Before laser hair removal
In preparation for laser hair removal, there are a few things that you should and shouldn’t do. Firstly, make sure to shave the targeted area before the procedure. In the case of areas with very thin areas, like in the case of face laser hair removal, this is not mandatory. Don’t pluck or wax the hair in the targeted area, else the treatment won’t be effective. Avoid tanning beds before the hair removal. Make sure to cleanse the skin, excessive make up and layers of lotions can reduce the effectiveness of the procedure.
After laser hair removal
After the laser hair removal treatment, you need to take care of your skin as well to ensure its health and treatment effectiveness. Protect your skin from the sun by applying sunscreen, as well as apply prescription creams to avoid skin irritation. Similarly, avoid hot baths, saunas,sunbathing, and sun lotions for a few days. Don’t shave the treated area for at least a day. And lastly, avoid cosmetic treatments in the area of laser hair treatment for several days.
FAQ
How many sessions of laser hair removal do you need?
This is very individual and will vary not only from person to person but also from area to area. However, it is expected that after the first treatment, you will lose between 10-25% of the hair in the area. Most patients need to attend at least 6 sessions to achieve long-term results.
What happens if I stop laser hair removal after 6 sessions?
Typically, the remaining hair will remain at the growth stage they are at the time. The hair follicles that are dead won’t regrow. Development of new follicles is possible in rare cases, triggered by hormonal misbalances and other conditions.
Does laser hair removal work on small hairs?
Yes, laser hair removal works also on small hair. Importantly, the smaller the spot size of the machine, the deeper the laser will penetrate into the skin, making it effective against smaller hairs. Clarity II works with spot sizes starting as small as 2mm, effectively working against smaller and finer hair.
Does hair grow back on the face after a laser?
Laser hair removal is not a one-time treatment, and requires regular visits. Therefore, the hair on your face will grow back. However, as you continue to regularly attend the sessions, the density, thickness, and speed of growth of your hair will decrease, and over time, you may need only 2-3 sessions per year. Keep in mind, however, that in the facial area, hair grows back slightly faster than in other areas of the body.
Can I skip a month of laser hair removal?
While possible, skipping a laser hair removal session may prolong the overall treatment, as it will disrupt the hair growth cycle. As such, to ensure a more effective treatment, we don’t recommend it.
