Why You Need a Series of Treatments

Hair grows in cycles and growth cycles vary depending on the part of the body. For example, hair grows faster on your face then your leg.

Lasers can eliminate hair only when the hair is in the follicle stage of its growth cycle. In a given area perhaps 10-12% of the hair is in the follicular stage and able to be eliminated with the laser. It takes about 4-8 weeks for the hair to cycle again and new hair follicles to form. Then it will be time to treat again. Therefore, at least 5-6 sessions or more are required for a satisfactory result.

How Do Lasers Work?

Lasers work by selectively destroying the hair follicle. When properly administered, lasers target the pigment in hair follicles but leave the skin unharmed. For people with more skin pigment particular lasers, for example, Yag Lasers, are chosen because they are safer for you.

Possible Side Effects

You may experience some redness, swelling, or irritation after treatment. Generally, this lasts for a day, at most. An uncommon potential risk is a burn with altered skin pigment and rarely scar formation.

Preparation for Treatment

You should avoid intense sun exposure to the area of treatment 3-4 days before and after the treatment. Stop Vitamin A products such as Retinol, Tretinoin, Retin-A, etc. 3-4 days before treatment. Shave the area and do not pluck or wax the hair prior to treatment or during the course of your treatment series.

Results

Hair growth is affected by many factors: hormones, medication, age, hereditary issues, skin color and even the weather. No two people have the same response to a laser treatment and the treatments need to be individualized. Generally, you can obtain an 80% or greater clearance level. Touch up treatments may be needed in the coming years especially if you start at a young age.

What to Expect

Before your treatments, avoid sun exposure for 4 days and shave the area.
Stop all Vitamin A products like Retin-A, Tazarac, Retinol, Tretinoin, etc. about 4 days prior to treatment.
You may opt for numbing cream or ice to relieve discomfort. A powerful cooling jet of air is also helpful for discomfort. Dr Greenberg may prescribe pain medicine to take before your treatment if needed.
You, and your aesthetician, will wear special, protective goggles.
A soothing lotion can be applied after your treatment.
Avoid sun exposure afterward, and then always wear sunscreen.
