What to Expect during a Laser Hair Removal Session?
A laser Hair removal Session is a relatively quick and straightforward process. Here's a breakdown of what you can typically expect:
Preparation:
Before the session begins, the technician will thoroughly clean and shave the treatment area. This ensures optimal laser contact with the hair follicles. They will likely ask you to wear protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser beam. A topical anesthetic cream may be applied to minimize discomfort, especially for sensitive areas.
The Treatment:
The technician will use a handheld laser device to deliver targeted pulses of light to your skin. The laser beam heats up the pigment (melanin) within the hair follicles, damaging them and hindering future hair growth. The sensation during treatment is often described as a warm prickling or snapping sensation. The size of the treatment area and your individual pain tolerance will determine the length of the session, but it typically takes just a few minutes for smaller areas and up to an hour for larger areas like the back or legs.
