Questions and answers about laser hair removal:

 

Are you a candidate for laser hair removal?

Anyone with dark pigmented hair, men and women are candidates. Laser does not work on blonde, light red, white or gray hairs since they have no melanin and can not absorb the laser light. Skin tone does not matter since we have a light and a dark skinned laser. We can effectively treat all skin tones, even tanned skin.  The following skin types are all eligible for laser hair removal.

How does laser hair removal work?

The laser emits a gentle beam of light that passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed by the melanin (hair color). This is very similar to how sunlight will absorb and heat darker objects opposed to light objects. The laser energy is transformed into heat, which travels down the hair shaft and  destroys the hair follicle through the dermal papilla (bulb) from where the hair grows. The skin is further protected during laser hair removal treatment by a Dynamic Cooling DeviceTM where cold cryogen mist is sprayed onto the skin cooling the upper layers and providing patients with increased comfort. The procedure can take as  little as 2 minutes or up to a couple hours, depending on the area treatment. The treated area may become pink or red within minutes of the treatment, also small red bumps from follicular swelling could appear. This may last from a few minutes to several hours and is relieved with the application of post laser lotions.

How long does a treatment take?

Laser hair removal on smaller areas like the lip, chin, cheeks, underarms, and bikini line can be treated in 5-10 minutes. Medium areas like arms, chest or back take about 30-45 minutes, and large areas like the legs can take about 60 minutes.

How many treatments will I need?

Hair grows in cycles. The number of treatments required depends upon your skin color, coarseness of the hair, and the laser being used.. Everyone will require at least 6-8 treatments as the process is only effective on hair during the early Anagen growing cycle. Repeat sessions will be necessary to treat new follicles when they enter the early growth phase. 

What precautions should be taken before and after treatment?

Avoid the sun and tanning beds 4-6 weeks before and after treatment or until your practitioner allows it. You may be out in the sun if a suncreen with SPF 30 or higher is used. (This is only for the GentleLase. With the GentleYag tanning only needs to be avoided for one week before and one week after laser hair removal treatments.) You must avoid electrolysis, bleaching, plucking or waxing hair for 2 weeks prior to treatment. All hair needs to be completely clean shaven before arrival for your treatment unless instructed otherwise. If you have a dark skin type, or are tanning, you should notify your laser specialist and we recommend using the GentleYAG laser which allows the light to penetrate through the dark pigmented skin without doing damage to the skin surface.
