H2 What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal
H2 Laser Hair Removal Candidates*
Laser Hair Removal works best with darker haired patients. Because the primary target in hair follicles is melanin pigment (dark pigment), less laser energy is absorbed by the skin and more by the hair follicle. Tanned skin also “robs” laser energy as it passes through the skin to the hair follicle. Because the pigment in the hair is the target for the laser energy, gray or white hair (which lacks pigment) cannot be effectively treated with any laser or light-based device.
H2 How to Prepare for Your Laser Hair Removal El Paso Appointment
We recommend avoiding waxing, electrolysis, and plucking your hair for at least six weeks before your appointment. These processes remove the roots of your hair for a period of time. You need to keep your hair roots intact so that the laser hair removal process can work effectively. If you remove your hair roots before your appointment, your treatment results could be negatively impacted.
We also recommend avoiding excessive sunlight for six weeks before your treatment. Sun exposure can make your skin ultra-sensitive to the laser we use to remove hair. It can therefore increase your risk of burns, hyperpigmentation, or scarring. If you can’t avoid the sun for six weeks prior to treatment, we recommend always wearing high-quality sunscreen. Look for a product that blocks both UVB and UVA rays. You can also further protect your skin by wearing brimmed hats or loose, long-sleeved clothing.
H2 Laser Hair Removal Aftercare
In addition to avoiding sunlight before treatment, we also recommend staying out of the sun for six weeks after treatment. Your skin will be more sensitive after your laser hair removal El Paso appointment. Preventing sun exposure will help you avoid post-treatment complications such as hyperpigmentation.
For up to two days after treatment, your skin may feel and look sunburned. To soothe any discomfort, keep the skin moisturized and apply cool compresses as needed. Feel free to apply makeup to cover up any embarrassing redness.
H2 Laser Hair Removal Side Effects
Slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn, may occur in some clients. These effects are typically gone within a few hours, however they could last up to 24 hours. In some instances, hyperpigmentation (dark spots) or hypopigmentation (light spots) may occur; although it is very unlikely, if they do occur it is also not permanent.* Your consultant will review with you the potential side effects from Laser Hair Removal, and answer any more questions you may have.
