Laser hair removal is among the top five most popular nonsurgical cosmetic treatments in the United States, and it’s easy to see why. It’s a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for unwanted hair anywhere on the body or face, including your:
This innovative technique targets the pigment in the hair follicles, a complex polymer of amino acids called melanin. The laser releases light energy, which converts into heat when it hits the melanin. This heat damages the hair follicle, slowing or inhibiting future hair growth.
After your first session, hair growth typically slows by around 10%-25%. The number of treatments required to achieve optimal results may vary depending on factors such as hair color, skin tone, and the specific area(s) we’re treating.
Winter offers the perfect opportunity to start laser hair removal. Here’s why:
Laser hair removal treatment requires a series of sessions for complete hair removal, typically every 4-6 weeks, allowing you to enjoy smooth skin by summertime. Annual maintenance sessions each winter keep you effortlessly hair-free.
Our laser hair removal treatments are suitable for a wide range of hair colors and skin tones. However, the laser works most effectively on darker hair and lighter skin. The reduced sun exposure during winter often results in a paler complexion, creating ideal conditions for laser hair removal.
After each session, it’s crucial to protect your skin from direct sunlight and tanning beds for a few weeks to prevent skin damage and hyperpigmentation.
Although applying a broad-spectrum, SPF30 sunscreen to exposed areas is always recommended, winter’s cooler weather and reduced sun exposure make it easier to follow these guidelines.
