How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser Hair Removal is a treatment used to reduce unwanted facial and body hair. On average, 70% to 90% of hair is removed after 6 to 8 treatments. Any remaining hair is finer, lighter, and more manageable. Quick and convenient laser hair removal treatments will reduce the annoyance of daily shaving and tweezing.

Blush MediSpas’ Laser Hair Removal works using Dynamic Pulse Control (DPC). Our technicians use a handheld laser unit that emits a concentrated beam, set at a wavelength that targets the melanin in the hair and/or at the follicle growth center (referred to as the hair bulb). Melanin is responsible for determining skin and hair color. The laser beam passes through the skin and is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, damaging the follicle enough to prevent further hair growth ranging from months to years. The final result is smooth, hairless skin.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal Include:

• Reduce unwanted hair on the face and body
• Decrease ingrown hairs 
• Shaving allowed in between sessions
• Minimal to low downtime & discomfort

 Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal is an ideal way to remove hair for an extended period. Anyone seeking smooth, hairless skin without dealing with skin irritation associated with shaving will find that Laser Hair Removal is an ideal option. 

Who is not a good candidate: anybody using Accutane, or has in the last six months, or someone with very dark skin tone. A consultation is a must for first-timers to determine if you are the right candidate. Avoid retinol or photo-sensitive medications one week prior.

 Laser Hair Removal Treatment Areas

Laser Hair Removal can treat any area of the body with unwanted hair. Many people enjoy the precision of it for facial hair in particular. It is also great for reducing unwanted hair in the underarm, leg, arm, and bikini areas. Additional areas include the back, shoulders, buttocks, chest, and feet. If you have unwanted hair anywhere on your body, let us know what you would like to achieve from laser hair removal, and we will help guide you to the best course of treatment.

How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?

It is essential to maintain your treatment schedule every 4-12 weeks, depending on the area, as the hair is on a specific growth cycle. Our state-of-the-art system, along with experienced technicians, allows for highly efficient sessions that last between 10-45 minutes, depending on the area’s size.

How Many Laser Hair Removal Treatments Will I Need?

The average patient begins with six to eight treatments and will see significant results; however, more laser hair removal treatments or maintenance may be required, especially when treating areas on the face or male patients due to hormones.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

When it comes to Laser Hair Removal, the results are typically long-lasting, sometimes for several years. Overall, general hair regrowth will be reduced with treatments, but hair can eventually grow back, though not nearly as thick as before. After initial treatments, many people find that they return for touch-ups six to twelve months following, though these appointments are typically quicker as there is less hair to remove. As treatments continue, most people find significant, long-lasting hair removal, though it varies depending on the person and their hair type.

 Is There Recovery Time?

Most patients have minimal to low downtime after a laser hair removal session. There may be slight redness in the treated area for approximately 2-24 hours following the treatment. During this time, it is advised that patients avoid activity that will increase the skin’s temperature, such as using a steam room, performing a vigorous exercise, and exposing the treated area to the sun unprotected. It is also recommended that patients not undergo any form of hair removal other than shaving during treatment.

 Will Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

Our Laser Hair Removal system offers effective, efficient, and relatively painless solutions to any hair problem. A mild snapping sensation occurs in areas like the arms, legs, and back, with a slightly stronger feeling on more sensitive areas like the upper lip, bikini, underarm, and chest. Once the session is over, there is low to minimal discomfort. 

 What Results Will I See?

The hair will look as if it is growing back after each session but will gradually fall out over a 2-5 week period; this may or may not be a noticeable process. After additional laser hair removal sessions, the reduction will not be as drastic as after the first treatment. However, the hair will steadily get finer, more sparse, and grow more slowly.

Is There Any Downtime?

There’s minimal or no downtime associated with our laser hair removal treatments.
