If you are a regular client of waxing but would like to try the more effective laser hair removal, it is best that you do some research first to make sure this is the ideal treatment for you. Here is some important information you should know prior to your first booking:
- It isn’t as painful as it sounds
When the laser hits the skin, many clients report the sensation of a quick sharp pain but many devices include a cooling system which hits the skin with cool air to counteract the pain immediately. It can be more painful on the thinner areas of skin such as the nose, chin and knees but isn’t as painful on the legs, arms and other body parts.
- More than one treatment is required
Although laser hair removal offers amazing semi permanent results, clients may be required to have 3 or 4 treatments to begin with, to ensure you catch all cycles of hair growth. It targets the hairs at the roots and so you need to make sure all follicles have been targeted.
- Avoid the sun
Before and after the treatment it is highly advisable that your lasered skin avoids the sun as the heat can damage your skin. So if you want to remove your body hair before a holiday, you should not book laser hair removal.
- Reduces ingrowing hairs
Shaving can be a problem for people who are prone to ingrowing hairs and so booking a laser hair removal can be beneficial as it encourages returning hairs to grow straighter. It also reduces the irritation on the skin and clients love the smooth and softer skin after a treatment.
- It is suitable for all skin tones
There are different types of laser hair removal making this treatment suitable for all skin tones. You can discuss with your technician who will assess your skin and provide the ideal treatment that is perfect for you for amazing results.
Make sure you do plenty of research and chat to your technician in a professional salon to make the right decision on laser hair removal for you. Transform your appearance with gorgeous results of completely smooth skin for long periods of time.
