Uses laser light energy which travels down the hair shaft into the hair follicle, damaging or destroying the follicle and preventing future hair growth. Treatment areas should be shaved completely prior to treatment. Legs should be shaved 24 hours prior to your appointment to avoid irritation. Do not wax, tweeze, epilate, or use chemical depilatories for two weeks before treatment, or at all in between laser treatments. You may experience redness and swelling in the treatment area which may persist for several days. Treated area may feel like a razor burn/sunburn for a few hours after treatment. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone or aloe vera may be used to alleviate redness and irritation. Hair in treated area will slowly shed, typically over the course of two weeks. Patchiness of hair growth is normal, and will dissipate towards the completion of your laser hair removal treatment series.
