LASER Hair Removal - Denver, Co

• Avoid direct sun exposure on the treatment area for 14 days as the skin cannot be sunburned or tan during treatment.
• Do not wax or use depilatories before or during the course of treatments.
• Shave hair 24-48 hours prior, treatments are more effective and comfortable with a close shave.

• The treatment area may feel warm and tender to the touch.
• You may experience a redness and swelling around the hair follicles that resembles a rash. This will fade quickly, but in rare cases can persist for a few days up to a week.
• Within a few days the treated hair will look like it’s growing again but it is actually shedding from the skin.
• 4-6 weeks post-treatment, hair will grow back thinner and finer and is treated again until it is fully reduced or eliminated.

• You can apply a cold compress to the area for a few hours after treatment if needed.
• Apply aloe to the skin several times a day if you are experiencing a sunburn-like sensation.
• Shaving or the use of an exfoliating scrub in the area post treatment will help exfoliate and eliminate ingrown hairs.
• Avoid sun and heat such as hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms, and vigorous exercise to reduce the chance of hyperpigmentation (darker pigmentation).

Darker skin tones, just like in the sun, will attract and absorb the light and heat from the laser more readily, exposing them to a higher risk for laser burn or prolonged irritation post treatment.

However, with the proper laser and energy setting dark and black skin tones can successfully get laser hair removal.

• There is a risk of scarring and burning.
• Short term effects may include: reddening, mild burning, temporary bruising or blistering. Hyper-pigmentation (browning) and hypopigmentation (lightening) have also been noted after treatment.
• These conditions usually resolve within 3-6 months, but permanent color change is a rare risk. Avoiding sun exposure before and after the treatment reduces the risk of color change.
• Allergic Reactions: in rare cases, a delayed persistent urticarial rash notable for pale red, raised, itchy bumps may occur; an oral steroid may be prescribed to mitigate this effect.
• Exposure of our eyes to laser light could harm your vision. You must keep the eye protection goggles on at all times during treatment.
• Compliance with the aftercare guidelines is crucial for healing, prevention of scarring, and hyper-pigmentation.

Most people liken the sensation to a warm rubber band snap. Although uncomfortable, it is tolerable.

The good news is that extra comfort is provided through a simmer machine that forcefully blows cold air simultaneously at the treatment area.

It’s also not a bad idea to take 400mg of Ibuprofen 45 minutes prior.

LASER can only effectively treat hair in the active growth stage, when the hair is still attached to the follicle.

Only about 10 to 20 percent of the hair on your body is in the active growth stage at any given time so most people need around six to nine treatments, spaced four to eight weeks apart, depending on the area being treated.

Our IPL and LASER technology is much more powerful and effective than at home options.

Most at home devices can temporarily reduce the hair but it does not permanently get rid of it.

Excellent long-term results Fast treatment sessions that can take only minutes Great for reducing hair from larger areas Comfortable treatments with no downtime

Light-based permanent hair reduction can remove hair from faces (except around eyes), backs, chests, arms, underarms, bikini lines, legs, toes, feet, hands and buttocks.

Permanent hair reduction is available for all skin types, including very light and very dark skin, and most hair colors. Your provider will determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure based on a variety of factors.

Light is used to target and destroy hair follicles responsible for hair growth without harming surrounding tissue, so there’s minimal risk.

For more comfortable and effective results please shave all areas to be treated the day of your service.

Permanent hair reduction treatments take just minutes for small areas and about a half hour for larger areas.

Most people feel only a slight, momentary “snap” at the treatment site during the procedure.

You can resume regular daily activities immediately following treatment.
