Laser Hair Removal Plano TX: What You Should Know

Laser Hair Removal Plano TX

Laser Hair Removal Plano TXIt is not just the time-consuming upkeep of shaving or waxing your legs that might make you consider laser hair removal in Plano TX. Abundant and too-dark hair on your arms, face, back, or other inconvenient part of your body is also a reason for opting for permanent or semi-permanent hair removal. Advances in technology makes the process pain-free for most people, and the appointments are far less frequent than ones you make for waxing. You can always ask your dermatologist or aesthetician any questions you might have, but there are some basic facts about laser hair removal in Plano TX patients should know.

Your Hair Color Matters

Lasers used for hair removal work best on dark hair because it is the color in the hair follicle that they home in on. Blondes, redheads, and people with gray hair have occasionally undergone treatment, but most professionals typically won’t treat people with those hair shades as the laser light is not as effective on them and they cannot guarantee satisfactory results. Additionally, sometimes skin color affects how successful treatment can be. If there is not much of a difference in the pigment in your hair and skin, treatment may not be effective.

Shave Beforehand

When you make an appointment for laser hair removal in Plano TX, you will be instructed to shave a day or two before your treatment. Because the laser targets the hair follicles rather than the hairs themselves, shaving makes it easier for the laser to focus on the follicles and provide optimal results, according to Women’s Health.

Irritating But Not Painful

Everyone is different, and one person’s pain is another’s slight discomfort. Overall, laser hair removal treatments are not outright agonizing, but you may experience skin irritation and possibly some redness at the treatment site. Taking an over the counter painkiller before the treatment may be helpful, and using ice packs afterward will provide comfort, too. Some clinics will apply a topical anesthetic cream for you after the treatment, too.

There is not a prescribed recuperation time after laser hair removal. However, if your skin does become irritated, it would be wise to avoid things like hot baths, heating pads, and tanning beds or direct sunlight for a couple of days afterward, as well as other irritants such as exfoliating body scrubs and lotions containing glycolic acid.

It Is Not For Everyone

Typically a person has to be 18 years or older to undergo laser hair removal, according to Teen Vogue. Aside from the liability issue, people who are still experiencing puberty are producing new follicles at a faster rate than adults. Most professionals recommend waiting until this accelerated growth phase is over before going through laser hair removal treatment.
