Answers to Your Most Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal

November 17, 2023

A laser hair removal treatment offers a long-term solution to the tedious cycles of shaving, waxing or tweezing. At GLO Laser Aesthetics, we understand that the decision to undergo laser hair removal may come with a few questions. To assist you in making an informed decision, we have compiled and addressed some of the most frequently asked questions that we encounter regarding this cutting-edge procedure.


1. How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?


Laser hair removal utilizes a concentrated beam of light (laser) which is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in your hair. The light energy from the laser is converted to heat which damages the hair follicles, thereby inhibiting or delaying future hair growth.


2. Does Laser Hair Removal Cause Discomfort?


With the advanced technology of our Alma Soprano XL laser machine, the laser hair removal process is virtually pain-free. However, individuals with exceptionally thick and dark hair may experience slight discomfort. This machine's in-motion technology ensures a more comfortable and efficient treatment for all clients.


3. How Many Sessions Will I Need?


The number of sessions needed for optimal results varies, taking into consideration factors like hair type, treatment area, and the individual’s hair growth cycle. Generally, 8 to 12 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart are recommended for most individuals. At your initial consultation, our experts will design a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve smooth, hair-free skin.


4. Are There any Side Effects or Downtime?


Typical side effects include temporary redness and swelling. Very rarely, blistering or changes in skin pigmentation occur. But these side effects are often temporary. There's little to no downtime with laser hair removal, and most clients return to their daily activities immediately after treatment.


5. Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?


Laser hair removal slows hair growth significantly and in many cases, it can achieve long-lasting results. Touch-up sessions might still be required over time, especially if the treatment area is influenced by hormonal fluctuations.


6. Is Everyone a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?


While laser hair removal can work on almost any type of hair and skin color, the procedure tends to be most effective on individuals with darker hair and light skin. At GLO Laser Aesthetics, we work closely with each client to identify the most effective treatment options for their unique needs.


7. How Should I Prepare for My Session?


It is advised to avoid sun exposure and any form of hair removal other than shaving for six weeks prior to your treatment. The day before your session, shave the area to be treated. Remember, laser hair removal targets the roots of the hair, and shaving will not interfere with this process. Please avoid applying creams or deodorants.

Laser hair removal has rapidly gained popularity, especially among teenagers. This once luxury beauty treatment is now becoming a go-to solution for teens seeking long-lasting hair removal options. But what exactly is driving this shift, and why are parents increasingly supportive of this treatment for their children? Let’s take a closer look. The Benefits for Teens Today’s teens are more beauty-conscious than ever, and social media plays a major role in shaping these beauty standards. Smooth, hair-free skin is often seen as a norm, and with influencers showcasing flawless beauty routines, it’s no surprise that teens are turning to more permanent solutions like laser hair removal. Shaving, waxing, and other temporary methods require constant upkeep, but with laser hair removal, teens can enjoy smooth skin with minimal maintenance. Plus, laser hair removal works on a variety of skin and hair types, making it a versatile option for all teens. For parents, laser hair removal offers an effective, long-term solution to hair removal that saves time and money in the long run. No more spending on razors, waxing appointments, or the inconvenience of regular upkeep. Instead, teens can enjoy the freedom of having smooth skin year-round. This makes it an appealing choice for families looking to streamline their grooming routine and invest in a solution that will last. Why Parents Are Supporting the Trend Parents are increasingly open to laser hair removal as a safe, long-term solution for their teens. Shaving and waxing often come with irritation, cuts, or ingrown hairs, which can be frustrating for teens. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, eliminates these issues and provides smoother, healthier skin with less hassle. Many parents see it as a practical investment in their child’s self-confidence and convenience. With the benefits of less frequent maintenance and longer-lasting results, it’s easy to see why laser hair removal is becoming a preferred choice for both teens and their parents.
