical consultant during your consultation
- Inform your medical consultant of any medication(s) you’re taking, as it may interfere with the treatment and can make your skin more sensitive to laser.
- You can take an over-the-counter pain reliever before your treatment. Some clients find this helps reduce the minimal pain further during your treatment
What should you expect during your laser hair appointment?
- You will arrive at the clinic with the area shaved and ready, and you will be given goggles to protect your eyes.
- A gel is applied to the skin to ensure an easy glide across your skin and proper distribution of the laser energy into the skin.
- The procedure itself doesn’t take very long, depending on how big the area of treatment is. Generally, it is about 15-30 minutes.
- Due to the sapphire cooling tip, the treatment itself is quite comfortable. Clients compare it to the sensation of a rubber band snapping against the skin.
- Once the procedure is finished, you will be able to return to your daily activities with no downtime! You may notice some swelling and redness in the area, but it should disappear over the next 24-48 hours.
Is it okay to wax while doing laser hair removal?
The answer is no! Laser hair removal targets the hair follicle, making it weaker each time a client comes in for the treatment, as waxing removes the hair follicle. Only shaving and cream are recommended to eliminate the surface hair during your laser hair removal treatment.
