Answers to Your Most Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Removal

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.
