Full Body Laser Hair Removal
Hair grows on most parts of the body, including some unwanted areas. There is a way to help banish unwanted hair, leaving skin smooth and feeling beautiful. Full body laser hair removal is an effective and safe way to reduce unwanted hair on the body. This process is safe for all skin tones, ethnicities and body parts.
What is needed to prepare for full body laser hair removal?
For the procedure to be effective, there are some things the hair and skin need before the procedure. It is necessary to avoid threading, waxing and tweezing, as well as bleaching the hair. Though it is possible to shave before and in between treatments, many notice the hair starts to fall out on its own in a couple of weeks after the initial treatment.
The skin does need a break from the sun in the weeks leading up to the procedure. This includes being exposed to the sun for extended periods of time or using a tanning booth. This is because tanned skin — real or fake — does not cooperate with full body laser hair removal treatment.
Because some medications may affect the procedure, it is imperative to speak with the clinic specialist about any medications — prescribed or over the counter — before scheduling treatment.
Is there any pain?
Laser hair removal uses blasts of light energy to destroy the hair follicles. Using this technique, it is possible to target unwanted hair, making it thinner and slower growing. For many, this procedure is rather painless, outside of a little discomfort during and right after the procedure. Discomfort may vary on how sensitive the area where the procedure is targeting.
How fast is the treatment?
Full body laser hair removal will take more time than just have the procedure done on a specific part of the body. However, this is still a quick procedure that, depending on the amount of hair, can be done in an hour or two.
What parts of the body are included?
Laser hair removal can be used to remove hair from anywhere on the body. It is safe and effective, making it possible to be used on the body from head to toe.
How many treatments are needed?
Though most see immediately results, it does take several sessions to achieve complete hair removal. This process does require a short-term commitment from the client, in order to achieve long-term results.
What results does full body laser hair removal offer?
Once the hair is gone, it is gone for good. There will be no in-grown hairs or stubble. Plus, there is no risk of razor rash. Being that full body laser hair removal offers long-term results, it helps save time and money.
What type of aftercare needs to be done?
It is best to avoid perfumed products, such as shower gels, deodorants, lotions and oils for at least a couple of days after the full body laser hair removal treatment. It is also best to avoid fake tanning for a couple of days post-treatment. If there is some redness of the skin after the treatment, it is possible to wear mineral make-up to cover it up. Products to avoid for at least a week after the procedure include those with exfoliating beads and retinol.
When scheduling an appointment for full body laser hair removal it is best to schedule a consultation with the practitioner who will be doing the procedure. He or she will be able to discuss any concerns and give instructions on what to do before, in between and after treatments.
