What to Expect from Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

For millions of people in the world, waxing sessions can be dreadful. Thankfully, you can now take advantage of the most effective hair removal on the market without the pain. Laser hair removal is offered by any medical spa to get rid of your excess hair once and for all.

Why Go to a Medical Spa for a Laser Hair Removal Treatment?

You can have this treatment in a beauty salon. But how can you be sure the salon uses the safest equipment? When you go to a medical spa for this procedure, you can be sure that it will be carried out by a trained medical professional.

Preparing for the Treatment

In the past, you could not undergo laser hair treatment if you have tanned skin. Lasers can’t be effective on tanned skin. But our laser hair treatment is inclusive. It is safe even if you have darker skin.

Some Medicines are Not Okay

If you are using anti-inflammatory medicines, you should inform your doctor. You may need to take a short break to avoid the risk of bleeding during the procedure. However, you must only stop taking your medicine if your doctor believes it is okay to do so.

What to Expect?

When you come to the medical spa for your laser hair removal, you must wear the most comfortable clothing you have. The reason for this is that you are required to lie down for half an hour during the procedure. The doctor or a healthcare professional will apply a cool gel to the area to be treated. It reduces the risk of side effects. When the laser beam hits your hair follicles, you may feel a warm prin prick. But it is not painful. For most patients, the pain is tolerable.

How Long Does the Treatment Last

It depends on how large the area to be treated is. The larger it is, the longer the treatment will take. Normally, for small areas, it can last a few minutes. But if it is for your entire body, it may take an hour or so.

Downtime

There is no downtime when receiving this treatment. You can leave the spa immediately after the procedure. However, there are post-treatment instructions that you need to follow to ensure you won’t experience side effects.

Experience of the Medical Professional

Laser hair removal is a non-surgical procedure. It is generally safe. If there are side effects, they are minimal, including redness and swelling. They don’t last long. However, if you choose to receive this treatment from a place with no medical supervision, then you may experience serious side effects, like scarring, infections, and changes in skin color.
