Before & After: Laser Hair Removal
How does laser hair removal work?
During your laser hair removal treatment, bright flashes of light are emitted onto the skin where the unwanted hair grows utilizing a device called Cynosure® Elite+™. This innovative dual-wavelength system directly targets the pigment (or melanin) in your hair follicles. As the pigment absorbs the light energy, the targeted hair is safely and effectively destroyed, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Am I a candidate for laser hair removal?
Atlanta residents of all skin types and tones can benefit from laser hair removal with our advanced laser technology. While laser hair removal was originally more impactful for people with lighter skin and darker hair, more recent developments in the technology allow for effectively treating patients of all skin types, tones, and hair colors now.
How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?
It typically takes four to eight laser hair removal sessions, each scheduled four to six weeks apart, to experience the hair reduction results patients desire due to your hair follicles being at different stages of growth at any given time.
How should I prepare for my laser hair removal treatment?
We recommend you refrain from waxing or plucking the desired treatment area for about six weeks before your appointment. The laser targets pigment in the roots of your hair, so waxing and plucking may cause treatment to be less effective. Additionally, you’ll need to avoid any prolonged sun exposure for about six weeks before your treatment as it can interfere with the laser’s effectiveness and increase the risk for some side effects.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
For most people, laser hair removal isn’t very painful, often compared to a rubberband snap, but the treatment area will likely feel tender and appear slightly red for about 24-48 hours. You’ll want to avoid any prolonged sun exposure for a few weeks following treatment and use sunscreen regularly if you’re going to be outside. Most people resume their usual activities when their session is complete.
When will I notice results from my laser hair removal treatment?
It usually takes around two to three weeks after the first treatment session to notice a difference in hair growth. The full results typically happen a few weeks after your last session, depending on the size of the area being treated and the amount of hair growth.
