What Is Laser Hair Removal and How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that targets and destroys hair follicles using concentrated light energy. The laser’s light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, converting it into heat, which damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth.
At True Jewel, we use the latest technology to ensure precise targeting and effective results. Laser hair removal works on the principle that hair follicles are most vulnerable during the growth phase. Since not all hairs are in the same growth phase at the same time, multiple sessions are required to achieve the best possible results. Over the course of treatments, you will notice a significant reduction in hair regrowth, leaving you with smooth, hair-free skin.
How Laser Hair Removal Works at True Jewel
The procedure begins with the use of a medical-grade laser that delivers energy to the hair follicles. As the light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, it damages the follicle and prevents it from producing new hair. The treated hair will naturally fall out over the following weeks, and the follicle will be unable to regrow new hair.
Laser hair removal is most effective for individuals with darker hair and lighter skin, though advancements in technology allow treatment for a wide variety of skin tones and hair colors. During the treatment, the laser is calibrated to ensure optimal energy delivery and minimal discomfort.
What Areas Can Be Treated with Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a versatile treatment that can be used on virtually any part of the body. Common treatment areas include:
Face: Remove unwanted facial hair, such as on the upper lip, chin, and jawline.
Underarms & Arms: Eliminate the need for shaving or waxing, leaving your skin smooth and free from stubble.
Legs: Whether you choose to treat the full legs or specific areas like the calves or thighs, laser hair removal offers long-lasting results.
Bikini Area: Choose from bikini line, extended bikini, or Brazilian treatments, and enjoy less irritation and ingrown hairs compared to traditional methods.
Back & Chest: A popular choice for men who want to reduce hair density and achieve a cleaner, more sculpted look.
Other Areas: Laser hair removal can also be done on the stomach, feet, neck, and hands.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is an excellent solution for individuals who want to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair with minimal effort and lasting results. You may be a good candidate if you:
- Want to reduce or remove unwanted hair on the face or body.
- Experience irritation, ingrown hairs, or frequent shaving.
- Are tired of the ongoing time and cost associated with other hair removal methods.
- Have dark, coarse hair (though technology allows treatment of a wider range of hair and skin types).
However, this treatment may not be suitable for:
- Individuals who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- People with certain skin conditions, such as active rashes or infections in the treatment area.
- Those with very light blonde, red, or gray hair, as the laser targets pigment in the hair follicle.
- Individuals on medications that increase sun sensitivity.
What to Expect at Your Laser Hair Removal Treatment
Before Treatment
Before your laser hair removal session, you should follow these simple guidelines to ensure the best results:
- Avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks before treatment. Tanned skin is more sensitive to laser treatments.
- Shave the treatment area 24 hours before your session to ensure that the laser targets the follicle directly, rather than surface hair.
- Refrain from waxing, plucking, or using depilatory creams for at least four weeks prior to treatment, as these methods remove the hair shaft, which is necessary for the treatment to be effective.
- Inform your provider about any medications or health conditions you may have to ensure laser hair removal is safe for you.
During Treatment
The treatment is quick and relatively comfortable. During your session, the area to be treated will be cleansed, and a cooling gel may be applied to protect your skin. The laser will be calibrated to match your skin type and hair color, and the treatment will begin.
You may feel a slight snapping sensation as the laser targets the hair follicles. Some clients describe the sensation as similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin, but discomfort is minimal, and most people tolerate the procedure well.
A typical session lasts between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
Aftercare and Recovery
There is no downtime after laser hair removal, and you can return to most of your daily activities immediately. However, to ensure the best results and minimize any potential side effects, follow these aftercare instructions:
- Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen to the treated areas for at least two weeks.
- Refrain from waxing, plucking, or shaving between treatments, as this can interfere with the effectiveness of the procedure.
- You may experience mild redness, swelling, or a slight sunburn sensation after treatment. These effects should subside within a few hours to a day.
- Avoid hot tubs, saunas, or intense workouts for 24–48 hours post-treatment.
How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Last?
Laser hair removal is a long-term solution to unwanted hair, but it may require multiple sessions to achieve optimal results. Most clients see a significant reduction in hair growth after 4 to 8 sessions, depending on the treatment area and hair type.
After the initial treatment series, results can last for years, and maintenance sessions may be needed once or twice a year to maintain smooth, hair-free skin.
