Are you tired of repeatedly shaving, waxing or pulling out unwanted hair? Laser hair removal might be the solution. At A Woman’s Touch MD, led by Dr. Julene Samuels, we offer state-of-the-art laser hair removal treatments using the advanced Sciton® Joule X platform. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore how laser hair removal works and what to expect during and after treatment.
Understanding Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a gentle technique that employs focused beams of light to pinpoint and deactivate the roots of unwanted hair. This advanced cosmetic procedure offers a long-lasting solution for those seeking to reduce hair growth in specific areas of the body. The Sciton Joule X platform at our practice employs cutting-edge BAREit laser technology, which offers several advantages over traditional hair removal methods.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The BAREit laser technology uses an infrared laser to target the melanin pigments in hair follicles. When the follicle absorbs laser energy, it heats up and damages it, inhibiting future hair growth.
Is Laser Hair Removal Right for You?
If you’re tired of the constant maintenance required by traditional hair removal methods and are seeking a more permanent solution, laser hair removal might be the answer you’ve been looking for.
Reduce unwanted hair on various body areas, including:
- Face (excluding eyebrows)
- Underarms
- Legs
- Bikini area
- Back
- Chest
What You Can Expect
Your journey begins with a detailed, personalized consultation. During this meeting, we’ll assess your skin and hair type, discuss your goals and create your treatment plan.
The Treatment Process
We begin by thoroughly cleansing the treatment area and, if you prefer, applying a topical anesthetic to enhance your comfort. To ensure your safety, we’ll provide you with specialized protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the laser.
Our skilled practitioner will use a handheld laser device to target the desired areas precisely during the treatment. You may experience a sensation like a rubber band snap on your skin, but the optional anesthetic can significantly reduce any discomfort.
The device’s integrated cooling system minimizes potential discomfort throughout the procedure, ensuring a more pleasant experience. Once the session is complete, we’ll apply a soothing lotion to the treated area and provide detailed aftercare instructions. For most patients, we recommend a series of 3-5 treatment sessions spaced 3-8 weeks apart.
This carefully planned schedule allows us to target hair follicles during their active growth phases, maximizing the overall effectiveness of the treatment and helping you achieve the best possible results.
Post-Treatment Care and Results
Following each laser hair removal session, temporary redness and mild swelling are common in the treated areas. These effects typically resolve within a few hours to a day, indicating that your skin is responding to the treatment.
We recommend following a few simple post-treatment guidelines to maximize your results and safeguard your skin during the process. First, always apply a high-quality mineral-based sunscreen to the treated areas when exposed to sunlight, as your skin may be more sensitive following the procedure. It’s crucial to avoid waxing or plucking between sessions, as these methods can disrupt the hair follicles and potentially interfere with the laser’s ability to target them effectively in subsequent treatments.
Additionally, we suggest gently exfoliating the treated area to help prevent ingrown hairs and promote smooth skin. As you progress through your treatment course, you’ll likely begin to notice a gradual reduction in hair growth after your initial sessions. However, the optimal results typically become apparent once you’ve completed your entire series of treatments, revealing smoother, hair-free skin that can boost your confidence and simplify your grooming routine.
