5 Things to Know Before Getting Laser Hair Removal in Detroit

Laser hair removal is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the U.S., and its popularity continues to skyrocket. If you are looking for a Detroit med spa that performs laser hair removal, LightRx can service all your beauty needs. Our professionals can answer all your questions about Detroit laser hair removal.

How It Works

Laser hair removal is a noninvasive medical procedure that uses highly concentrated light to penetrate hair follicles. The pigment in the hair shaft/follicle absorbs the laser light, and this energy is turned into heat, which renders the follicle inactive, preventing future hair growth. This is a permanent solution for unwanted hair.

The best news is the surrounding skin is completely unaffected by the procedure and, in most cases, improved. After a hair removal treatment, you will experience smooth skin with no nicks, stubble, ingrown hairs, or bumps.

Understanding Why You Need Multiple Treatments

Hair follicles have three growth stages, and laser hair removal only works when our hair follicles are in the growth or anagen phase. After laser hair removal, the number of hairs in a given area comes back finer, lighter, and fewer in number. Each area of our body has different hair growth phases, so successful treatment requires several visits.

Each treatment continually reduces hair until the follicles are no longer active. Most clients only need 6-8 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart. The number of sessions is also influenced by hair color, type, skin tone, and body area treated. Do not pluck hairs before the laser because plucking removes the hair shaft, eliminating the procedure’s ability to work.

It’s Safe

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), laser hair removal is very safe. The side effects are similar to what you would experience with waxing; slight skin irritation, minor swelling, or temporary pigment changes, but these side effects generally subside within a few hours of treatment.

You may experience some discomfort during treatment, but compared to waxing, it is easier to handle, and most people find it very tolerable. The best description of the sensation is feeling warm, tiny pinpricks, or a rubber band snapping against your skin.

It’s Effective

LightRx specializes in Detroit laser hair removal, and our laser, The Venus Viva, is an advanced form of laser hair removal technology that provides a safe and effective solution with minimal risk of side effects or discomfort. Our laser system delivers customized results using NanoFractional Radio Frequency Technology (RF) to target and destroy hair follicles without damaging the surrounding skin for a permanent solution to unwanted body hair.

Treatment Areas

Full Leg laser hair removal-A safe, effective treatment that can provide smooth, stubble-free legs without the need for waxing or shaving. Eliminates shaving skin irritation, ingrown hairs, and less risk of skin infections. This option is excellent for long-lasting results with minimal discomfort and no downtime.

Arm/Underarm hair removal-Lasers have revolutionized the way we deal with unwanted body hair. This is one of the most popular treatments at LightRx. Our procedure permanently removes underarm hair. The results are quick, with no downtime or lingering side effects.

Bikini/Brazilian hair removal-Hair density in this area varies from person to person, but you will see a significant reduction in bikini area hair after just a few sessions. Hair becomes lighter and thinner with about an 80% reduction, and it’s not uncommon to require maintenance once or twice a year. Following your personalized treatment plan provides the greatest success and results.

Facial laser hair removal-Our skilled cosmetic professionals understand facial hair removal and will design a personalized plan for you—silky-smooth, hair-free skin permanently, with no downtime.
