Most people are unimpressed with the time consumed by tweezing, waxing, or shaving when it comes to unwanted hair. When you ponder more permanent options, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering. One of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures in the United States is laser hair removal. In order to destroy the hair, highly concentrated light is beamed into the hair follicle which the pigment in the follicles absorb. Since it takes a few treatments to become hair-free, you want to get started because summer will be here before you know it. The basics and advantages of laser hair removal is what we at Open Door Med Spa would like to discuss today.

Advantages of Laser Hair Removal

Being removed with the laser hair removal, any unwanted hair from the arm, leg, back, chin, face, underarm, bikini line, and other areas is permanently eliminated. Precision removal, regularity, and time-effectiveness are just the standard benefits.
Regularity. Most patients have permanent hair loss, following an average of three to seven sessions in general.
Precise Removal. Laser hair removal can selectively target dark, coarse hairs you want removed and ensure the surrounding skin is left undamaged.
Little Time. It only takes a fraction of a second for each pulse and treats many hairs at the same time. Every second the laser can treat a sufficient area at a time about the size of a quarter. To make hair removal a very time efficient process, the larger areas, like the back or legs, may take up to an hour for the laser removal, and the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute.

What Should I Do & What to Avoid Before a Laser Hair Removal Procedure

Being significantly more than just zapping away the unwanted hair and it requires training to conduct and carries potential risks, laser hair removal is classified a medical procedure. Prior to getting the laser hair removal services, patients should take the time to thoroughly check the credentials of the doctor or technician performing the procedure. If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal before treatment, prepare yourself with the outlined recommendations. You need to let the previously tweezed or waxed should grow back because the hairs’ root is temporarily removed by waxing or plucking, making lasers unable target the roots. Before and after treatment, you need to avoid sun exposure too. It increases the likelihood of complications after treatment and hair removal is less effective with sun exposure.

What Should I Expect after My First Laser Hair Removal?

Just before the procedure, your hair that will be undergoing treatment will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface. To help with the sting of the laser pulses, before the laser procedure, topical numbing medicine is usually applied 20- 30 minutes. According to the color, thickness, and location of your hair being treated, as well as your skin color, the laser equipment will be adjusted.
