Laser hair removal is a popular and effective method for achieving smooth, hair-free skin. At the Medical Aesthetic Center, our professional and highly skilled team is dedicated to helping you achieve your desired results. Here’s what you need to know about the process and how to prepare for your treatment.

What to Expect

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in hair follicles with concentrated light energy, effectively reducing hair growth. The procedure is relatively quick, with sessions typically lasting from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild pinprick or the snap of a rubber band against the skin.

You can expect a reduction in hair growth after each session, with optimal results typically seen after six to eight treatments. It’s important to note that laser hair removal works best on dark hair and may be less effective on light, red, or gray hair.

How to Prepare

1. Avoid Sun Exposure: Limit sun exposure and avoid tanning for at least four weeks before your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects.
   
2. Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment. This helps the laser target hair follicles more effectively.
   
3. Avoid Plucking and Waxing: Refrain from plucking, waxing, or using depilatory creams for at least four weeks before your treatment. These methods remove the hair follicle, which is needed for the laser to work.
   
4. Clean Skin: Ensure the treatment area is clean and free of lotions, creams, and makeup on the day of your appointment.
   
5. Discuss Medications: Inform your technician about any medications you are taking, as some may increase sensitivity to light.
