How to Prepare for Your First Laser Hair Removal Session

March 4, 2024

Unwanted body hair can be such a nuisance, but thanks to modern technology, we have sustainable solutions like laser hair removal. As you prepare for your first session at GLO Laser Aesthetics, let us walk you through this transformative process.


Introduction to Laser Hair Removal


Laser hair removal is a medical-grade procedure aiming to permanently reduce hair growth. It works by emitting a laser that provides heat to hair follicles, halting their ability to produce hair. Sessions can last from 20 minutes to an hour, depending upon the area treated.


Pre-Session Prep


The first step to successful laser hair removal is your pre-session preparation. We recommend shaving the area 24-48 hours before your appointment to minimize discomfort, we need a clean shave, so if you find your hair grows is quick then shave the day of your appointment. Refrain from waxing, epilating, or plucking as it removes hair from the root, making the laser treatment less effective.


Skin & Laser Consultation


Before your treatment, you’ll meet with one of our certified laser technicians to discuss your skin type, hair type, and any concerns you may have. This consultation ensures that you receive a personalized treatment and the best possible results.


Expectations During The Treatment


Although laser hair removal is relatively painless, some people might experience a slight stinging sensation, often compared to the snap of a rubber band on the skin. Don’t worry - our friendly team is here to put you at ease, ensuring you're comfortable throughout your appointment.


Post-Treatment Care


Post-treatment care is just as critical as pre-session preparation. You may experience some redness or slight swelling - this is completely normal and should subside within a few hours. Following the procedure, aim to keep your skin moisturized, and avoid sun exposure to prevent pigment changes.


Multiple Sessions for Optimum results


Laser hair removal is not a one-time solution - it often requires several sessions every 6 to 8 weeks apart to ensure optimal and permanent results. Depending on your hair and skin type, our experts will recommend the necessary amount of sessions for best outcomes.

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.
