There are many things you should know about laser hair removal. Having laser hair removal on your skin can be daunting if you don’t have all the information. Let us help by arming you with the facts.
Although it may seem appealing to try laser hair removal at home, you should avoid it. Coming in for a session requires shaving the brow, lip or cheek area you wish to target. No tweezing or waxing, as we need the hair follicle to still be in place so it can be targeted by the laser to disappear. You will feel a slightly warm sensation and a light “snap” like a rubber band flicking your skin as the laser targets the hair. Always remember that the area on the face would be so small that it will only take a few minutes for the procedure to be done.
Any Aftercare or Disruptions?
Once your procedure is done, you have some responsibility to ensure your face looks glowing and healthy as it heals. Therefore, there are several laser hair removal aftercare tips you should follow. First, stay out of the sun and always wear sunblock as your skin will be sensitive. It is advisable to let the hair grow out again, then shave and book your session as you see the growth cycle play itself out. You should keep using sunblock for the duration of your laser hair removal sessions. You may feel the need to use lotion on the area, but refrain from overapplying – instead, lightly apply some arnica and give the area time to settle.
Is Face Hair Ideal for Laser Hair Removal?
The best hair to target is coarse hair, where our laser can easily zap the follicle. Finer hair might take a bit longer, but you should be good with two to six sessions of laser hair removal treatment on your facial area. Our lasers can handle any pigment or hair type, and we adjust the type of laser we use accordingly since our job is to provide smooth skin. Laser hair removal on your face lasts a long time, and you will also see fewer hairs, but you can come back for maintenance sessions to take care of any stray hairs until they disappear. Remember, men can also benefit from laser hair removal.
