In this blog, we are going to address our most commonly asked questions for laser hair removal near Blaine. Hopefully, this will help you determine if our laser hair removal treatments are right for you. And if you have questions that aren’t answered here, you can always reach out to our experts, who are more than happy to provide you with the answers you need.
Are the results permanent?
Your results can last for years, but are not permanent. Natural bodily processes like hormone changes can reactivate the hair follicles and cause hair to begin growing again. In that case, you would need to visit our team for maintenance treatments.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Laser hair removal can be uncomfortable, but it should never be painful. Most patients describe the feeling as similar to a rubber band lightly snapping against their skin. However, the laser we use has advanced cooling technology to help with this feeling, and your provider will also apply a topical cooling cream before your appointment to make you as comfortable as possible.
Can I get an at-home laser hair removal kit?
Yes, there are at-home laser hair removal kits available, but regulations make them less effective than in-office treatments. They will most likely not be able to target all the hair you would like to remove, especially if you have thick, coarse, or dark hair. That is why, for truly impactful results, we recommend getting in-office laser hair removal.
How should I prepare for laser hair removal?
You can prepare for your appointment by shaving your hair about 24 to 48 hours beforehand. Do not wax, tweeze, or use any other methods that remove the entire hair follicle. Sticking to shaving can reduce discomfort during treatment without impacting how effective the treatment will be.
