The specifics of your laser hair removal depend on the area of your body undergoing treatment. Your provider creates a personalized beauty plan and reviews the details before your first session.
While you relax in the treatment chair, your provider cleanses your skin with an antibacterial agent. They may also apply a numbing lotion to ease discomfort during laser therapy.
Then, they apply the laser tool to your skin and start treatment. You may feel a snapping sensation as the laser energy targets the hair follicles. Laser hair removal may take a few minutes or up to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Your skin may be red and swollen after your laser session, but there’s no need for any downtime. You need to protect your treated skin with sunscreen or clothing following your session to prevent hyperpigmentation.
