Laser hair removal has become a popular choice for those seeking a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair. If you’re considering this treatment, you may have some questions. Here at Infinity Med-I-Spa, we’ve compiled a list of frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision.

Q: Is laser hair removal painful?

A: While some discomfort is possible, the technology used in this service has advanced significantly in recent years. Most patients describe the feeling as a slight prickling sensation, especially with the cooling mechanisms integrated into modern lasers. Our treatments are tailored to your unique skin and hair type, ensuring optimal results with a focus on safety and comfort.

Q: Does laser hair removal work on all skin and hair types?

A: The treatment targets melanin, the pigment in hair follicles, and struggles to differentiate between light skin and light-colored hair. However, advancements in laser technology allow for treatment on a wider range of skin tones and hair colors. The Cynosure Apogee Elite laser contains two laser systems and two different wavelengths. That means it can be used to treat patients with all skin types. The addition of the YAG laser allows us to treat patients of darker skin types for excessive hair growth, especially of the face, armpits, and bikini lines. During your free consultation at Infinity Med-I-Spa, our experienced technicians will assess your skin and hair type to determine if this service is the right option for you.

Q: How many treatments are needed for optimal results?

A: While the treatment can significantly reduce hair growth to the point that you can stop shaving altogether, periodic maintenance may be necessary. During treatment, the laser targets hair in its growth phase. However, not all hair follicles are actively growing at any given time. For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is necessary to target hairs in different growth phases. Once the initial series is complete, touch-up treatments may be needed every few years to maintain smooth, hair-free skin.

Q: Are there any side effects?

A: Side effects are generally minimal and temporary. Some patients may experience redness, swelling, or slight discomfort for a short period after treatment. These effects typically subside within a few days. It’s important to follow your technician’s aftercare instructions to minimize the risk of side effects and promote healing.

Q: How long does laser hair removal take?

A: The treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas, like the upper lip or underarms, can be treated in as little as 15 minutes. Larger areas, such as the legs or back, may take up to an hour or more. Your technician will be able to provide you with an estimated treatment time during your consultation.

Q: Is laser hair removal safe?

A: When performed by a qualified professional using FDA-approved equipment, laser hair removal is considered a safe procedure. At Infinity Med-I-Spa, our technicians are highly trained and experienced in providing safe and effective laser hair removal treatments.
