How Laser Hair Removal Works
There are many factors that cause hair growth including hormones, ethnicity and genetics. Sometimes even abnormal hair growth can appear. With our technology, unwanted hair can be removed in a comfortable setting. Laser hair removal is the process of removing body hair by destroying the hair follicle with pulses of laser light. The laser destroys hair follicles all over the body.
The Process
At Rosemark, we use the SplendorX technology which is a very quick and effective laser. It is one of the most effective laser hair removal technologies available today! Once you are prepped and ready to start the treatment, the laser is gently drawn across the treatment area. The Splendor X laser actually uses a chilling tip and cool air to anesthetize the skin creating a very comfortable laser hair removal treatment. As the laser passes across the treatment area, energy and light are absorbed by the melanin in the hair to create heat which eliminates the hair and then gets to the root of the hair follicle. The treatment also delays the future hair growth eventually stopping it from continual growth.
Length of Treatment
The length of each treatment will vary from minutes to an hour or more dependent on the size of the treatment area and hair density. Several treatments will likely be necessary for better and more comprehensive results.
What to Expect
Free Consultation
To get started, a free consultation will be held and you will meet with a laser specialist to discuss a treatment plan that will be created specifically to your needs.
Schedule Initial Treatment
Through the free consultation, a treatment plan will be discussed and then an estimate will be provided so you will know what the costs will be associated with your laser hair removal treatment plan.
Initial Treatment
At your initial laser hair removal treatment session, your laser specialist will initiate your treatment plan. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, but because some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, topical anesthesia may be recommended for your comfort. A few things to note:
- The appearance of the treated area immediately following the laser hair removal treatment will vary from patient to patient depending on the extent of the procedure and skin type.
- Side effects, if any, are minor. If you do experience any side effects, they may include redness and swelling around the hair follicle. Redness and swelling, in fact, are the desired clinical results and such side effects actually indicate that the follicle has responded well to the treatment.
- Most people return to normal activity right away.
Subsequent Treatments Scheduled
Once the laser hair removal treatments have begun you will start to see thinning of the hair, possible spotting, and the beginning of the “shedding” phase where the hair will begin to fall out. Some may see results faster than others due to hormones, skin types, etc. Typically 8 treatments are recommended and will be spaced out depending on patient results. After 8 treatments it is common to see anywhere from 60%-80% hair reduction. Once the treatments are finished touch ups may be required and are available to all patients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a consultation necessary?
Yes, a consultation is necessary to make sure you are a candidate for laser hair removal treatment. We will review your situation to determine if you are a candidate for a safe, successful treatment. We will also review the pre-treatment instructions and post-treatment care. All patients are required to complete a consultation before treatments begin. Remember, laser hair removal treatment consultations are free!
How many treatments are required?
While treatment effectiveness varies from person to person and session to session, we recommended a minimum of eight laser hair removal treatments because your hair grows in three different phases. Eight appropriately spaced treatments are the most effective method to simultaneously treat all hair follicles, regardless of its current hair-growth phase.
Does laser hair removal work on lighter hair?
In order for the laser to locate the hair follicle, hair needs to have color. Our laser is one of the latest in laser technology so it is able to treat lighter hair, however if the hair color is blonde, gray, or white, the laser is not effective. Unfortunately, dying your hair does not improve your ability to have a successful treatment.
Can laser hair removal treatments be done on tanned skin?
We do not recommend doing laser hair removal on tanned skin due to the risk of burning. During the free consultation we will evaluate your skin and determine when the time is right to begin treatment. Please note that tanned skin is not a skin type and we safely treat all skin types.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Yes, however the procedure may not prevent new hair growth and results vary from individual to individual. It is important to keep your scheduled appointments to achieve permanent hair removal.
Once the initial treatment package has concluded, some patients request “touch up” treatments from time to time. We have found that some patients schedule “touch up treatments” once a year, some come in after five years, and some are satisfied without any additional treatments.
It is important to know that hormones are a major factor with hair growth and are typically the number one reason new hair growth occurs even after laser hair removal treatment
Do I need to shave before my laser hair removal treatment?
Yes, however, during the free laser hair removal consultation you will be advised to leave a small sample area unshaven. Shaving will be discussed in more detail during your free consultation.
What does the laser hair removal treatment feel like?
While discomfort is minimal, some say the laser hair removal treatment feels like a quick rubber band snap or a quick pinch. With our Splendor- X laser technology, there is a chill tip and cool air that is constantly blowing to help counteract the sensation. You may experience some mild discomfort.
How long will my treatment take?
The length of the laser hair removal treatment will depend on your treatment plan and the size of area to be treated. Treatment sessions typically last between 15 minutes to an hour.
What are the side effects?
After your laser hair removal treatment has concluded, you may experience some redness or swelling of the hair follicles. This is normal and is due to the fact that the follicle is being damaged and ultimately destroyed. Rest assured, the laser hair removal treatment does not damage the skin. Any discomfort you may feel usually subsides within 24 to 48 hours. If discomfort last longer than 48 hours, you will be advised to directly contact our laser services office at 208-552-6909 or our main number at 208-557-2900.
