About the Process

The process of laser hair removal is not only safe, but it’s a fast and simple process that can provide long-lasting results. The hair removal device uses a laser to target and destroy hair follicles so that they are unable to regrow. Since hair follicles cycle through periods of growth and dormancy, it’s necessary to schedule a series of laser hair removal sessions in order to target the majority of hair as it transitions between growth phases.

Laser hair removal can drastically reduce or even eliminate hair growth on different areas of the body. It’s safe to use virtually anywhere, except around the eyes. Laser hair removal is a great option for those who want to save time and energy on hair removal methods. It's also ideal to have hair removal done before tattooing in order to eliminate the need for shaving to maintain the smooth appearance of tattoos. That said, laser hair removal should not be performed on skin that is already tattooed as it can distort the appearance of the artwork.
Different methods of laser hair removal make it an effective treatment option for all skin tones and hair colors. Depending on the color of your hair and complexion, you may need more or fewer sessions. Schedule a consultation to learn more about the best laser hair removal options for you.

Preparing for Your Appointment

To ensure that each laser hair removal session is effective and you’re as comfortable as possible, we recommend taking a few steps to prepare for your appointment.

  • Avoid sun exposure. Sunburn can make treatments more uncomfortable. Treatments can also make your skin more sensitive right after your session.
  • Don’t use tanning products. The higher contrast between your skin and hair, the more effective the treatment will be.
  • Avoid plucking or waxing. Don’t pluck or wax at least four weeks before your appointment. Otherwise, the laser doesn’t have a hair shaft to target.
  • Don’t use blood thinners. Talk to your doctor if you take blood thinning medication and avoid OTC products like aspirin.
  • Shave the treatment area. This removes excess hair to prevent burning your skin while preserving the hair shaft.

After your laser hair removal session, your skin may be sensitive, red, and swollen. You may apply ice to reduce discomfort. Avoid tanning beds and direct sunlight afterwards, and use a full-spectrum SPF 30 sunscreen daily to avoid sunburn.
At Affinity Dermatology, we offer laser hair removal treatment options so we can find the best solution for you. Contact us today to schedule a consultation.

IPL Treatment

Another great option for laser hair removal that we offer at Affinity Dermatology is IPL treatment. IPL (intense pulsed light) treatment is also effective at removing facial and body hair, as well as addressing other skin concerns.

IPL treatment differs from other laser hair removal treatments because it releases light at different wavelengths, targeting deeper layers of skin without damaging the top layer. Get more information about IPL treatments, and schedule a consultation with our team.
