How does Laser Hair Removal work?
The Laser Hair Removal system emits  laser light that is absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicle. The laser is pulsed, or turned on, for only a fraction of a second. The duration of each pulse is just long enough to damage the follicle, while the system’s unique, patented contact-cooling hand piece, helps protect the skin by conductive cooling during the laser energy delivery.

What do treatments feel like?
The Laser Hair Removal hand piece cools and soothes as it glides along your skin. When the pulse of light is delivered, some patients experience a mild pinching or stinging sensation. No local anesthesia or pain medication is typically required.

What happens after treatment?
Following Laser Hair Removal treatment, you can return to your normal activities right away, but the treated area may appear a bit red and swollen which is normal side effects after. The use of sunscreen is recommended on any treated areas exposed to the sun. In addition, your laser specialist may recommend that you use a specially formulated skin care product line or prescribe a skin care regimen especially formulated for your skin type. Three to seven days after treatment you may experience what seems to be regrowth of hair. Actually, most of these hairs are being shed as a result of your treatment and are not regrowing. Between treatments, you should not wax or pluck your hair, but it is permissible to shave.

Who is the Best Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser Hair Removal laser technology is known to be most effective for those who have light, fair skin and dark brown and black hair. Those with red, grey, blonde, white and clear hair are also NOT a good candidate.  The more dark pigment that’s present in the hair follicle, the more effective the actual hair treatment will be. 

What are the possible side effects?
Although clients experience few side effects with Laser Hair Removal, the most commonly noticed are slight reddening and local swelling of the skin, similar to a sunburn. These effects typically last for several hours or less. In rare instances, mild  raised skin may occur. Consult with our laser specialists for complete information on the benefits and risks of treatment.

What areas can be treated?
Laser Hair Removal can remove hair from virtually all parts of the body including the face, legs, arms, underarms and back. It can also treat sensitive areas like the chest, nipples, bikini line and Brazilian  for women and men.

How many treatments will I need?
Most areas require 10-12 treatments and then touch ups as needed thru the years to maintain your result. However, the number of treatments required for optimal long-term benefits depends on multiple factors – hair thickness, the area treated, coming to your appointments regularly and keeping up with your hair’s growth cycle. Interestingly, not all hairs are actively growing at the same time and actually go through three distinct phases: growth, regression, and resting. Laser Hair Removal works by disabling the hair that is principally in the active growth phase at the time of treatment. Since other hairs will enter this active growth phase at different times, additional treatments may be necessary to disable all of the hair follicles in a given area.

How does Laser Hair Removal compare with other hair removal methods?
Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods that must be repeated on a frequent basis and none of those methods can successfully reduce ingrown hair. By eliminating the hair follicle, Laser Hair Removal at Blush Medspa and Laser offers permanent hair reduction and treatment of ingrown for lasting results. Laser Hair Removal provides enhanced comfort during treatment, minimal risk of infection, speed, and accuracy and also minimizes skin irritation that other methods may create.

Before Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure:

• Use a broad spectrum SPF 30 (or greater) sunblock before AND after your treatments. Please try to avoid natural tanning anytime within 2-3 weeks before your session.
• Avoid exfoliating agents like Retin-A, AHA/BHA, acne medication, or any irritating or drying products for 3 days prior to each treatment.
• Please notify Blush Medspa of any changes in topical or oral prescription medications, as they may have an effect on the ability to safely or effectively provide treatment.
• You may bring makeup or concealer to re-apply on facial areas or to cover redness post-treatment.
• NO Photosensitizing anti-biotics 2 weeks prior to each laser hair removal appointment

Remove skin bronzers completely prior to treatment. A sunscreen with SPF 35 or more should be used on any treatment areas exposed to the sun. If you have recently tanned you will be instructed to stay out of the sun and return for treatment when the tan has faded

After Your Laser Hair Removal Procedure:

• Immediately after your treatment there likely will be some slight redness, swelling around the hair follicles, and mild discomfort similar to a sunburn. You may use aloe gel or cool packs may be applied.
• You may also notice during and immediately after your session the smell of burned hairs. This is normal and will subside with cleansing.
• Do not rub, or pick the treated area. Do not use any loofahs or abrasive scrubs for at least 3 days or until any redness and sensitivity subsides.
• Avoid strenuous sports activities or hot water/ saunas/ Jacuzzi for up to 24 hours after treatment to minimize irritation and prolonged redness.
• If crusting or blistering develops apply Vaseline or ointment twice daily, to keep the area moist until healed and contact our office if the area shows signs of a worsening condition.
• Continue to use broad-spectrum SPF 30, or higher, for the duration of your treatments.

Scheduling Your Next Treatment:

• After your treatment, the hair may appear to grow for up to the next few weeks. This is simply the treated hair being shed from the follicle and is not new growth. Once the hair has fully shed you may be hair-free for a few days, up to a few weeks leading up to your next treatment.
• Shaving is recommended between sessions and is recommended the day prior to your next appointment to minimize discomfort. If the areas are not cleanly shaved, we may not be able to treat them.
• Your session typically is scheduled 4 weeks apart for facial areas, 6 to 8 weeks apart for other areas of the body. Adhering to this schedule is important to ensure the success of the treatments.
• Electrolysis, waxing, threading, tweezing or sugaring is to be avoided between sessions. Shaving or trimming of hair may be resumed normally during the duration of treatment.
• Touch-up sessions will be needed thru the years to maintain your results.
