Five steps to the laser hair removal process
Dr. Jehangir Ansari and his team at Eman Aesthetics in Centerville, Ohio, believe in offering solutions to help patients achieve their cosmetic goals. This includes laser treatments for the skin to provide partial or full hair removal. Let’s look at what is involved in the laser hair removal process.
- Consultation appointment. Contacting a qualified and experienced technician for a consultation is the first step in the laser hair removal procedure. During this visit, our technician will assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine whether you are a viable candidate for laser hair removal.
- Preparing for treatment. Once you have decided to proceed with laser hair removal, you must prepare properly for your treatment session. This can entail avoiding the sun for at least two weeks before your appointment, shaving the area that will be treated the day before, and avoiding topical medications or products that could irritate your skin.
- The actual treatment. On the day of your scheduled session, the technician cleans the treatment area and applies a cooling topical gel to protect your skin. Then, they use a handheld device emitting concentrated light beams, targeting each hair follicle. The procedure takes anywhere from a few minutes to one hour or more, depending on the size of the treatment area.
- Post-treatment care. After the laser hair removal treatment session, your technician will likely apply a soothing lotion or ice pack to help calm any redness or irritation. They also provide specific aftercare instructions, such as avoiding hot showers or baths and wearing loose-fitting clothing for the first 24-48 hours.
- Follow-up appointments. Laser hair removal is not considered a one-time procedure. To achieve the best results, multiple sessions are typically required. The number of sessions required will vary depending on factors such as hair type and thickness, but most people require anywhere from 6 to 8 sessions spaced out over several weeks or months.
What are some additional tips to ensure successful laser hair removal results?
- Do not wax or pluck hairs in between sessions, as this disrupts the natural hair growth cycle and makes future treatments less effective.
- Use sunscreen regularly on treated areas to protect your skin from potential damage and maintain your results.
- Communicate openly with your technician about any concerns or questions you may have throughout the process.
- Follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions carefully to ensure the best possible outcome.
