Laser Hair Removal
How It Works
Laser hair removal causes damage to the hair follicle by concentrated light. The pigment in the hair absorbs this light, damaging the follicle enough to slow or stop growth of hair. Because hair has its own cycle of growth, more than one session usually must be done to obtain the desired, long-term results. This is a safe and effective treatment across nearly all skin tones, though sometimes the type of hair and skin can affect it differently.
Benefits
The advantages of laser hair removal go beyond silky-smooth skin. It will reduce the amount of hair you have, thus also reducing the need for shaving, waxing, and the like temporary measures for hair removal. Mostly, it results in fewer ingrown hairs, fewer irritations on the skin, and a clear conscience. For the active, busy lifer, this is low maintenance and a time-saver.
What to Expect
Our team at Global Skin Clinic will do a personalized consultation so we can understand your hair type and skin type, and what is it that you are looking to be treated for, before your first session. This will give us our best guess of how many sessions will be needed for the best results. With the procedure, you will have a mild discomfort similar to that of a light snap of a rubber band; however, each session is short and our latest technology aims to make it as painless as possible.
Post-Treatment Care
You may feel a light sunburn sensation in the area or maybe redness for a few hours following the treatment. We advise you to avoid the sun, and of course, as needed, apply soothing aloe vera or moisturizers. Plus, apply protection with sunscreen. All of these recommendations will keep your skin happy and healthy while providing maximum benefits of treatment.
