What should I avoid post-treatment?
Yes, it's crucial to avoid tanning for 4-6 weeks from sun exposure, tanning beds, or chemical tanners before and after your laser treatment. Disclose tanning history before each treatment to avoid skin issues. Please come clean-shaved in the area being treated and avoid plucking, tweezing, or waxing 4 weeks before and during treatments.
Some patients may experience mild discomfort, depending on skin type, sensitivity, and laser. For example, the Clarity II laser uses temperature sensing and advanced skin cooling to improve patient comfort.
Treatment times range from 5 to 20 minutes depending on the area. Side effects are usually mild, such as redness or swelling, and normal activities can be resumed immediately.
The number of sessions needed varies, with some patients seeing immediate results, while others require multiple treatments. On average, 5 treatments may be necessary, depending on factors like age, ethnicity, hormones, and medication. Results take 2-4 weeks post-treatment to show.
Lasers are equipped with cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort. Some patients feel a slight snapping sensation. Anesthetic cream is available if needed. Redness or swelling usually subsides within a few hours.
Laser hair removal is not entirely permanent. Clinical studies show that 92% of patients experience long-term hair loss, with recurring hair being thinner or lighter. Periodic maintenance treatments may be needed.
Avoid hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, intense exercise, plucking, tweezing, waxing, sun tanning, tanning beds, and spray tans after treatment.
