Laser Hair Removal
Are you also sick of the endless cycle of traditional hair removal methods? It can be frustrating and time-consuming to worry about the constant removal and regrowth and all the skin issues it causes. But, we have great news– our advanced laser hair removal treatments are a long-lasting solution to enjoy smooth, hair-free skin without the constant maintenance of shaving, threading, sugaring or waxing.
Understanding Laser Hair Removal Technology
Our state-of-the-art laser technology delivers precise, concentrated beams of light that target hair follicles during their active growth phase. Melanin in your hair absorbs the energy, which converts to heat and effectively disables the follicle’s ability to produce new hair. This sophisticated process ensures maximum effectiveness while maintaining the safety and comfort of your surrounding skin.
The precision of our laser technology allows us to treat various areas of the body with exceptional accuracy. From larger areas like the back, legs and arms to more delicate regions such as the face, underarms and bikini area, our experienced practitioners can customize treatments to meet your specific needs.
The Treatment Process: What to Expect
Your journey to smooth, hair-free skin begins with a comprehensive consultation at Lucienne Salon & Medical Spa. During this initial meeting, our skilled practitioners will evaluate your skin type and hair characteristics to determine the most effective treatment approach for you.
We’ll discuss your goals and expectations for hair reduction while reviewing your history to ensure that laser hair removal is a safe option for you at this time. Based on this thorough assessment, we’ll work together to create your treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs and desired outcomes.
When you arrive for your treatment, our team prioritizes your comfort throughout the entire process. We begin by thoroughly preparing each treatment area. This includes cleansing and adding a surface-numbing cream to ensure your comfort.
You’ll be provided with protective eyewear for your safety, and we may apply a cooling gel to help protect your skin during the procedure. Our experienced practitioner carefully moves the laser device across the treatment area, delivering precise light pulses to target the hair follicles.
Most patients describe the sensation as a slight snapping feeling against the skin, which is generally well-tolerated. The time frame for each session varies depending on the size of the treatment area, but many areas can be completed in around 45 minutes or less, making it convenient to fit treatments into your busy schedule.
Customized Treatment Plans
We recognize that every client’s hair growth patterns and characteristics are unique, so we take a personalized approach to your treatment plan. We carefully consider your skin type, hair color, density and coarseness, size of the treatment area, and desired results when crafting your individual treatment strategy. Most clients require 4-8 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart for optimal results. This careful spacing allows us to target hair follicles during their active growth phase when the treatment is most effective.
Treatment Guidelines and Post-Treatment Care
We recommend avoiding sun exposure, including tanning beds, for at least 2 weeks before treatment to for the best possible results. You should also refrain from waxing, plucking or threading the treatment area for 4-6 weeks before your session. We suggest shaving the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment and avoiding the application of lotions, creams or deodorants to the treatment area on the day of your session.
After each session, you may experience a touch of redness or swelling in the treated areamms, though these effects typically subside within a few hours. We recommend applying cool compresses if needed for comfort and avoiding sun exposure while using broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to support optimal healing and results. Keep the treated areas clean and dry and to avoid hot showers, saunas and strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours following treatment. While you should not wax or pluck between sessions, you may shave as needed.
Hair Growth Cycles
Understanding hair growth cycles is crucial for successful laser hair removal outcomes. Hair grows in three distinct phases: the anagen (growth) phase, where the hair is actively growing and connected to the follicle’s blood supply; the catagen (transition) phase, when the hair stops growing and begins to detach from the follicle; and the telogen (resting) phase, where the follicle is dormant and the hair eventually sheds naturally. Since individual hairs can be in different phases at any given time, multiple sessions are necessary to target all the follicles during the active growth phase, when treatment is most effective.
Long-Term Results and Maintenance
While laser hair removal offers long-lasting hair reduction, some maintenance sessions may be needed to maintain optimal results. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, age and medical conditions can influence long-term results. Most clients find that occasional touch-up treatments every 6-12 months help maintain their desired level of hair reduction.
