Laser Hair Removal – Part 1 – Getting Ready

Tip #2: Go for a consultation

Unfortunately, laser hair removal doesn’t work on everyone, and while they’ve made strides in technology over the last few years, a lot of treatments just don’t work on people with very rich, dark skin tones. These individuals run the risk of greater skin damage. Once you’ve found your clinic or laser centre, go talk to a doctor and see if you’re a good candidate. You’ll also understand an approximate number of sessions you’ll need. Often, sessions are booked every four to eight weeks, depending on your hair type and the area being treated. This is to ensure that the each treatment session targets every hair follicle within the area as hair follicles work on three to five week growth cycles. Your doctor will then go over any risks with you such as bruising, redness, irritation, pain management and more.
