Ultimate Guide to Laser Hair Reduction: Everything You Need to Know
Fre you struggling with constantly removing unwanted hair? Do you want permanent reduction or removal of hair on the face or body? Laser hair removal might be the best treatment for you! Below are frequently asked questions about hair reduction laser treatment at White Onyx Medical Weight Loss and Aesthetics of Gardner, Massachusetts.
What is laser hair reduction, and how does it work?
Dr. Elizabeth Tateoka describes laser hair reduction and removal as a cosmetic treatment that uses concentrated beams of light that both target and destroy hair follicles, resulting in long-term reduction or elimination of unwanted hair. This technology is safe, effective, and minimally invasive, making it a popular choice for those seeking smooth, hair-free skin.
What areas can be treated with laser hair reduction?
Laser hair reduction at our office is best used on virtually any body area with unwanted hair growth. This includes more common areas such as the face (upper lip, chin), underarms, legs, bikini line, back, chest, and more. Dr. Tateoka and her team customize each treatment plan based on an individual’s needs and goals.
How does the laser hair reduction and removal process work?
When you consult with our team to determine whether you are a good candidate for treatment, we will advise you on how the process works. Each session is relatively quick and easy. The laser emits pulses of light energy to target hair follicles, which absorb the heat and are ultimately destroyed. The surrounding skin remains unharmed during treatment.
Actual Patient Results
View moreIs laser hair reduction treatment a painful process?
While everyone’s pain tolerance may differ, many patients report minimal discomfort after laser hair reduction. We utilize direct cooling during the procedure to make the experience pain-free, and no numbing cream is required.
How many treatment sessions are needed for optimal results?
The ideal number of sessions for optimal results depends on individual factors, including hair thickness, density, color, and the specific area being treated. Patients looking to reduce hair thickness in an area will need fewer visits than someone seeking full removal. Generally we recommend at least nine treatments for 90-95% hair reduction.
What aftercare recommendation for laser hair removal should be followed to ensure the best results?
Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure you get the best results from your laser hair removal treatment. These may include avoiding direct sunlight, exfoliating regularly, and refraining from using certain products on the treated area. It is critical that you closely follow the instructions provided for optimal results.
