Save Time and Energy By Eliminating Unwanted Hair
With over 20 years of experience with the Light Sheer Diode, we provide efficient and long-lasting Huntsville laser hair removal treatments that offer results to cherish. This procedure not only addresses unwanted hair but also ensures a permanent hair reduction. Such treatments save time, effort, and energy in your grooming routine, bestowing a silky-smooth look that's challenging to achieve through other methods like waxing or tweezing.
Unwanted body and facial hair, especially in areas like the upper lip or bikini area, can affect a person's confidence, social engagements, wardrobe choices, and overall mood. Continuous shaving or combating hair growth can be tiresome. If you're pondering laser hair removal options in Huntsville and Madison, Alabama, here's what you should understand.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Treatment Work?
The Light Sheer Diode's laser light transfers to the hair pigment melanin, damaging the hair follicle. Before the cosmetic procedure, one should shave the treatment area, ensuring the skin’s surface melanin remains undamaged.
What To Expect Before & After
Prior to your session, a topical numbing cream gets applied to mitigate any discomfort the laser might produce. The laser will be adjusted based on skin tone, hair color, hair thickness, and hair removal location. The technician then sends a laser pulse to the target area.
Post-treatment, the treatment area might feel discomfort for a day or two. Common descriptions liken it to the sensation of a sunburn. Relief includes ice packs, cool water, and anti-inflammatory creams. Your subsequent session gets scheduled 4-6 weeks later. Treatments persist until achieving the anticipated permanent reduction.
Benefits of Laser Hair Removal
Lasers can target various body areas with unwanted body hair, including legs, arms, face, back, underarm, bikini zone, and more. The laser hair reduction benefits are:
-
Precision targeting without impairing the neighboring skin.
-
Swift treatment with each pulse targeting multiple hairs.
-
Most achieve permanent reduction within 3-7 sessions.
Risks of Laser Hair Removal
Potential side effects include redness, swelling, and scarring, with permanent scars and pigment changes (like hyperpigmentation) being rare. Blisters might form occasionally.
