Before & After: Laser Hair Removal
How does laser hair removal work?
During your laser hair removal treatment, bright flashes of light are emitted onto the skin where the unwanted hair grows utilizing a device called Cynosure® Elite+™. This innovative dual-wavelength system directly targets the pigment (or melanin) in your hair follicles. As the pigment absorbs the light energy, the targeted hair is safely and effectively destroyed, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Multiple hairs can be treated simultaneously.
Am I a candidate for laser hair removal in Atlanta?
Laser hair removal can benefit men and women of all skin types and tones. While laser hair removal was originally more impactful for people with lighter skin and darker hair, more recent developments in the technology allow for effectively treating patients of all skin types, tones, and hair colors now. Just keep in mind that darker skin tones may require a few more sessions for best results.
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
Laser hair removal isn’t a one-and-done kind of treatment. It typically takes multiple sessions to experience the results you desire due to your hair follicles being at different stages of growth at any given time. Most people benefit from a series of four to eight sessions scheduled about four to six weeks apart. Some people may require more treatment sessions until the hair stops growing completely.
Do I need to do anything before my laser hair removal treatment?
We recommend you refrain from shaving, waxing, or plucking in the desired treatment area for about six weeks before your appointment. The laser targets pigment in the roots of your hair, so waxing and plucking may cause treatment to be ineffective since there won’t be any roots to treat. And no shaving will make it much easier on your laser hair removal specialist to pinpoint the hair. In addition, you’ll need to avoid any prolonged sun exposure for about six weeks before your treatment as it can interfere with the laser’s effectiveness and increase the risk for some side effects.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
This treatment isn’t some white-knuckle treatment like you may envision. It’s much more straightforward and has gotten a lot more comfortable than with the lasers used in the past. For most people, it isn’t considered painful, but the treatment area will likely feel tender and appear slightly red (like a mild sunburn) for about 24-48 hours. You’ll want to avoid any prolonged sun exposure for a few weeks following treatment and use sunscreen regularly if you’re going to be outside. Most people resume their usual activities when their session is complete.
When will I notice results from my laser hair removal treatment?
It usually takes around two to three weeks after the first treatment session to notice a difference in hair growth. The full results typically happen a few weeks after your last session, depending on the size of the area being treated and the amount of hair growth. Since every person is different, we’ll go over all the details of what you can expect at your private consultation.
