Who is a good candidate for Laser Hair
Removal?
The ideal candidate for laser hair removal
has light to medium skin tone and dark colored
hair. Since the diode laser targets melanin
(color substance in hair) it cannot treat
bleached, blonde, red, or gray hair.People with darker
hair and lighter skin tone have better results.
Before your appointment, please make sure
the desired treatment area has been freshly
shaven. No plucking, tweezing, waxing,
depilatory or tanning creams, mystic tans,
sun or tanning bed exposure is to be used
within two to three weeks of the treatment.
Who is NOT a good candidate for Laser
Hair Removal?
Patients with photosensitive conditions or
medications, AIDS, pregnancy, breastfeeding,
hairy nevi, viral (e.g. Herpes) or bacterial
skin infections, cancer, hormonal disease,
and patients on anti-coagulants or retinoids
should consult their doctor first.
How many treatments will I need?
Since each hair follicle contains three to seven hairs,
it requires an average of six treatments four to eight
weeks apart to get the desired results. The
amount of hair should reduce after each
treatment. The remaining hair should
gradually become lighter.
Is Laser Hair Removal painful?
There is minimal discomfort during
treatment however, certain areas are more
sensitive than others. Sensation of the heat
increases with darker, thicker hair. Local
anesthesia is not required. A topical
anesthetic is available to those who cannot
tolerate the tingling sensation during the
treatment. Discomfort similar to a mild
sunburn may be noted over during the first 24
hours.
What should I expect after treatment?
Within several minutes, the treated area may
become pink and a little puffy will
subside in the next 24 hours. However, you
should not plan any important social
engagements for several days
after your treatment especially if the
treated areas are on the face. In about three to ten
days after treatment you may experience what
seems to be regrowing hairs. Most of these
hairs, however, are dead. Treated hairs
being shed are not regrowing. In between
treatments you should not wax or pluck your
hairs as it decreases the ability of the
laser to destroy actively growing hairs.
What are the side effects of Laser Hair
Removal?
Side effects are rare and may include
transient erythema, edema, the risk of hyper
or hypo pigmentation (uneven skin
discoloration). Sunblock should be used on
the treated area when exposed to the sun.
How much does Laser Hair Removal cost?
During your initial complimentary
consultation, the areas to be treated will be
determined and a price per treatment session
or series of sessions will be given to you.
