Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light into hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the light, which damages the hair and inhibits future growth. Over multiple sessions, this process leads to permanent reduction of hair in the treated area.

While laser hair removal can provide long-lasting reduction in hair growth, it’s not always permanent. Some hair may regrow over time due to hormonal changes or other factors. However, many people experience significant and lasting hair reduction after completing a series of treatment sessions.

Laser hair removal is generally considered safe when performed by a trained and qualified professional, such as those at Refinery Medspa. It’s essential to follow pre- and post-treatment care instructions and undergo the procedure in a reputable facility like Refinery Medspa to minimize potential risks.

Laser hair removal can cause discomfort during the procedure, often described as a mild stinging or tingling sensation. Most people tolerate the discomfort well, and the sensation typically subsides quickly after the treatment. Some individuals may experience more sensitivity in certain areas or with higher energy settings, but numbing creams or cooling devices can help minimize discomfort.

Most people undergo around 6 to 8 sessions for optimal results, although some may need more or fewer sessions to achieve their desired level of hair reduction.

Yes, there can be side effects associated with laser hair removal, though they are usually mild and temporary. These may include redness and irritation in the treated area, which typically subside within a few minutes to a few hours.

Avoid direct sun exposure to treated areas for at least 1-2 weeks post-treatment, and after all signs of redness and irritation have subsided. Always wear sun protection with an SPF of 30 or greater that blocks both UVA and UVB rays.
