PAIN FREE Laser Hair Removal Facts and Questions
Click on a question below to view the answer:
Q. What areas can be treated?
A. Anywhere the body grows hair may be treated. We routinely perform the procedure to remove hair from the lips, chin, face, back, underarms, bikini, legs, and chest.
Q. What are the limitations of the procedure?
A. LASER Hair Removal will not work on blonde, white or gray hair. It is most successful with darkly pigmented hair such as black.
Q. Is it really pain free?
A. Yes it really is pain free. O'Leigh MedSpa & LASER Hair Center has obtained the latest in LASER hair removal technology to provide this revolutionary procedure. We have treated many skeptical clients who have previously experienced painful LASER hair removal treatments and they are often surprised at the ease of the treatment. Now, PAIN FREE does not mean you won't experience any sensations such as tingling, but it is not painful.
Q. How many treatments are required?
A. LASER hair removal only works on actively growing hair follicles. Not all hair is actively growing at the same time and therefore a series of 6-8 treatments are required to achieve the desired result.
Q. What is the interval between treatments?
A. Treatments are typically given at 4-6 week intervals.
Q. Is laser hair removal permanent?
A. The following is the truth about LASER hair removal. After 6-8 treatments, approximately 85-90% of people will achieve about an 80% permanent reduction in their hair growth. There is the occasional client who is resistant to LASER hair removal
Q. How long are the treatments?
A. Of course this depends on the area being treated. Typically a small area such as the lip or chin will take about 15 minutes and a larger area such as the back will last approximately 30 minutes.
Q. Will I need any further treatments once I complete my treatments?
A. Some people experience hair regrowth after their series of treatments. O'Leigh MedSpa and LASER Hair Center recognizes this and offers 4 FREE touch-ups during the 2 years following the completion of a series of 10 treatments.
Q. Do I need to do anything special before my treatment?
A. We ask that you shave the area to be treated 1-3 days before your appointment so that the hair is just visible. By doing this we will be able to target the area you desire to be treated.
Q. Do I need to do anything special between my treatments?
A. The LASER works by targeting hair follicles, therefore, you cannot remove the hair by plucking, tweezing, waxing, or using electrolysis during your treatment sessions. You may shave any of the areas between your treatments as this does not remove the hair follicle.
Q. What do I do after my treatment?
A.
Apply a moisturizer such as aloe vera to soothe the skin for a few days. 2 - 3 weeks after your treatment you will notice shedding of all treated areas. To remove this hair we recommend that you scrub the area in the shower with a loofa. You may also notice what is referred to as “pepperspots”, little black dots that appear to be stuck in the skin. These will eventually fall out.
Q. Are there any risks involved with the procedure?
A. LASER hair removal is incredibly safe, however, as with any medical procedure, there are risks. Occasionally a client will experience redness or swelling at the treated area. This usually subsides in 1 or 2 days. There have also been reports of skin burns, blistering, and changes in skin tone (lighter or darker).
Q. How much does pain free laser cost?
A. We do not list our prices on our site because many factors determine the cost of treatment, including the size of the area to be treated, anticipated number of treatments, and the amount of hair present in the treatment area. We guarantee that our prices are similar (and many times less) to other local LASER hair removal centers. We also offer a truly unbeatable touch up policy - 4 free touch ups in a 24 month period following the completion of 10 treatments to one body area.
