How Does the Laser Hair Removal Process Work?
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic treatment that offers long-lasting results for removing unwanted hair. At Oxyderm Laser Clinic in Edmonton, we use advanced laser technology to provide safe and effective hair removal.
Here is a step-by-step process of how laser hair removal works:
Step 1: Consultation
Before beginning the laser hair removal process, you will have a consultation with one of our certified laser technicians. During this consultation, we will assess your skin and hair type to determine the most effective laser settings for your unique needs.
Step 2: Preparation
On the day of your treatment, we will ask you to shave the area to be treated to ensure that the laser energy can penetrate the hair follicle effectively. We will also apply a cooling gel to the skin to help protect it from the laser’s heat.
Step 3: Treatment
During the laser hair removal treatment, our technician will use a handheld laser device to target the hair follicles. The laser emits a highly concentrated beam of light, which is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle. This heat destroys the follicle and prevents future hair growth.
Step 4: Aftercare
After the laser hair removal treatment, we will apply a cooling gel to soothe the skin and reduce redness or irritation. You should avoid sun exposure and strenuous activities for a few days following the treatment.
Step 5: Follow-up sessions
Laser hair removal is most effective when performed in a series of sessions, usually spaced a few weeks apart. This allows the hair follicles to enter the growth phase when they are most susceptible to the laser energy.
By following this step-by-step process, Oxyderm Laser Clinic in Edmonton can provide safe and effective laser hair removal services.
