5 facts you need to know

Why do people have laser hair removal in Jupiter? Because it’s a more permanent procedure that allows you to reduce the amount of hair more than other methods of hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a technology that targets the hair follicles in areas such as armpits, legs, and back. Before you think of getting a laser treatment, here are 5 facts you need to know.

1. Drop the wax and tweezers, pick up the razor

As the laser works by destroying the hair follicle, which is the base where the hair grows, you need that to be intact for the treatment to work well. Therefore, you shouldn’t wax or pluck for six weeks before treatment, nor in between treatments. The only way to remove unwanted hair would be by waxing.

2. Dark hair, light skin works better

Laser targets dark, coarse hair, while leaving the surrounding area undamaged. That’s why laser treatments work best for people with light skin and dark hair. People with dark skin are more prone to burns (although that doesn’t mean it won’t work), while light hair is more difficult to target and remove.

3. It’s a fast process

The device that emits the laser can treat many hairs at the same time in an area of the size of a quarter. This means that the treatment is very fast: the upper lip can take only a minute, the back can take up to an hour.

4. Your daily routine changes

As it is a medical treatment, you’ll need to prepare correctly and to take proper care after the laser session. This includes no tanning for 6 weeks before or after the session, use sunscreen of at least SPF 30 daily, shaving the day before the session, and avoiding exercise, saunas or hot showers for 24 hours after.

5. It takes time

Although people expect to lose hair immediately after the session and for the hair loss to be permanent after a couple of appointments, the changes are slower than that. After each session, your hair will seemingly continue to grow (it’s actually ejecting what is inside the follicle), and will only fall off about two weeks after the session. Similarly, people start seeing hair reduction after the second or third treatment, and it takes between 6 and 12 treatments for full results.
