So here we thought we answer all of the most common asked questions around the treatment, with some tips and tricks so you feel confident in booking if your course.
How does Laser hair Removal work?
It is the use of a soft burst of light which penetrates the hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorb the light which then prevents further growth of the hair. After repeated this process over a course of time the hairs will stop the hair growth in the targeted area, leaving you with a smooth soft surface, completely hair free.
At Cedar Therapy we use the Alma Soprano Titanium machine, this is the no.1 brand for laser hair removal. So, you can be assured you will be receiving the best quality service on the market.
What do I do before my laser hair removal appointment?
Before your first appointment we will invite you to the salon for a consultation appointment. This is when we will discuss the area that you want to target, whilst looking at the hair type to decide the correct machine settings to use. We will text a very small area to ensure that you have no reactions before the first full session.
Before all following laser sessions here are a few things to remember.
- Do not wax or tweeze before or after you have started your course.
- Shake the target area before your session.
- Stay out of the sun 2 weeks before or after your laser session, or your skin can become pigmented.
- Bring along some loose fitted clothing for after your appointment.
Things to know about after your laser appointment.
- Hair will begin to fall out anywhere between 3-30 days after your session.
- Immediately after the treatment you can expect redness around the area, which can last several hours.
- You can exfoliate the area after the treatment; however hairs should not be forced out before they are ready.
- Try to stay out of the sun for the following weeks after your treatment, however if this is not possible ensure that the area is protected with strong SPF.
How many laser hair treatments will I need?
The number of treatments will vary between hair type as well as skin type. The usual number is between 6-9 treatments however as we move through the course we will discuss re-growth and alter number of sessions needed based on results.
The key here is to be patient. Don’t expect to go to your appointment and see instant results, it is a long prosses and varies for everyone.
Where on my body can I get laser done?
You can get it done anywhere on your body. The specialist machine we have enables us to get into the smallest spaces with the different heads we have available. From your face to your lower leg, there really isn’t an area we can not target.
