WHAT IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL?

Laser hair removal targets hair follicles, effectively destroying them and leaving your skin without unwanted hair.

The technology works using highly concentrated light energy that emits light in short pulses. The technology behind laser hair removal works in a similar way to how natural sunlight is attracted to darker clothing. Similarly, the energy from the laser is attracted to the pigment of the hair. Due to this, the ideal candidate is someone with fair skin and dark hair, which creates a contrast, making it easier for the laser to see and destroy the hair follicles. That being said, people without light skin and dark hair are still good candidates for this treatment and can achieve optimal results. At SKINthetics, we use the Cutra Excel HR 755nm Wavelength machine which is the gold standard for laser hair removal. This device also has contact cooling to minimize discomfort.

FAQ'S

PRE TREATMENT CARE

4 WEEKS PRIOR

Stop any waxing, plucking, tweezing, threading, chemical epilation, micro-needling, etc. due to the disruption of the hair follicle, which is the target for the laser.

2 WEEKS PRIOR

Avoid sun exposure greater than 30 minutes, even if wearing sunscreen. Stop use of (AHA/BHA) products, hydroquinone, retinol and salicylic acid washes.

1 DAY PRIOR

The treatment area must be clean-shaven 12-24 hours prior to treatment. Unshaven clients will be rescheduled. Razors are not provided in the clinics.

DAY OF TREATMENT

Skin must be clean and free of makeup, lotions, oils, deodorant, sunless tanning products, numbing cream, etc.

POST TREATMENT CARE

DAY OF TREATMENT

Mild redness and swelling of the hair follicles may occur. This is normal. Avoid picking or scratching the skin and follicles. Cool cloths can be applied. Sun exposure must be avoided.

1 WEEK AFTER TREATMENT

Exfoliate the treatment areas 2-3 times a week. This minimizes the risk of ingrown hair and encourages the shedding of treated hair. Sun exposure is still recommended to be avoided.

2 WEEKS AFTER TREATMENT

Shedding of treated hair continues. Note that this is not new hair growth. Continue to exfoliate 2-3 times a week. Sun exposure can be resumed with sunscreen.
