What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic treatment that uses concentrated beams of light to penetrate the skin and destroy the hair follicles. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the follicles, which heats up and damages the follicles enough to prevent future hair growth.

How Does Laser Hair Removal in Virginia Beach Work?

Laser hair removal is a permanent hair removal treatment that is performed by a professional cosmetic and skin health technician. You will find these professionals at LightRx in Virginia Beach. The provider will use a handheld device to direct the laser light at the treatment area. 

You may feel a mild stinging sensation as the laser light hits your skin, but this should subside quickly. The entire treatment usually takes less than an hour, although larger treatment areas may take longer.

How You Can Prepare for Laser Hair Removal

Prior to your laser hair removal appointment, you should avoid sun exposure as much as possible. This will help reduce the risk of side effects such as skin irritation and pigmentation changes. You should also shave the treatment area completely so that the laser light can penetrate the hair follicles more easily. But do not pluck or wax the treatment area as this can make it harder to reach the folice. 

What You Can Expect From Your First Laser Hair Removal Treatment

During your first laser hair removal treatment, you will likely see some immediate results. However, it typically takes multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. How many treatments you need will depend on the size and location of the treatment area, as well as your hair’s growth cycle. Most people need between 4 and 8 treatments to see their desired results.

Is There an Age Restriction for Laser Hair Removal?

There is no age restriction for laser hair removal, although minors will need to have parental consent prior to treatment.

How Is Laser Hair Removal Different From Electrolysis?

Laser hair removal and electrolysis are both cosmetic procedures that can be used to remove unwanted hair. However, there are some key differences between the two. Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light to destroy the hair follicles, while electrolysis uses electrical currents to damage the follicles. 

Laser hair removal is usually considered more effective and faster than electrolysis, but it may not be suitable for very small areas or very light-colored hair.

How Long Do Laser Hair Removal Results Last?

Laser hair removal results are not permanent, but they can last for several months to years. The length of time will depend on the individual’s hair growth cycle and the number of treatments received. Most people need touch-up treatments every few months to maintain their results.
