General Questions

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, which damages the hair follicles and inhibits future hair growth.

How does Laser Hair Removal work?

During the procedure, 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 hair follicle leaving it unable to grow new hair. This process is precise and can be used to treat unwanted hair in various parts of the body.

Is Laser Hair Removal safe?

Laser hair removal is generally safe when performed by a qualified professional. However, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects. These can include temporary redness, swelling, and discomfort at the treatment site. It's important to discuss any concerns with your provider before starting treatment.

Preparation and Aftercare

How should I prepare for Laser Hair Removal?

Before your treatment, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least four weeks. Shave the area to be treated a day before your appointment to ensure the laser targets the hair follicle directly. Avoid plucking, waxing, or using hair removal creams for at least six weeks prior to treatment.

What should I expect after Laser Hair Removal?

After the treatment, you may experience some redness, swelling, or mild discomfort at the treatment site. These side effects are usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and cool compresses. Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the treated area.
