Essentials You Must Know First Before A Laser Hair Removal

By Shirley Walker


Being too hairy down there or in your armpit may not really be a big concern in the United States. However, when going on a beach for a vacation, it may be an alarming sight to see too much of it. And thus, wearing a bikini for girls may not look too nice if there are unwanted hair in their armpits or legs, perhaps.

Two of the easiest ways to do so is by shaving or waxing. However, shaving may cause cuts and waxing may result to ingrown hairs. That is why Laser Hair Removal Richmond Hill has joined the list of effective alternatives to removing these strands.

Known as one of the most common cosmetic procedure in United States, Laser Hair Removal is a method which uses concentrated beam of light that goes directly to your hair follicles. Through this, future growth can be inhibited and thus, it would be deemed as an effective alternative especially for those who have light skin. While this procedure still does not guarantee permanency, you can expect at least extended freedom from this discomforting parts of your body.

Stay away from the heat of the sun. Since you will be dealing with the heat in the process, too much sun exposure might cause damages. Thus, as much as possible, try to schedule an appointment during winter. This way, you do not get too much exposure on the heat of the sun before your treatment.

Shaving the target area is a must. Unlike waxing where you need to grow your strands before a certain appointment, you must ensure that you have exposed only your roots for this process. This way it is easier for the laser light to heed directly to your follicles and thus killing the follicles of those hairs. If you insist to go to the clinic without shaving, your physician might have to hand you a razor then.

You might need to skip your usual skin care routines too. This means, you have to do away from using lotions, sunscreen and even makeup on the day of your appointment. This is because, these products may cause discoloration as a reaction to the treatment. This is also applicable even to prescribed creams and sometimes, these creams might also need to be avoided for two to four weeks.

Always consider having a test patch before you head on to the procedure. Usually, your physicians will do this for you during your first appointment. This should be an essential because not all skin type can suffice this treatment. It could react in such way that it can cause pigment problems, discoloration, and even scarring.

There are also medications which should be avoided beforehand. That is why it is always advisable that you ask your doctors if the medicine you are currently taking have ingredients which would cause your skin to become sensitive to lasers. If yes, then you may have to stop taking these medicines for a week or more before your appointment.

There are three definite reasons why people go for this type of removal. One is its precision, this means what should be targeted is the sole target. Second is its speed, it only takes a fraction of a second to treat multiple strands at the same time. And lastly is its predictability, although it does not work like magic, some patients end up with permanency after three to seven sessions.
