Laser Hair Removal FAQ
BENEFITS OF GETTING LASER HAIR REMOVAL? Tired of dealing with unwanted hair along the bikini line? Feel like you’re never ready for an impromptu trip to the beach without time for shaving? Spending hours in the bathroom removing hair? Trying to find people to help shave your back? Laser hair removal is the solution, and we have the laser that’s appropriate for you. The Lumenis SPLENDOR X device lets you customize hair removal and skin imperfections on all skin types and skin tones like never before. Benefits of laser hair removal: 1. Reduces the need for daily shaving. 2. Reduces razor burns, ingrown hairs, cuts, and blisters that occur with waxing, plucking, and shaving. 3. More cost-effective compared to waxing or threading. 4. Prevents irritation and development of folliculitis (a condition in which the hair follicle becomes inflamed from shaving). 5. Reduces itching and irritation. 6. Improves the appearance of the area being treated.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LASER HAIR REMOVAL? During treatment, the laser emits energy in the form of light onto the skin. The melanin in the hair absorbs this energy and converts it into heat which then destroys the hair follicles to prevent or stop future growth. Some patients may experience slight reddening and localized skin swelling, like a sunburn, but this dissipates quickly. Before your next treatment (4-6 weeks), you may experience slight regrowth of some hair, though it is usually more delicate and lighter than what was initially removed. Most of these hairs were treated and are shedding. It is not re-growth. You may shave the area treated 3 days after your treatment. The hair follicles need to purge the hairs that remain under the skin. Please refrain from waxing, tweezing, threading, or bleaching between treatments (shaving is allowed). Don’t forget that laser hair removal works best with dark-colored hair. Laser technology is not able to target follicles without melanin, meaning that patients with white, red, grey, or blonde hair will not see results.

WHAT TO DO BEFORE A LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT. 1. Avoid blood‑thinning medications (like aspirin or ibuprofen). If you take prescribed blood thinners, follow your healthcare provider’s guidance. 2. Refrain from alcohol for 24 hours before treatment. 3. Avoid supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, and high‑dose garlic for a few days beforehand. 4. Come with a fresh face—no makeup, lotions, or SPF on the treatment area. 5. Plan around major events Mild swelling or small injection bumps can occur. Schedule your appointment at least 2 weeks before big events to allow results to settle. 6. Avoid strenuous exercise beforehand. Heavy workouts right before your appointment can increase circulation and bruising risk. 7. Reschedule if you’re unwell. If you have COVID, an active infection, cold, fever, or skin irritation in the treatment area, it’s best to wait. 8. Not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. 9. Share your medical history, allergies, and any previous injectable treatments. Transparency helps ensure a safe, effective experience.
WHAT TO DO OR DON'T DO AFTER A LASER HAIR REMOVAL TREATMENT. To achieve the smoothest results and keep your skin protected, please follow these essential aftercare guidelines over the next 7 to 14 days. 1. Immediate Comfort & Cooling. It is normal for the treated area to feel like a mild sunburn (redness and slight swelling) for 12 to 24 hours. Keep it Cool: Apply a cold compress or a chilled gel pack to the area for 15-minute intervals if you experience heat or sensitivity. 2. Soothe the Skin: Apply pure Aloe Vera gel or a bland, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated. 3. Your hair follicles remain sensitive to heat for at least two days. During this window, please avoid: Hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and hot tubs. Strenuous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. Tight-fitting clothing that may cause friction against the treated area. 4. Swimming in chlorinated pools, saunas, and hot tubs. 5. Sun Protection (Crucial) Treated skin is highly susceptible to hyperpigmentation (dark spots) if exposed to UV rays. SPF 30+: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen to any treated areas exposed to the sun. Avoid Direct Sun: Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for at least two weeks post-treatment. 6. Skincare & Grooming. Hands Off: Do not pick, scratch, or wax the treated area. No Plucking: To ensure the laser can target the follicle in your next session, do not pluck or thread the hair. Shaving is the only recommended method for managing hair between appointments. Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, unscented soap. Avoid active ingredients like Retinols, AHAs/BHAs (glycolic or salicylic acid), or physical scrubs for 5 days. 7. The "Shedding" Phase. You may notice small black "stubble" appearing 7 to 21 days after your session. This is not new growth, but the dead hair pushing out of the follicle. You can gently exfoliate with a soft washcloth in the shower after the first week to help this process along.
DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL HURT? Most patients describe laser hair removal as very tolerable, often comparing the sensation to a quick warm snap or light rubber-band flick against the skin. Sensitivity can vary depending on the treatment area and your individual comfort level. Treatments are typically quick, and any warmth or sensitivity usually subsides shortly after your session. Many patients find that the convenience of long-term hair reduction is well worth the brief discomfort.
HOW MANY LASER HAIR REMOVAL SESSIONS WILL I NEED? Most patients need a series of approximately 6 laser hair removal treatments for optimal hair reduction, which is why our treatment packages include 6 sessions. Hair grows in different cycles, and laser hair removal is most effective when the hair is in its active growth phase. Results vary based on the treatment area, hair type, skin type, hormones, and individual hair-growth patterns. Some patients may benefit from additional treatments or occasional maintenance sessions to maintain their results.
