10 Things you should know about Laser Hair Removal

With everyone’s busy schedule, no one has time to regularly shave or trim. It’s a fact that 9-5 jobs don’t leave you with enough time for yourself. If you’re an entrepreneur, it’s even worse, running the whole day for different meetings. Sometimes you just won’t get enough time to get ready, say, for an unplanned meeting, event, or party. 😔

Why not opt for Laser Hair Removal? No need to shave, pluck or trim unwanted hair anymore. Trust us – this treatment is all that you need! According to Cosmopolitan, UK, most people reported satisfaction and reduction in hair growth and were super happy with the results.

Some people are skeptical about this treatment, as they have a lot of questions in their heads unanswered. Hence, we have compiled a list of things you should know about this treatment. What’s better than having all your questions answered at the same place right?

A lot of people assume that just because it involves laser and high technology, it is a painful process. Let me stop you there, it’s not. It is a super easy process and pains the minimum, just like a rubber band being flicked.

The light from the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair. This will cause the hair to heat up and cause damage to the root of the hair and blood supply, inhibiting the regrowth.

High tech machine such as the Light Sheet Duvet machine is one of the least painful lasers in the market.

The treatment time does not require a lot of patience, it is pretty fast actually; however, it will depend on the area of treatment. Generally, it can take from a few minutes to an hour.

This is subject to the client as it highly depends on your growth. Some people start to see the results after just one session, while for some, it takes another 2-3 sessions. But the results are promising.

This depends on skin colour, hair colour, hair density, and hormones. The average is 6-9 treatments.

Yes, you are allowed to shave between the treatments.

Yes, there are some key things to remember:

• Shave the treatment area preferably 24 hours before the treatment. Remember not to tweeze or pluck the hair, as it might cause irritation during the session.
• Try not to use any skin ointments, perfumes, or makeup before your session.
• You can exfoliate the area before the treatment.

You must avoid sun exposure, sauna or gym sessions after and before this treatment. Specifically, refraining from the sun for 14 days pre and post-treatment is essential.

Yes, interestingly laser hair removal has more than just one benefit. For people who develop sores and rashes because of in-grown hair, good news… this treatment is very beneficial to tackling in-grown hair issues, hence, reducing irritation on our skin too. 😊

Not at all, anyone can opt for this treatment. More than women, men’s hair removal is a thing now! They are more interested in grooming than ever and the opt-in numbers have really gone up in the past few years. Moreover, this treatment does wonders for transgenders too. It really helps throughout the transition process.

This treatment does not eliminate hair growth but reduces it to almost 95%. Laser hair removal never guarantees a 100% hair-free body. Hence, some re-growth can be seen in the treated area. In such a case, you can consult your doctor again.
