How does laser hair removal work?
A laser targets the hair in the follicle. Everyone in the room wears eye protection.
What does it feel like?
Many people say the pulses feel like warm pinpricks or a rubber band snapping against the skin. A numbing gel can help on small, sensitive areas.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need a series, usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Results can be seen anywhere from two to six or more sessions.
How long do results last?
Most people stay hair-free for months or even years. Hair that grows back tends to be finer and lighter, and touch-up sessions may be needed.
What are the side effects?
The most common side effects are minor and usually last 1–3 days:
- Discomfort
- Redness, often like a mild sunburn
- Swelling
- Rarely: blistering, cold sores, infection, scarring, or skin color changes
How should I prepare?
- Don’t tan, indoors or out, and skip sunless tanner
- Skip tight-fitting clothing; wear loose clothing over the treated area
- Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ every day
- Tell your provider about a recent tan, cold sores, keloids, or a tendency to scar
- Tell your provider about medicines, including isotretinoin
What’s the aftercare?
- Keep treated skin out of direct sun
- No tanning beds or sun lamps
- A cool compress can ease discomfort
Is it right for my skin and hair?
It has traditionally suited light skin with dark hair most, but today it’s also an option for darker skin and some lighter hair. Your provider will check your skin and hair at your consultation.
