How does Laser Work?
By emitting light energy, the pigment within the hair follicles absorbs light, which is then converted into heat*..the heat loosens the hair, disables the cells, and destroys the possibility of new hair growth. Treatments are safe, comfortable and can be used on all areas of the body, with the exception of eyebrows. They include: Bikini, Underarms, Face, Arms, Back, Chest, Arms, Legs, Torso, Legs, Tummy, etc.
How do I prepare for Laser?
You will be asked to shave the treatment area prior to your session. To ensure a safe & effective treatment, it is extremely important to avoid direct sun exposure, self-tanners and tanning beds 4 weeks prior to treatment. Clients are advised to inform us in situations where this has not been possible. It is best to avoid waxing, threading, bleaching prior to sessions.
Does treatment hurt? The laser pulse feels like the snap of an elastic band and lasts only a fraction of a second. An anaesthetic cream can be used before the treatment to numb the area. Since many hairs are treated with one pulse, a treatment session may last only minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Is treatment permanent? Laser hair removal offers long-term reduction of hair. Some hairs cannot be eliminated entirely and the treatment cannot prevent new hairs from growing with future aging. After 5 to 8 treatments, patients can expect about 70 to 90% hair reduction that should last for more several years. What remains, is usually finer lighter hair that clients find "inconsequential".
Is Laser Haire Removal Safe?
ALL Laser Sessions at The Facial Place include ZIMMER INTEGRATED COOLING® demonstrating to you that your "Laser Session does not have to hurt, in order to be effective!" Clients are able to resume normal activities immediately after their lasertreatment, and although some may experience mild redness/warmth, this usually subsides within a couple of hours. *Note, most clients experience no side effects at all.
For individuals with a darker skin type, our Technicians will perform "spot tests", allowing us the opportunity to determine a SAFE baseline from which to start.
The number of treatments varies depending on the texture and location of the hair, as well as the colour of the client's skin. On average clients can expect to require between 5 -8 sessions. Sessions are usually spaced 6 weeks apart, and yet this can vary, depending on the area being treated.
How much does laser cost?
