Laser Hair Removal
Why get it done?
Laser hair removal is used to reduce unwanted hair.
Common treatment areas = legs, armpits, upper lip, chin & bikini line.
It's possible to treat unwanted hair in nearly any area, except the eyelid or surrounding area.
* Skin with tattoos should not be treated! *
Hair color & skin type influence the success of laser hair removal
- Dark hair & light skin — yields best outcomes.
- 80% reduction in hair is considered laser success.
FYI: Laser hair removal is generally not effective for:
- gray, red, blond & white hair ~ (those hair follicles don't readily absorb laser energy)
- eyelids, eyebrows or surrounding areas, due to the possibility of severe eye injury.
Risks (Side Effects) based on client
Risks of side effects vary with skin type, hair color, treatment plan and adherence to pre-treatment and post-treatment care. The most common side effects of laser hair removal include:
• Skin irritation
• Pigment changes
• Rarely, laser hair removal can cause blistering, crusting, scarring or other changes in skin texture. Other rare side effects include graying of treated hair or excessive hair growth around treated areas, particularly on darker skin.
How to prepare?
Schedule a consultation with me to determine if this is an appropriate treatment option for you, understand the required pre & post treatment steps and expectations for results.
Results?
- Treated "hair" will shed over a period of days to weeks. Repeated treatments (series of 6 treatments spaced at 4-6 week intervals) are usually necessary as laser treatment works best with hair follicles in the new-growth stage.
- Results vary - most people experience hair removal that lasts several months to years. Laser hair removal doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal however it's usually finer and lighter in color. An 80% reduction in hair is considered laser success!
- You might need maintenance treatments for long-term hair reduction.
Pricing $$: 6-treatment package prices available.
