What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal
Treatment sessions are quick and efficient
You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation
No significant downtime is required
Multiple sessions are recommended for optimal results
Hair grows in cycles, which is why treatments are spaced several weeks apart to target follicles at the right stage.
Why Laser Hair Removal?
For many people, unwanted hair is more than just a cosmetic concern—it can affect confidence, consume valuable time, and become a constant source of frustration. Between daily shaving, frequent waxing appointments, ingrown hairs, razor burn, and skin irritation, traditional hair removal methods often become expensive, inconvenient, and uncomfortable over time.
Laser hair removal offers a smarter, more efficient solution by targeting the source of hair growth rather than simply removing hair at the surface. Instead of shaving every morning or scheduling monthly waxing appointments, laser treatments gradually reduce hair growth over time, allowing many clients to enjoy smoother skin with significantly less maintenance.
Save Time Every Week
Think about how much time you spend shaving over the course of a year. For many women, shaving legs, underarms, and bikini areas several times each week adds up to dozens of hours annually. Men who shave their neck or beard line frequently experience similar maintenance.
Laser hair removal dramatically reduces the need for constant shaving, allowing you to spend less time maintaining unwanted hair and more time enjoying your everyday life.
Say Goodbye to Ingrown Hairs
Ingrown hairs occur when hair becomes trapped beneath the surface of the skin, leading to painful bumps, inflammation, discoloration, and sometimes infection. These are especially common after shaving or waxing areas such as the bikini line, underarms, neck, chest, and face.
Because laser hair removal reduces hair growth at the follicle, many clients notice a significant improvement in ingrown hairs after only a few treatments.
Reduce Razor Burn and Irritation
Frequent shaving often causes:
Razor burn
Skin sensitivity
Small cuts
Dark shaving shadow
Dryness
Irritation
Laser hair removal helps eliminate the repetitive trauma caused by razors, allowing skin to appear smoother and healthier over time.
Long-Term Cost Savings
Although laser hair removal requires an initial investment, many clients are surprised by how much money they spend on temporary hair removal over the years.
Consider the ongoing costs of:
Razors
Shaving cream
Waxing appointments
Depilatory creams
Aftercare products
Time away from work or home
Over a lifetime, these expenses often exceed the cost of laser hair removal while providing only temporary results.
More Confidence Every Day
Many clients tell us that laser hair removal has improved their confidence just as much as their appearance. Whether it's wearing shorts without shaving first, feeling comfortable at the gym, enjoying a spontaneous beach day, or no longer worrying about facial hair, laser hair removal provides freedom that many people haven't experienced in years.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal uses highly concentrated light energy to selectively target the pigment (melanin) found within the hair follicle. This process, known as selective photothermolysis, allows the laser to damage the follicle while minimizing injury to the surrounding skin.
When the laser emits energy, the dark pigment inside the hair absorbs the light and converts it into heat. That heat travels down the hair shaft and into the follicle, disrupting its ability to produce new hair. Over time, treated follicles become less active, resulting in slower, finer, and less noticeable hair growth.
One of the greatest advantages of laser hair removal is that it treats hair beneath the surface of the skin. Unlike shaving, which only removes visible hair, laser technology addresses the follicle itself—the structure responsible for producing future hair.
Why Multiple Treatments Are Needed
Not every hair is actively growing at the same time. Hair naturally cycles through different growth phases, and laser energy is most effective during the active growth stage.
Since only a percentage of your hairs are treatable during each visit, multiple treatments are necessary to gradually reduce hair growth as additional follicles enter the active phase.
Most clients require a series of treatments spaced approximately six to eight weeks apart depending on the treatment area and individual hair growth patterns.
What Happens to the Hair?
Following treatment, the hair does not immediately disappear. Instead, it gradually sheds over the following one to three weeks. Many clients mistake this shedding for continued growth, but it is actually the treated hair being naturally expelled from the follicle.
With each successive treatment, the hair generally becomes:
Finer
Lighter
Softer
Less dense
Slower to return
Eventually, many follicles stop producing visible hair altogether, leaving smoother skin with significantly less maintenance.
Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle
One of the most common questions we hear is:
"If the laser works so well, why do I need multiple treatments?"
The answer lies in the natural hair growth cycle.
Every individual hair on your body progresses through three different phases of growth, and laser hair removal is most effective when the follicle is in its active growing stage.
Anagen Phase (Active Growth)
The anagen phase is when the hair is actively growing and remains connected to the blood supply that nourishes the follicle. Because the hair contains the highest concentration of melanin during this stage, laser energy is able to travel efficiently down the hair shaft into the follicle.
This is the ideal time for treatment and when the laser can achieve the greatest reduction in future hair growth.
Catagen Phase (Transition)
During the catagen phase, the hair begins separating from the follicle and stops actively growing. Because the connection between the hair and follicle is weakening, laser treatments become less effective.
Some hairs treated during this phase may still respond, but results are generally not as predictable as during anagen.
Telogen Phase (Resting)
In the resting phase, the old hair remains within the follicle before eventually shedding naturally. At this stage, there is very little connection between the visible hair and the follicle itself, making laser treatment significantly less effective.
Eventually, the follicle enters a new anagen phase and begins producing another hair, which is why future laser sessions are scheduled several weeks apart.
Why Treatments Are Spaced 6–8 Weeks Apart
Only a portion of your hair is in the active growth phase during any given appointment. By waiting six to eight weeks between sessions, additional follicles naturally transition into anagen, allowing us to effectively target new groups of hairs with each treatment.
This gradual approach is what leads to the smooth, long-lasting reduction in hair growth that laser hair removal is known for.
Rather than expecting immediate permanent results after a single visit, think of laser hair removal as a progressive process. Each treatment builds upon the previous one, gradually reducing the number of active follicles until only minimal maintenance is needed.
What to Expect During Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
If you're considering laser hair removal for the first time, it's completely normal to wonder what your appointment will be like. At Denver Dream Medspa, we believe informed clients feel more confident and comfortable throughout their treatment journey. From your initial consultation through your final maintenance session, our team is committed to providing a safe, personalized, and comfortable experience.
Step 1: Your Consultation
Every treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation. During this appointment, we'll discuss:
Your treatment goals
Medical history
Medications
Previous laser treatments
Hair removal methods
Skin concerns
Hormonal conditions such as PCOS
Sun exposure and tanning history
We'll also evaluate your skin tone, hair color, hair thickness, and the areas you'd like treated to determine whether laser hair removal is the right solution for you.
Step 2: Preparing Your Skin
Before treatment begins, the treatment area will be cleansed to remove makeup, lotion, deodorant, sunscreen, or oils that could interfere with the laser.
If needed, the area may be shaved immediately before treatment to ensure the laser energy reaches the hair follicle beneath the skin rather than burning visible hair above the surface.
Step 3: Protective Eyewear
Because laser light is extremely bright, both you and your provider will wear specialized protective eyewear throughout the procedure to safeguard your eyes.
Step 4: Your Laser Treatment
The laser handpiece is placed directly against the skin while short pulses of laser energy target the hair follicles.
Most clients describe the sensation as:
A quick rubber-band snap
Mild warmth
Small pinches
Brief bursts of heat
Thanks to advanced cooling technology, treatments are generally well tolerated without the need for numbing cream.
Treatment times vary depending on the size of the area being treated.
Step 5: Immediately After Treatment
Following your session, the treated skin may appear:
Slightly pink
Warm
Mildly swollen around the follicles
These reactions are completely normal and usually resolve within several hours to a couple of days.
Step 6: Home Care
Before leaving, we'll review your personalized aftercare instructions and answer any questions you may have.
Most clients return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment while avoiding excessive heat, direct sun exposure, and vigorous exercise for the first 24 hours.
Laser Hair Removal Treatment Areas
One of the greatest advantages of laser hair removal is its versatility. Whether you're treating a small facial area or seeking full-body hair reduction, our advanced laser technology can safely treat many parts of the body.

Less odor retention
Less shaving
Reduced irritation
Smoother skin
Fewer dark underarm shadows
Facial Laser Hair Removal
We commonly treat:
Upper lip
Chin
Sideburns
Jawline

Happy Trail
During your consultation, we'll help determine the best treatment plan based on your goals and desired treatment areas.
Laser Hair Removal for Women
Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic treatments for women because it offers a long-term solution to unwanted hair while reducing the daily burden of shaving and waxing.
Whether you're preparing for summer, simplifying your beauty routine, or managing unwanted facial hair caused by hormonal changes, laser hair removal can help you feel more confident in your skin.
Women commonly seek treatment for:
Underarms
Brazilian
Bikini line
Legs
Upper lip
Chin
Jawline
Neck
Arms
Stomach
Many women also choose laser hair removal to reduce razor burn, ingrown hairs, and the skin irritation that often accompanies frequent shaving.
Hormonal Hair Growth
Hormonal fluctuations caused by conditions such as PCOS, pregnancy, menopause, or certain medications can contribute to increased hair growth.
Although laser hair removal cannot eliminate the underlying hormonal cause, it can significantly reduce unwanted hair and make ongoing maintenance much easier.
During your consultation, we'll discuss your medical history and develop a realistic treatment plan based on your individual needs.
Laser Hair Removal for Men
Laser hair removal is no longer just for women. In fact, more men than ever are choosing laser treatments to reduce unwanted body hair, improve athletic performance, minimize razor bumps, and simplify grooming.
Popular treatment areas include:
Back
Chest
Shoulders
Beard line
Neck
Abdomen
Arms
Legs
Beard Line Treatments
Men who experience razor bumps, ingrown hairs, or chronic neck irritation often choose beard line laser hair removal.
By reducing hair density, laser treatments can significantly improve comfort while creating a cleaner neckline.
Athletic Performance
Swimmers, cyclists, runners, bodybuilders, and other athletes frequently choose laser hair removal because it simplifies grooming while reducing irritation from shaving.
Professional Appearance
Many professionals appreciate the convenience of smoother skin with less maintenance, especially when treating the neck, beard line, chest, or back.
Our customized approach allows men to reduce hair density naturally without necessarily removing all hair, depending on their desired outcome.
Laser Hair Removal for PCOS & Hormonal Hair Growth
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal conditions affecting women and is a frequent cause of unwanted facial and body hair. Elevated androgen levels can stimulate excess hair growth on the face, chin, neck, chest, abdomen, and other areas, often making daily shaving, tweezing, or waxing frustrating and emotionally exhausting.
While laser hair removal does not treat PCOS itself, it can be an incredibly effective way to manage unwanted hair growth and improve confidence. By targeting active hair follicles over a series of treatments, laser hair removal can significantly reduce the amount, thickness, and visibility of hair, making ongoing maintenance much easier.
Because hormonal conditions can continue to stimulate new follicles over time, clients with PCOS often benefit from occasional maintenance treatments after completing their initial series. During your consultation, we'll discuss realistic expectations and create a treatment plan tailored to your skin type, hair characteristics, and long-term goals.
Many of our Denver clients with PCOS tell us that laser hair removal has reduced the time they spend shaving each week and has helped improve their confidence in both personal and professional settings. Whether you're treating facial hair, underarms, abdomen, or other hormonally influenced areas, our team is here to provide compassionate, individualized care using advanced medical-grade technology.
Laser Hair Removal Timeline and Results
Laser hair removal is a progressive treatment rather than a one-time procedure. Each appointment targets a new group of hairs as they enter the active growth phase, which is why results become more noticeable over a series of treatments.
Your individual timeline will depend on your treatment area, hair density, hair color, skin tone, hormones, medications, and consistency with appointments. Some clients notice changes after their first session, while others require several treatments before the reduction becomes visually significant.
After Your First Treatment
Within approximately one to three weeks, treated hairs may begin to shed. This can sometimes look like continued hair growth, but the hairs are often being pushed out of the follicles.
You may notice:
Slower hair growth
Small patches with less regrowth
Hair shedding in the shower
A longer interval before shaving is needed
Less irritation in the treated area
Your first session begins the process, but most of the hair will not disappear immediately because only a portion of the follicles were in the active growth phase during treatment.
After Two to Three Treatments
By the second or third appointment, many clients begin noticing more obvious changes in the density and texture of their hair.
Hair may become:
Finer
Softer
More scattered
Slower to return
Easier to shave
You may also begin seeing patchy regrowth. This is a normal and encouraging sign that some follicles have responded while others are entering a treatable phase for future sessions.
Clients treating areas prone to razor bumps or ingrown hairs may notice that their skin looks calmer as fewer coarse hairs return.
After Four to Six Treatments
This is often when the most meaningful reduction becomes visible. Many clients find that they are shaving much less frequently and that the remaining hair is thinner and less noticeable.
At this stage, you may experience:
Significant reduction in overall hair density
Fewer ingrown hairs
Less shaving-related irritation
Smoother-looking skin
Longer periods between shaving
More confidence wearing clothing that exposes the treated area
Your provider will continue assessing how your skin and hair respond and may adjust treatment settings when appropriate.
After Completing Your Initial Series
Many clients complete an initial series of approximately six to eight treatments. Some areas may need additional sessions, especially when the hair is hormonally influenced, very dense, or resistant.
The goal is long-term hair reduction rather than a guarantee that every follicle will permanently stop producing hair. Remaining hair is often lighter, finer, and easier to manage.
Maintenance Treatments
Even after an excellent initial response, occasional maintenance treatments may be recommended. Hormonal changes, aging, pregnancy, menopause, certain medications, and medical conditions can stimulate new hair growth over time.
Maintenance schedules vary. Some clients return once or twice per year, while others may need more frequent treatment for hormonally influenced areas such as the chin, jawline, and neck.
Consistency is one of the most important factors in achieving the best possible result. Attending appointments at the recommended intervals helps ensure that new groups of actively growing follicles are treated at the appropriate time.
How to Prepare for Laser Hair Removal
Proper preparation helps protect your skin and allows the laser energy to reach the hair follicle more effectively. Your provider will give you personalized instructions based on your skin, medications, and treatment area.
Shave Before Your Appointment
The treatment area should generally be shaved approximately 12 to 24 hours before your appointment unless your provider gives you different instructions.
Shaving removes hair above the surface while leaving the follicle intact beneath the skin. This allows the laser to target the pigment inside the follicle without wasting energy on long surface hair.
Avoid shaving immediately before your visit if doing so causes significant redness or irritation.
Stop Waxing, Tweezing, and Epilating
Avoid waxing, tweezing, threading, sugaring, and using an epilator for approximately four weeks before treatment.
These methods remove hair from the follicle. Because the laser needs pigment inside the follicle to work effectively, removing the root can make the treatment less successful.
You may continue shaving between appointments.
Avoid Tanning and Excessive Sun Exposure
Avoid intentional tanning, tanning beds, and prolonged unprotected sun exposure before your appointment. Recently tanned skin may contain more pigment, which can increase the risk of irritation, burns, or unwanted pigmentation changes.
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed treatment areas and let your provider know about any recent sun exposure.
Discontinue Self-Tanner
Self-tanning products should be fully removed before treatment. Artificial pigment on the skin can interfere with the laser's ability to distinguish between the hair and surrounding tissue.
Stop applying self-tanner far enough in advance that the color has completely faded before your appointment.
Review Medications and Skin Products
Tell your provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter products, supplements, antibiotics, and topical treatments you use.
Some medications and skincare ingredients can increase photosensitivity or make the skin more reactive.
Depending on the treatment area, you may be instructed to temporarily stop products containing:
Retinoids
Retinol
Glycolic acid
Salicylic acid
Benzoyl peroxide
Exfoliating acids
Prescription acne treatments
Do not stop a prescribed medication without guidance from the prescribing healthcare professional.
Arrive With Clean Skin
The treatment area should be clean and free from:
Lotion
Body oil
Makeup
Deodorant
Perfume
Sunscreen
Numbing cream unless approved
Self-tanner
These products may interfere with treatment or increase skin sensitivity.
Laser Hair Removal Aftercare
Most clients can resume regular daily activities immediately following laser hair removal. However, the skin may be temporarily sensitive, so following proper aftercare is important.
What You May Notice After Treatment
Temporary reactions may include:
Redness
Mild swelling
Warmth
Tenderness
Small raised bumps around the follicles
A mild sunburn-like sensation
These effects are usually temporary and commonly improve within several hours to a few days.
Keep the Skin Cool
A cool compress may be used to soothe warmth or sensitivity. Avoid applying ice directly to the skin.
Your provider may recommend a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer or soothing product based on the treatment area.
Avoid Heat and Heavy Exercise
For approximately 24 to 48 hours, avoid activities that create excessive heat or friction, including:
Hot showers
Saunas
Steam rooms
Hot tubs
Heated fitness classes
Intense workouts
Excessive sweating
Heat can increase redness and irritation while the skin is recovering.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Protect the treated area from direct sun exposure. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with an appropriate SPF on exposed skin and reapply as directed.
Sun protection is particularly important because recently treated skin can be more vulnerable to pigmentation changes.
Do Not Wax or Tweeze Between Sessions
Continue shaving as needed, but do not wax, tweeze, thread, sugar, or epilate between treatments. Removing the root can interfere with the effectiveness of your next session.
Allow the Hair to Shed Naturally
Treated hairs may shed during the first one to three weeks. Avoid aggressively scrubbing, pulling, or tweezing them.
Once the skin is calm, gentle exfoliation may help release shedding hairs, but only follow the schedule recommended by your provider.
Avoid Harsh Products
For facial or sensitive treatment areas, temporarily avoid:
Retinoids
Exfoliating acids
Scrubs
Strong acne products
Fragranced products
Chemical peels
Resume active skincare only after the skin has returned to normal and according to your provider's instructions.
Contact the clinic if you experience a reaction that is severe, worsening, or different from what was discussed during your appointment.
Laser Hair Removal Risks and Safety
Laser hair removal is generally well tolerated when performed by a trained professional using appropriate technology and settings. However, every cosmetic procedure carries potential risks, and individual responses can vary.
Common Temporary Reactions
The most common reactions are mild and temporary. These may include:
Redness
Swelling around the follicles
Warmth
Tenderness
Itching
Temporary skin sensitivity
These effects usually resolve without intervention.
Less Common Side Effects
Less common reactions may include:
Blistering
Crusting
Burns
Temporary hyperpigmentation
Temporary hypopigmentation
Prolonged redness
Changes in skin texture
Scarring
Paradoxical hair stimulation
Paradoxical hypertrichosis is an uncommon response in which hair growth becomes more noticeable near or within the treated area. It may be more likely in hormonally influenced facial areas or when inappropriate settings are used.
Pigmentation Changes
Laser energy interacts with pigment. If the settings are not appropriate for the client's skin tone or if the skin has recently been exposed to the sun, the risk of temporary darkening or lightening may increase.
This is why accurate skin assessment, disclosure of recent tanning, and proper sun protection are essential.
Who May Need to Delay Treatment?
Treatment may need to be postponed or modified for clients with:
An active tan or sunburn
Open wounds
Active skin infections
Irritated or inflamed skin
Recent photosensitizing medication use
Certain medical conditions
A history of unusual scarring
Tattoos within the treatment path
Pregnancy
Laser hair removal is not performed directly over tattoo pigment because the laser may interact with the tattoo ink and cause burns or changes to the artwork.
Why Your Consultation Matters
A thorough consultation helps identify potential contraindications and allows your provider to choose treatment settings suited to your skin and hair.
Be prepared to discuss:
Medications
Supplements
Medical conditions
Hormonal concerns
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
History of cold sores
Previous laser reactions
Tanning habits
Skin sensitivities
Recent procedures
Honest communication allows your provider to make the safest recommendation. In some cases, a test spot or physician clearance may be appropriate before proceeding.
Laser Hair Removal Pricing and Membership Options
The cost of laser hair removal depends on the number and size of the areas treated, the amount of hair present, the number of sessions required, and whether you select individual treatments, a package, or a membership.
Because every client has different goals, we recommend beginning with a consultation so that we can provide accurate recommendations and transparent pricing.
What Influences the Cost?
Laser hair removal pricing may vary based on:
Size of the treatment area
Number of treatment areas
Hair thickness and density
Expected number of sessions
Hormonal hair growth
Frequency of maintenance
Individual treatments versus membership enrollment
A small area such as the upper lip generally requires less treatment time than full legs, a back, or multiple body areas.
Why Laser Can Be a Better Long-Term Investment
Shaving and waxing may appear less expensive in the moment, but the costs continue indefinitely.
Long-term expenses may include:
Razors
Replacement blades
Shaving cream
Waxing appointments
Sugaring appointments
Depilatory creams
Ingrown-hair products
Exfoliating products
Time spent on weekly maintenance
Laser hair removal requires an upfront or monthly commitment, but it can significantly reduce the ongoing time and expense associated with temporary hair removal.
Unlimited Laser Hair Removal Membership
Denver Dream Medspa offers an unlimited laser hair removal membership for clients who want to treat multiple areas while keeping their monthly costs predictable.
The membership is designed for clients who want the flexibility to address several areas during their treatment journey rather than purchasing every area separately.
Current membership structure:
$299 per month
Six-month minimum commitment
Multiple areas may be treated during eligible sessions
Each area is typically treated approximately every six weeks
Treatment timing is based on hair-growth cycles and provider recommendations
Membership eligibility, scheduling limits, exclusions, and treatment availability should be reviewed before enrollment.
Annual Laser Hair Removal Option
Clients who prefer to pay in advance may choose the annual option:
$2,488 paid upfront
Multiple treatment areas
Treatments scheduled according to appropriate clinical intervals
Customized recommendations based on skin and hair response
The annual plan may provide additional savings for clients who already know they want to treat several areas consistently.
Is the Membership Right for You?
The membership may be especially valuable for clients interested in combinations such as:
Brazilian and underarms
Legs, bikini, and underarms
Face, neck, and chin
Back, shoulders, and chest
Multiple full-body areas
Initial treatments followed by maintenance
During your consultation, we can help compare individual-area pricing with membership options so you can choose the approach that makes the most sense for your goals and budget.
Why Provider Experience Matters
Laser hair removal is not simply a matter of placing a device against the skin and pressing a button. Safe, effective treatment requires an understanding of skin anatomy, hair growth cycles, laser physics, treatment endpoints, contraindications, and how different skin tones respond to energy.
The technology matters, but the person operating it matters just as much.
Every Client Requires Different Settings
Treatment settings must be selected based on factors such as:
Skin tone
Hair color
Hair thickness
Hair density
Treatment area
Recent sun exposure
Hormonal influences
Previous treatment response
Medical history
Medication use
Settings that are appropriate for coarse underarm hair may not be appropriate for fine facial hair. Similarly, settings used on lighter skin may not be appropriate for deeper skin tones.
An experienced provider knows how to balance safety, comfort, and effectiveness without relying on a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Proper Assessment Reduces Risk
A trained provider should examine the skin before each treatment and ask about changes since the previous appointment.
Important changes may include:
Recent tanning
New medications
Skin irritation
Pregnancy
Hormonal changes
New medical diagnoses
Recent cosmetic procedures
Unexpected reactions after the last treatment
Skipping these assessments may increase the risk of complications.
Treatment Endpoints Must Be Monitored
During a laser hair removal session, the provider observes the skin's immediate response. Appropriate follicular swelling or mild redness may indicate that the hair follicles have absorbed energy.
Excessive redness, whitening, blistering, or an unusual skin response may indicate that settings need to be adjusted or treatment should stop.
Experience allows the provider to recognize these changes quickly.
More Energy Is Not Always Better
A higher setting does not automatically produce better results. Excessive energy can increase the risk of burns and pigmentation changes without improving the long-term outcome.
Effective treatment requires carefully selected settings, proper pulse timing, consistent contact, adequate cooling, and attention to how the skin responds throughout the session.
Experience Is Especially Important for Hormonal Hair
Hair caused by PCOS, menopause, medication changes, or other hormonal influences may behave differently from typical body hair.
An experienced provider can help set realistic expectations, identify when maintenance may be needed, and avoid overpromising permanent removal.

Most patients describe treatment as mild snapping or warmth.
-
Yes. Patients are usually instructed to shave the treatment area before appointments.
-
Modern laser technology can safely treat many skin types when performed by trained professionals.
-
Common treatment areas include the face, underarms, bikini area, legs, chest, back, and arms.
-

-
Yes. Laser hair removal is extremely popular for reducing ingrown hairs and razor irritation.
-
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light to remove unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicles.
-
The laser emits a light that's absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles, damaging them to inhibit future hair growth without affecting the surrounding skin.
-
During laser treatment, a diode laser beam passes through the skin towards hair follicles. The penetrating energy then heats up the root of the hair, which in turn prevents future hair growth.
-
Most people describe the sensation as a slight discomfort or snapping feeling, often compared to a rubber band snapping against the skin. Many lasers now incorporate cooling systems to minimize discomfort. DiolazeXL has a built-in skin cooling surface which is one of the largest for all hair removal devices. This makes treatment more comfortable than other devices, with most patients noting that DiolazeXL is virtually painless.
-
As with all laser hair removal methods, DiolazeXL requires a series of treatments. Laser hair removal works best when hair follicles are in their mature stage; however, at any given time your hair is in various stages of growth.
-
Hair is reduced with each treatment and results are observed after four to six sessions. Multiple sessions are usually needed for optimal results. The exact number varies based on skin color, hair color, and the targeted treatment area.
-
Advances in technology have made laser hair removal safer for a variety of skin tones. However, it's essential to consult with a skilled professional experienced in treating diverse skin types.
-
It's essential to avoid sun exposure and tanning beds before treatment, as well as avoid plucking or waxing the treatment area for several weeks.
-
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area, which typically subside within a few hours to days.
-
Patients usually notice a reduction in hair growth after each session, with smoother skin and a decrease in the density of hair in the treated area.
Laser Hair Removal Pre-Care
Avoid laser hair removal if pregnant or nursing
Shave the area to be treated with laser 1-2 days prior to your appointment. You can shave as often as desired between laser treatments.
Discontinue waxing, tweezing, threading, depilatories and electrolysis for at least 3 weeks prior to your treatment and throughout treatment.
Stop retinoids 2 weeks prior to your treatment unless otherwise advised.
Avoid applying makeup on the day of treatment if getting laser hair removal on the face.
Avoid tanning prior to your treatment. Any patient with a significant tan or sunburn may be rescheduled due to the sensitivity of the procedure to altered skin color and for the sake of your own safety.
If you have a history of cold sores, please let the provider know.
Caution is advised to persons with a history of herpes in the treatment area. Those who carry the herpes virus and receive laser treatment on their upper lip, chin, or lower cheeks may have a “flare-up” of their condition. The risk of this complication can be reduced if you take prescribed antiviral medication in the office on the day of your treatment, which we can provide to you. If you have an active herpes outbreak, your appointment will have to be rescheduled.
Laser Hair Removal Post-Care
The treatment area is very delicate and should be treated gently. It is common to experience slight swelling and redness at the treatment site.
Avoid direct sun exposure to treated areas for at least one-week post-treatment and all signs of redness and irritation have subsided. Always wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 daily, and reapply as directed.
Avoid trauma to the treatment area such as scratching, picking, or rubbing.
Avoid pools, hot tubs, jacuzzis, saunas, and steam rooms for 3 days.
Avoid any deep exfoliation treatments or creams containing a chemical exfoliator for 2 weeks pre and post-treatment such as microdermabrasion, retinoids, or glycolic acid.
You may apply cold compresses or ice packs to the treated area to ease discomfort.
