What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light to target and destroy hair follicles. The laser emits light absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair. This light energy converts to heat, damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting future hair growth.
Full Body Treatment Overview
Full body laser hair removal encompasses treatment of multiple large and small areas across the body, offering a comprehensive solution for unwanted hair. This treatment typically includes areas such as the legs, arms, back, chest, bikini line, underarms, and face. Each session targets hair follicles in their active growth phase, leading to progressive hair reduction over time.
Preparing for Your Treatment
- Initial Consultation
Before treatment, you’ll have a personalized consultation to assess your skin and hair type, discuss your goals, and create a tailored treatment plan. This ensures the laser settings are optimized for your unique needs. You can ask any questions during this thorough assessment.
- Shave the Area
Shave the treatment areas 24 hours before your appointment. This allows the laser energy to focus directly on the follicle, rather than being absorbed by surface hair. Do not wax, pluck, or use depilatory creams for at least four weeks prior.
- Avoid Sun Exposure
Protect your skin from sun exposure for several weeks leading up to your session. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of complications and affect treatment effectiveness. Always apply sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when outdoors.
During Your Laser Session
- Skin Preparation
Upon arrival, the treatment areas will be cleansed and prepared. A cooling gel may be applied to enhance comfort and protect the skin during the procedure. You will also be provided with protective eyewear.
- Laser Application
Our certified technician, Dasie, will use the advanced LightSheer Diode Laser device, which emits targeted pulses of light. The laser handpiece is moved across the skin, delivering energy to the hair follicles beneath the surface. Many clients describe the sensation as a gentle snap or rubber band flick.
- Targeting Follicles
The LightSheer technology is designed to precisely target the melanin within the hair follicle. This energy heats and damages the follicle, impeding its ability to grow new hair without harming the surrounding skin. The dual handpiece technology allows for efficient treatment of both large and small areas.
- Session Duration
The duration of a full body session varies depending on the number and size of areas being treated. However, thanks to the LightSheer’s large spot size, many treatments are completed efficiently. You can expect the session to be thorough yet manageable.
Post-Treatment Recovery
- Immediate Aftercare
Immediately after your session, you may experience mild redness or warmth in the treated areas, similar to a slight sunburn. This usually subsides within a few hours. Applying a soothing, non-comedogenic lotion or cool compress can help alleviate any discomfort.
- Sun Protection
It is crucial to protect treated skin from direct sun exposure for several days post-treatment. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher whenever you are outdoors. Sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation or other complications.
- Avoid Heat
For 24-48 hours after your treatment, avoid hot showers, baths, saunas, and intense exercise that can increase body temperature. Excessive heat can irritate the treated follicles. Lukewarm showers are generally fine.
- Exfoliation and Shedding
Treated hairs will gradually shed over one to two weeks following your session. You can gently exfoliate the skin to encourage this process. Avoid picking or pulling at the hairs, allowing them to fall out naturally.
Results and Timeline
You will notice a progressive reduction in hair growth after each session, with hair becoming finer and sparser. A series of 10 treatments, spaced about six weeks apart, is typically recommended to achieve optimal and lasting results. This schedule aligns with the hair growth cycle, ensuring follicles are targeted effectively.
