Once you undergo the required number of sessions in West Melbourne, you can expect long-lasting results.
What Is the Recovery Process Like After a Laser Hair Removal Session in Indian Harbour Beach & West Melbourne?
One of the reasons that patients love this hair removal treatment so much is that there’s no significant downtime. However, there are some aftercare instructions that you must follow to protect your skin, avoid complications, and ensure the best and longest-lasting results.
Your technician will provide you with a complete list of aftercare instructions so that you know exactly how to care for your skin after undergoing the treatment.
Caring for Your Skin After Your Treatment
Your skin may appear red and feel sensitive immediately after your treatment. This is a result of the laser energy’s effect on the skin and the methods it uses to eliminate unwanted hair from multiple areas. Even though this is a normal response, it’s important that you follow some aftercare instructions to help your skin heal as quickly as possible.
You’ll need to avoid certain products with harsh anti-aging or exfoliating ingredients, exfoliating products, retinoids, AHAs, and BHAs. You’ll also need to use moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and wear loose clothing to protect the treatment area.
Avoiding Certain Activities
Not only will you need to avoid certain products and types of clothing after your treatment, but you’ll also need to avoid certain activities. Anything that causes friction in the treatment area, increases your body temperature, or causes you to sweat can cause irritation. For that reason, it’s important to temporarily avoid hot environments, sweating, or anything puts pressure on or creates friction in the treatment area.
Staying Out of the Sun
It’s also important that you avoid sun exposure after your treatment. The laser light energy makes your skin more sensitive to the sun’s harmful rays, increasing the risk of aging, skin damage, and even skin cancer. For that reason, you’ll be instructed to use a quality and high SPF to protect your skin. Wear sunscreen even on a cloudy day, since your skin will still be affected by UV rays.
Temporarily Avoid Certain Skincare Treatments
This hair removal treatment in West Melbourne pairs well with other professional skincare treatments, but you’ll need to wait to schedule certain treatments.
Any exfoliating treatments, like microneedling, facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments, must be scheduled a few weeks after your treatment to avoid skin irritation. Your laser hair removal technician can give you more details about how to schedule your treatment so you can ensure adequate healing and the best results after professional hair removal.
Laser Hair Removal Frequently Asked Questions
What Is It?
Professional hair removal with a laser device is a treatment that uses the power of light energy to target unwanted hair in one or multiple body areas. This professional hair removal treatment targets unwanted hair at the source. Unlike shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams, which deliver temporary results, this treatment targets the root cause of hair growth to ensure long-lasting results and smooth, hair-free skin.
How Does It Work?
One of the reasons that this professional hair removal treatment is so effective is that the laser energy destroys the hair follicles at the root. It heats the hair follicle and renders it incapable of growing hair. Once you undergo the recommended number of treatments, the hair follicles will no longer grow hair. You’ll be left with hair-free skin and won’t have to worry about shaving, waxing, tweezing, or chemical methods to remove unwanted hair.
What Areas Can It Treat?
This professional hair removal method can treat unwanted hair on the face and body. Patients can choose to treat one or multiple areas, and common treatment areas include the arms, back, chest, face, underarms, trunk, bikini/Brazilian, and neck.
Who Is It Right For?
The best candidates for this treatment are men and women who feel self-conscious or embarrassed about excess hair, and those who are tired of the time and cost commitment required at home or in-office temporary hair removal methods. Patients should be in good health and not have any active skin infections or skin conditions in the treatment area.
Additionally, pregnant and nursing women don’t qualify for treatment due to safety concerns. An initial consultation with an experienced technician will help determine if this treatment is the right choice for you.
What Should I Expect From My Professional Hair Removal Treatment Plan in Indian Harbour Beach & West Melbourne?
The first step in the process is an initial consultation with an experienced technician who will evaluate your skin, learn more about your current health and medical history, and confirm that professional hair removal with a laser device is right for you. Then, she’ll customize your treatment plan and give you details on how to prepare for your session and how to care for your skin after it’s over.
When you arrive for your treatment, the technician will cleanse the skin in the treatment area to prepare it for the session and then activate the laser device so that it targets the hair follicles in the treatment area. Treatments are quick and only take 20 to 40 minutes to complete. Treatments may take longer if you want to treat multiple areas during the same treatment plan.
How Should I Prepare for Treatment?
The best way to prepare for your treatment is to avoid sun exposure, sunless tanning, and any products or medications that could increase skin sensitivity. It’s also important to drink plenty of water so that your skin is hydrated at the time of your treatment.
Are Treatments Painful?
Advancements in laser technology have resulted in hair removal treatments that are quick, effective, customizable, and comfortable. You can rest assured that your technician will take every measure possible to ensure you experience the best and most comfortable treatment process.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Most patients in Indian Harbour Beach need several sessions with a few weeks between each to achieve their desired results. The reason for this is that the laser device only targets hair follicles that are in an active growth phase at the time of treatment. Not every hair follicle will be actively growing hair during your session, which is why you’ll need to schedule at least seven sessions to achieve your desired results.
When Will I See Noticeable Results?
You can expect results immediately following your session as well as gradual results as the treated hair follicles stop growing hair and you achieve and maintain smooth, hair-free skin. It takes several weeks after the final session to notice the best results.
How Long Will My Results Last?
The results of this hair removal method are long-lasting and can be permanent. Hormonal changes and medical conditions can cause hair to regrow in rare cases, and if that happens, you can schedule another session to prevent it.
