To prepare for a laser hair removal session, shave the treatment area the night before and apply body lotion to keep the skin hydrated.

On the day of your session, avoid using lotion or any skincare products, and ensure your skin is clean. Wear loose clothing for comfort and avoid sun exposure or tanning before and after the session. Avoid any forms of waxing, tweezing, electrolysis, depilatory creams, sugaring, for six weeks and in between treatments.

The number of laser hair removal sessions you need depends on factors like hair color, skin type, and the area being treated.

At least, 6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are needed for significant results, as the laser targets hair in the active growth phase.

After primarily sessions, some touch-up sessions might be needed with longer intervals.

Maintenance sessions may be required annually to keep results long-term.

Laser hair removal is generally safe, but there are some risks to consider. Common side effects include temporary skin irritation, redness, or swelling, which typically resolve within a few hours.

Changes in skin pigmentation, such as lightening or darkening, can occur, particularly in individuals with darker skin tones.

Very rare risks include burns, blisters, or scarring, often due to improper technique or treating tanned skin.

Following pre- and post-care instructions can help minimize these risks.

After a laser hair removal session, redness and mild irritation are common and typically last for a few hours to a day.

In some cases, especially if you have sensitive skin, redness may persist for up to 2-3 days. Applying a soothing aloe vera gel or a cold compress can help reduce discomfort and speed up recovery.

Usually, laser hair removal typically results in a 70-90% permanent hair reduction after a full series of treatments. The effectiveness varies based on factors like hair color, skin type, and the area being treated.

While most hair follicles are permanently disabled, finer hairs are more difficult to get treated and need more maintenance sessions.

You might be a good candidate for laser hair removal if:

• Hair and Skin Tone: You have dark hair and light to medium skin, as the laser targets pigment in the hair.

• Hair Type: Your hair is coarse or thick; finer or lighter-colored hair (blonde, gray, red) is harder or impossible to treat with laser.

• Health: You have no underlying skin conditions or are not taking medications that increase sensitivity to light.

• Commitment: You can attend multiple sessions and follow pre- and post-care instructions.
