A laser emits light that penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the hair pigment (melanin), converting light energy into heat. This heat then damages the hair follicles, blocking or delaying future hair growth. With this minimally invasive treatment, long-lasting results can be achieved.
Laser hair removal treatment provides freedom from unwanted body or facial hair. It eliminates the potential for rashes, razor burns, or ingrown hairs. You’ll enjoy a long-lasting reduction in growth and soft, radiant skin. All this is achieved through minimal discomfort and rapid, minimally invasive treatment sessions.
For even more transformative effects, it can be paired with other treatments. The best treatment combination will be determined by your specific aesthetic goals.
You will discuss your specific needs with a skilled aesthetician during your consultation. We will provide tailored advice on preparing for treatment based on your concerns. To ensure optimal results, please refrain from waxing or tweezing your hair for two to four weeks before starting treatment.
However, shaving is acceptable, as it does not extract the hair follicle. Our experts will meticulously analyze your skin tone and hair color to determine the most suitable laser strength for your customized treatment.
During the session, you will receive protective eyewear and a cooling gel to enhance comfort. The handpiece emits light pulses, described by patients as a mild prickling sensation, ensuring minimal discomfort or pain.
After treatment, visible redness and swelling are typical for a few hours. While immediate hair loss is not expected, gradual shedding will occur over days to weeks. Repeated treatments are usually necessary to fully enjoy the benefits, as hair follicles go through various stages as part of their natural cycle.
Laser hair removal is widely applicable and can be utilized on various body parts including the face, back, legs, arms, and bikini area.
Laser hair removal can provide long-lasting results by permanently reducing unwanted hair on the underarms, bikini, back, chest, and legs. This eliminates the need for additional treatments for many years.
To achieve optimal effectiveness, patients should ideally commit to four to six treatments scheduled one month apart.
Laser hair removal is a proven method for achieving hair-free skin and delaying regrowth. However, it is not suitable for gray or white facial hair or facial peach fuzz.
During laser hair removal, the sensation varies between a mild stinging or snapping feeling. To alleviate physical discomfort, our laser is equipped with a cooling system.
If any adverse effects are experienced, they are minor in nature. These may include redness and slight swelling surrounding the treated hair follicles, indicating a response from the follicles to the applied therapy.
Laser hair removal is used on all skin tones; however, it may be less effective for darker skin. At The Skin Retreat, we provide Gentle YAG 1064 Laser treatment, specifically designed for dark skin tones.
Before treatment, refrain from sun exposure, tanning, waxing, or plucking for four weeks. Shave the designated areas one day before the session. For optimal results, avoid blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or anti-inflammatory drugs.
The duration of treatment varies depending on the specific areas being treated. Each treatment session typically lasts between 15 to 30 minutes.
You can undergo laser hair removal during the summer months. However, certain precautions should be taken to protect your skin from sun exposure. This includes wearing sunscreen with a high SPF, avoiding direct sunlight for at least 24 hours, and covering up treated areas when outside. Also, avoid tanning beds before and after treatments.
There are some restrictions on activities after laser hair removal. It is recommended to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks after the treatment, as the skin may be more sensitive and prone to damage. Additionally, it is advised to avoid strenuous physical activities or excessive sweating for 24-48 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to heal.
It is also to refrain from using harsh chemicals or exfoliants on the treated area for at least a week. Finally, it is crucial to follow any specific aftercare instructions given by the provider to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects.
Laser hair removal can effectively target and treat hair on various parts of your body, including the face, back, legs, arms, and bikini area.
The cost is contingent upon the extent of the surface area treated and the overall number of procedures required to attain optimal outcomes.
Certain factors may affect the effectiveness of laser hair removal. These include:
Laser hair removal can effectively treat ingrown hairs. By targeting the hair follicles, laser energy destroys the root of the hair and prevents it from growing back inwards, which is the cause of ingrown hairs. They also help reduce inflammation and scarring caused by previous ingrown hairs.
However, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results, and maintenance treatments may be necessary to prevent new ingrown hairs from forming. It is also recommended to consult with a licensed and experienced professional to ensure safe and effective treatment.
