The Complete Guide to Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular aesthetic treatments worldwide. Here's everything you need to know before your first session.
How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light beams to target hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the light, which destroys the hair without damaging surrounding skin.
Preparing for Your Treatment
- Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks before treatment
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours before
- Avoid waxing or plucking for 4 weeks prior
- Skip self-tanners and spray tans
What to Expect During Treatment
Most patients describe the sensation as a warm snap, similar to a rubber band. Sessions typically last 15-60 minutes depending on the treatment area.
Aftercare Tips
- Apply aloe vera or cooling gel to treated areas
- Avoid hot showers and exercise for 24 hours
- Stay out of direct sunlight
- Use SPF 30+ on treated areas
Results Timeline
Hair falls out over 1-3 weeks post-treatment. Most people need 6-8 sessions for optimal results.
