How to prepare yourself for laser hair removal?
What are the contradictions to laser hair removal procedure?
Does laser hair removal work on blonde hair?
Laser can’t differentiate blond, red or grey hair from the surrounding tissue. Laser hair removal works by preferentially targeting the melanin in hair follicles. As a result, patients with high-color contrasts, such as those with dark hair and light skin, tend to respond best to treatment.
How long does one laser hair removal session take?
Depending on the size of the area from which the hair is removed – the procedure lasts from 5 minutes (in case of moustache or sideburns hair removal) to 90 minutes (in case of full body hair removal) First visit in our salon is prolonged by 15 minutes, which are used for preliminary survey allowing to asses presence of permanent contradictions.
Is a single session enough to obtain satisfying effect?
Single session allows to permanently remove about 15 – 30 % of hair – depending on how much hair is in growth phase (anagen) when the procedure is performed. 6 – 8 cycles should be performed at 6 weeks intervals in order to obtain the effect of reducing the amount of hair by 70-95%. This will allow the laser beam to act on bigger number of follicles in growth phase and permanently deprive them of the ability to produce new hair.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Certainly laser hair removal doesn’t hurt as much as waxing or electric epilators. The level of discomfort experienced during laser hair removal depends on individual pain tolerance, but since the treatment is quick even the most sensitive person can undergo the treatment. In order to ensure the highest level of comfort during the treatments at our clinics we use cooling compresses, reducing any remaining feeling of discomfort.
