What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that utilizes concentrated light beams (lasers) to target and destroy hair follicles, effectively preventing future hair growth. The lasers precisely focus on hair follicles while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. Each pass lasts only a fraction of a second and can treat multiple hairs simultaneously.

Is laser hair removal safe?
Yes, when performed by a qualified professional, laser hair removal is considered safe. Following the procedure, some may experience temporary minor redness or swelling, which typically resolves quickly.

How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions needed for optimal results in laser hair removal typically ranges from 6 to 12. Most people may require about 8 sessions, but factors like hair type, color, and skin type can influence the exact number. Sessions are usually spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart to allow hair to grow into the appropriate phase for effective treatment. It’s best to consult with an envy medi spa professional to determine a personalized treatment plan.

Does it hurt?
The procedure is generally described as a hot stone massage. Some describe the sensation similar to a mild rubber band snap against the skin. Numbing cream can be applied to minimize discomfort if you are overly sensitive.

What areas can be treated?
Common treatment areas include the face, legs, underarms, bikini, and back.. Almost any area with unwanted hair from the cheeks of face to the toes can be treated.

Who is a good candidate?
Ideal candidates for laser hair removal, typically dark hair is generally more responsive to laser treatment, as the contrast with lighter skin makes it easier for the laser to target the hair follicles. Light to medium skin types tend to see better results, coarser hair often responds better but advancements in technology have made it possible for some lasers such as our Soprano ice Platinum which is virtually painless and works on tanned and dark skin due to it’s power of 3 wavelengths.

How should I prepare for treatment?
Consulting one of our licensed professionals at envy medi spa is crucial for ensuring you’re well-prepared for laser hair removal. Here are some key preparation tips:

Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning for at least a few weeks before your session, as recently tanned or sunburnt skin can increase the risk of side effects.

Medications: Inform your provider about any medications you’re taking.

Shaving: Shaving the treatment area (the closer the better) one to two days prior is usually recommended to ensure the laser targets the hair follicles.

Avoid Irritation: Skip any harsh skincare products or treatments in the area a few days before your appointment.

How long does each session take?
Session length depends on the area being treated. Smaller areas, like the upper lip, may take just a few minutes, while larger areas, like the legs or back, can take up to half an hour.

Is it permanent?
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but it may not eliminate it permanently for everyone. Some may require maintenance sessions over time.

Does facial hair fall out after laser?
Hairs do not fall out immediately, but you will shed them over a period of days to weeks. This may look like continued hair growth. The repeated treatments are usually necessary because hair growth and loss naturally occur in a cycle, and laser treatment works best with hair follicles in the new-growth stage.

Laser hair removal and pregnant: Is it safe?
We recommend avoiding laser hair removal during pregnancy because of the lack of information about the effect on the fetus and no long term studies that analyze the effects of laser hair treatment on unborn children. For this reason, it is best to play it safe.

Is there any post care after a session of laser hair removal?
Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24 to 48 hours after your treatment, as heat can irritate the skin.
