What Is Laser Hair Removal? 

Laser hair removal is a medical spa laser treatment that uses concentrated light to penetrate the hair follicle and destroy the hair at its root. It is a popular choice for those looking for safe and effective hair removal because it offers long-term results. 

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work? 

Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin, or pigment, in the hair follicle. The light from the laser is absorbed by the melanin and converted to heat. This heat then destroys the hair follicle and prevents future hair growth. 

How Can I Prepare for My Laser Hair Removal Treatment? 

You should avoid sun exposure for at least six weeks prior to your treatment. This will help ensure that the laser can target the hair follicles more effectively. 

You should also avoid shaving, tweezing, or waxing for at least two weeks before your treatment. This will help ensure that the hair follicle is intact and that the laser can target it effectively. 

What Can I Expect From My First Laser Hair Removal Treatment? 

You will be asked to remove any clothing or jewelry that might get in the way of the laser. You will also be given protective eyewear to wear during the treatment. 

The area to be treated will be cleaned and a gel or cream will be applied to help the laser light penetrate the skin. The laser will then be directed at the treatment area. You may feel a brief prickling or stinging sensation as the laser treats the hair follicles. 

The entire treatment will take about 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

Below you will find the answers to the most frequently asked questions we hear from our new and existing clients about laser hair removal in Louisville. Please contact our skin care professionals at LightRx in Louisville if you have specific questions or concerns that are not addressed below. 

Is Laser Hair Removal Safe for Everyone? 

Laser hair removal is safe for most people. However, there are a few medical conditions that can make it unsafe. Your technician will ask you about specific medical concerns as they pertain to laser hair removal during your personal consultation prior to scheduling your first treatment. 

What Is the Total Cost of Laser Hair Removal in Louisville? 

The total cost of laser hair removal will vary depending on the size of the treatment area and the number of treatments required. 

During your free personal consultation, our staff at LightRx will develop a treatment plan specifically for you which will include the total cost of your laser hair removal treatments. This price will include how many treatments you will need and the frequency at which you will need treatment to achieve your desired results.

Is There an Age Restriction for Laser Hair Removal? 

There is no age restriction for laser hair removal. However, we do recommend that minors have written consent from a parent or guardian prior to scheduling their treatment. 

How Is Laser Hair Removal Different From Electrolysis? 

Laser hair removal and electrolysis are both effective methods of hair removal. However, there are some key differences between the two. 

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light to target and destroy the hair follicle. Electrolysis, on the other hand, is an invasive treatment that uses a needle to target and destroy the hair follicle. 

Laser hair removal can be used to treat large areas at once, while electrolysis is best suited for small, targeted areas. 

Laser hair removal results are typically long-lasting, while electrolysis results are permanent. 

How Long Do Laser Hair Removal Results Last? 

The results of laser hair removal are usually long-lasting. However, some people may experience regrowth of facial or body hair over time. Maintenance treatments may be required to keep the hair follicles from growing back and to achieve permanent hair removal.
