If you are considering a laser hair removal service, one of the best times of year to get it done is during the fall and winter. That’s because you’re a lot less likely to be wearing shorts or tank tops at this time of year. In fact, you’ve probably already started bundling up in layers. Since it usually takes a few treatments to effectively remove all the hair from an area, it’s a good idea to do it before you break out the swimsuit for the summer.
By the time the warm weather has arrived, you’ll have received several treatments (each one about four weeks apart from the previous session) and you’ll be all ready for the sun and the heat.
If this sounds like a good plan to you, here is everything you need to know about laser hair removal.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a process that targets unwanted hair. It is generally more effective and lasts longer than other types of hair removal, such as shaving or waxing.
The process works by using a concentrated beam of light to target unwanted hair. The light is absorbed by the pigment of the hair and is converted to heat. This heat will damage the hair follicles, so they won’t produce hair. The laser is designed to target the pigment of the hair, leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
Some of the most common questions revolve around the laser hair removal cost. This depends on the situation and the area being treated. Larger areas will take longer to complete and you may need more sessions than you would in a smaller area. Therefore, the cost will depend on your treatment schedule and your situation. The experienced team at Face Amoré can provide you with all the information you need before you start your treatment
Which Areas can be Treated?
The laser hair removal process can effectively get rid of unwanted hair in various parts of the body. This includes the back, legs, arms, chest, underarms, bikini area, face, and many other locations.
The length of the treatment sessions and the number of sessions required will depend on the size of the area as well as the individual. Smaller areas tend to require less time than larger areas. The number of sessions needed will also depend on your skin type, hair color, and much more.
In general, laser hair removal treatments are safe and effective on almost every area of the body, except for around the eyes and eyelids.
How Many Treatments are Needed to See Results?
If you’ve been looking at laser hair removal before and after photos and wondering when you will see similar results. However, as mentioned earlier, it usually takes a few sessions before you see full results.
That’s because the laser targets the hair follicle when it is in its growth stage. Follicles grow at different times, so only some will be in the growth stage when you receive a treatment. To ensure that all follicles in the area are targeted, several treatments are recommended.
For most people, four to seven sessions is recommended, depending on the area you’re targeting and your personal situation. However, these sessions will vary in length and even the longest ones will be relatively short.
The number of sessions is why we advise people to start their laser hair removal treatment program during the colder months, when it’s easier to cover up with long pants or sweaters.
