Laser Hair Removal: What to Expect

Laser Hair Removal

Unwanted hair does not just exist among women; it’s a common problem among men as well. So whether you’re tired of shaving your legs, chest, bikini line, back, or underarms, laser hair removal has you covered. Allure Laser & Med Spa in Tinley Park, IL offers laser hair removal treatments, which is the longest-lasting option available for hair removal. So whether you’re a man or a woman you can benefit from these treatments and say goodbye to shaving, waxing, and tweezing.

How it Works

After you both put on protective eye wear, one of the professionals on our team helping you get rid of your body hair  will calibrate and use the laser device over your skin. The photons from the laser impact with the pigment in the skin, and this effectively disrupts the hair follicles. The hair starts falling out at the rate of a quarter-sized region per second. This makes quick work of arm pit hair, and it does not take too long to get rid of the hair on your back also.

This method even works on unwanted facial hair, which is usually a problem for women. After three to eight sessions with the laser, you start to notice that your hair is growing in thinner and less frequently. Before long, it stops growing in for longer periods of time. This makes keeping your unwanted hair growth a much easier problem to maintain than before. Additionally, you are not dealing with scrapes, nicks, and cuts from using a razor.

Calibrating the Laser

If you do not have a light pale skin tone and darker hair, the laser must be calibrated to match your skin tone for optimal results. In the past, men and women who had darker skin tones were out of luck when it came to laser hair removal treatments. However, the lasers in use today are far better designed to address the problems associated with skin tone and hair color. Nowadays, virtually anyone can get laser hair removal treatments to better manage unwanted hair growth. After going under the laser, it is important to remember to not subject your skin to direct sunlight. It is even advised that you use sun screen with an SPF rating of 30 or higher for a while.
