How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair by damaging the hair follicles. The lasers used in this process emit a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting light energy to heat that damages the hair follicles. Typically, a series of laser hair removal treatments is needed to achieve optimal results, and maintenance treatments may be required for long-term hair reduction. It is strongly recommended to have this procedure done by a certified professional to avoid risks and complications.
In Elegancy Beauty Bar we use the latest technology GentleMax Pro and Cynosure Elite+.

How To Prepare For Laser Hair Removal
Shave the area you want to be treated at least a day before your appointment.
Avoid certain skincare products
Avoid using products that contain retinoids, glycolic acid, alpha-hydroxy acid, benzoyl peroxide, or salicylic acid, among others, for at least five days ahead of your appointment. These items make your skin more susceptible to irritation, burns, or discoloration.
Avoid wearing makeup or lotions
Do not apply lotion, deodorant, or makeup to the treatment area before your appointment. You should ensure the area is devoid of any oils and residues, and clean dry skin is the best.
Before Care for Laser Hair Removal
Avoid sun exposure
It is crucial to avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds before your laser hair removal session. Excessive sun exposure can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of complications. If you have a tan or sunburn, it is best to wait until it has faded before scheduling your treatment.
Shave the treatment area
Shave the area to be treated 24 hours before your session. This will help the laser target the hair follicles more effectively and minimize discomfort during the procedure. Avoid waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams as they remove the hair shaft, which the laser needs to target.
Avoid certain skincare products
Avoid using any skincare products that may irritate your skin, such as exfoliants, retinoids, or topical acne medications, for at least one week before your treatment. These products can make your skin more sensitive and increase the risk of side effects.
Cleanse your skin
On the day of your appointment, cleanse your skin thoroughly and make sure it is free from any lotions, creams, or makeup. Clean, dry skin allows the laser to penetrate more effectively and reduces the risk of adverse reactions.
Discuss any medications or medical conditions
Inform your laser technician about any medications you are taking or medical conditions you have. Some medications or conditions may affect the suitability or safety of the treatment.
Follow your provider’s instructions
Your laser technician may provide you with specific pre-care instructions based on your individual circumstances. Make sure to follow them carefully to ensure the best results and minimize any potential risks.
After Care for Laser Hair Removal
Avoid direct sunlight
After laser hair removal, it’s important to protect your treated skin from direct sunlight. Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen with a high SPF to prevent skin damage.
Avoid tanning beds
Tanning beds can also damage the skin and interfere with the healing process. It is advisable to avoid using tanning beds for at least six weeks after laser hair removal.
Be gentle with the treated area
The treated area may be sensitive and delicate after laser hair removal. Avoid rubbing, scratching, or picking at the skin to prevent irritation or infection.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How permanent is laser hair removal?
Is it really permanent? In short, no. Laser hair removal works by heating the hair follicles to stop new hairs from growing. This puts the hair follicles in a state of dormancy for a long period of time — much longer than with shaving and waxing.
How painful is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is designed to target hair follicles with tiny high-heat laser beams. While you may not feel the heat, you may feel like your skin is being snapped with a rubber band. You may also experience mild discomfort after the procedure, such as redness and irritation similar to a mild sunburn.
How long will laser hair removal last?
Even then, some hair may eventually grow back. While “permanent” laser hair removal is a misnomer, after six to eight treatments, you can expect a marked reduction in hair. Any regrowth can be managed with touch-up treatments every six to 12 months.
