How Effective Is Laser Hair Removal?

First, it's important to understand that laser hair removal — while it is considered to be a highly effective method of hair removal — can provide different results for different people. This procedure tends to be most effective on people with dark hair and fair skin because the laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair, and it's more difficult to target hair that is light in color or fine. However, the best way to know for sure if laser hair removal is right for you is to schedule a consultation with Body Bar Aesthetics

Additionally, multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve the desired results, and the number of sessions required will vary depending on the individual's hair growth patterns and the area being treated. On average, people can expect to schedule four six sessions, spaced four to eight weeks apart.

How Many Treatments Are Necessary?

Laser hair removal is not a one-time treatment. Multiple sessions are typically needed to achieve the desired results, and the number of sessions required will vary depending on the individual's hair growth patterns and the area being treated. On average, people can expect to schedule four six sessions, spaced four to eight weeks apart.

What Does Laser Hair Removal Feel Like?

Laser hair removal can cause some discomfort or pain, but it varies from person to person and depends on the individual's pain threshold. The sensation is often described as a rubber band snapping against the skin. To minimize discomfort, a cooling gel is typically applied to the treatment area to reduce the heat, or a laser with a cooling device built-in is used. Some people may experience redness, swelling, or itching after the treatment, which typically subsides within a few hours.

What Should I Do After The Appointment?

After a laser hair removal appointment, it's important to take certain precautions to ensure the best results and minimize the risk of side effects. A few things you should do include:

  • Avoiding sun exposure or tanning for at least a week after the treatment

  • Avoiding hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms for at least 24 hours

  • Avoiding shaving, waxing, or other hair removal or exfoliating methods

  • Applying a soothing lotion or aloe vera gel to the treated area to reduce redness and discomfort

  • Follow any additional aftercare instructions provided by our Body Bar Aesthetics team.
