Laser Hair Removal
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Unwanted and excessive amounts of hair growth throughout the body can be emotionally uncomfortable and make men and women feel insecure about their appearance. Additionally, shaving and waxing can be painful and expensive, and these methods only offer temporary results. That is why Sei Bellissima is pleased to provide a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for laser hair removal.
Am I a Candidate?
During your consultation, one of our licensed and medically trained providers will determine if your skin type and the condition of your skin make you an ideal candidate for the laser hair removal treatment. Candidates for laser hair removal should be in overall good health and have realistic expectations of their treatment. Candidates for laser hair removal should not have sunburned, cut, damaged, or recently tanned skin.
Is there Downtime?
Our equipment offers little to no downtime. Recovery is quite simple, as the laser is designed to leave surrounding tissue unharmed. Immediately after your treatment, the skin in the treated area(s) may be slightly red and inflamed, with some patients describing the feeling like a mild sunburn. Generally, uncomfortable or abnormal sensations will resolve in a few hours. However, some patients may require one or two days for their skin to return to a normal state. Any persistent discomfort can be easily managed with cold compresses or over-the-counter pain medication.
Frequently Asked Questions
Before the treatment, the area to be treated will be cleansed. Some patients receive a numbing gel. Numbing the area to be treated helps when a small area will be treated and the skin is very sensitive. It takes about 30 to 60 minutes for a numbing gel to work. The laser treatment will take place in a room set up specifically for laser treatments. Everyone in the room must wear protective eyewear during the procedure. To perform the procedure, the skin is held taut and the skin is treated with the laser. Many patients say that the laser pulses feel like warm pinpricks or a rubber band being snapped against the skin.
How long your treatment lasts depends on the size of the area being treated. Treating the upper lip takes minutes. If you are having a large area like the back or legs treated, your treatment may last up to an hour.
To avoid possible side effects, all patients need to protect their skin from the sun. After laser hair removal, you should: Avoid direct sunlight from hitting your treated skin, Not use a tanning bed, sun lamp, or any other indoor tanning equipment, Follow your providors after-care instructions.
You will likely see the results immediately after treatment. The results vary from patient to patient. The color and thickness of your hair, area treated, type of laser used, and color of your skin all affect the results. You can expect a 10% to 25% reduction in hair after the first treatment.
Most patients remain hair free for months or even years. When some of the hair regrows, it will likely be less noticeable. To keep the area free of hair, a patient may need maintenance laser treatments.
