Laser Hair Removal Fairview, TX

Unlike waxing, there is no need for long hair. Hair must be short for your laser treatment. Shave or trim the hair before your treatment. Shorter hair makes the treatment more comfortable and allows laser energy to travel down to the follicle faster. Avoid sun exposure on the area for 2 to 3 weeks before treatment and 1 to 2 weeks afterward.

You will be shown to a private laser hair removal treatment room and allowed time to undress if needed for access to the treatment area. Your Certified Laser Hair Removal Professional, or CLHRP, will knock before returning to the room.

The CLHRP will explain what is happening and what they are going to do. You and the CLHRP will wear safety glasses to protect your eyes. A small handpiece touches the skin to deliver the laser pulse.

You will feel cool air on your skin throughout the session. The laser delivers concentrated light that is absorbed by pigment in the hair and converts to heat to target the follicle. Hair in the active growth phase is most affected because it contains the melanin targeted by the laser.

The laser does not break the skin, and there are no needles or blood. Athens uses Cynosure Elite laser machines with a cooling device that blows cold air onto the skin for comfort. Clients often compare the sensation to an elastic band snapping against the skin, but individual pain thresholds vary.

Before treatment

Avoid sun exposure on the area for 2 to 3 weeks before the procedure and for 1 to 2 weeks afterward. Apply sunscreen with at least SPF 15 before casual sun exposure and avoid exposing sensitive treated skin to direct sun.

After treatment

Hair can take up to 2 weeks to shed and may continue falling out through the 14th day. Exfoliate the treated area beginning about 3 days after treatment if your provider advises it. Gently rubbing the area while showering can help the shedding process.

Do not wax, pluck, or use similar methods that remove hair from the follicle between sessions because they can interfere with treatment. You may shave, trim, or use depilatory creams or clippers if needed and if your provider says they are appropriate for your skin.

Your CLHRP will explain the requirements before your first treatment. Call 972-468-9779 or 855-293-4247 to arrange a free consultation and discuss a treatment plan that suits your needs.

Laser hair removal provides long-term hair reduction rather than a guarantee that hair will never return. Some follicles may be only partially affected and need additional treatment. Fine regrowth or new growth related to hormonal changes can also occur, so maintenance sessions may be recommended.

Most people find laser treatments comfortable, although pain tolerance is subjective. Clients describe sensations ranging from warmth to a quick snap, and some have compared the cooling-supported experience to a hot stone massage. If you feel more discomfort than expected, tell your Laser Hair Professional so the settings and cooling can be evaluated.

Compared with a lifetime of shaving, waxing, or plucking, laser treatments can be a worthwhile investment in time and money savings. Fees depend on the treatment area and the number of sessions you may need. We offer a complimentary consultation to determine whether you are a good candidate.
