Frequently Asked Questions About Laser Hair Reduction cont
•How often can I repeat the treatment?
As long as the hair follicle or surrounding skin is not red, sore or inflamed, treatment can
be repeated after 24 hours. Most people wait 3-4 weeks between treatments to see
which hairs have been shed and to identify new re-growth.
•How many treatments will I need?
Laser hair removal is generally considered to be effective after 6 treatments over a 6
month period. This varies by person and the area being treated, hair density, hair growth
cycle and colour. Dark hair on fair skin responds best, but both dark and fair hair may
take several treatments for long-term results. Some individuals may require more, and
some fewer treatments, to achieve satisfaction. Initially you will notice a gradual
reduction of the number of hairs. Women who suffer excessive hair growth due to male
type hormones are likely to require long term maintenance.
•Can I use other hair removal methods between treatments?
Laser hair removal needs a hair to be present in the follicle, hair removal methods which
pluck the hair, such as waxing, epilators and tweezing are NOT suitable for use between
treatments. Bleaching hairs is also NOT suitable as it removes the pigment and renders the
laser ineffective. Shaving, micro-dermabrasion discs and cream depilatories are ideal for
use between treatments.
•Is there any aftercare routine I should follow?
Sun exposure or deep tanning should be avoided for at least a week. If the skin is
exposed use a sunscreen. Also avoid using abrasive cleansers or skin peeling treatments.
Avoid swimming in chlorinated water or using a hot tub for 48 hours.
