Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular hair removal techniques in use today. As with any type of treatment that involves a laser, certain precautions and guidelines should be followed. To ensure that you receive the highest quality treatment available, I have put together five things that you should ask before your laser hair removal treatment.

What Type of Laser Will Be Used?
In the process of laser hair removal, there are typically two types of lasers used. For individuals with a lighter skin tone, they are often treated using an Alexandrite laser, which is viewed as the top of the line laser in the field. For clients who have naturally darker skin tones, a specific YAG laser will typically be used.

Who Will Perform The Procedure?
Any time a laser hair removal procedure is performed, it should be by someone who well-trained in the process. The process of laser hair removal is not something that should be performed by someone with little to no experience. Each technician should be thoroughly trained and educated in the correct usage of the device. This will ensure that you do not experience any problems or damage to your skin.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?
In the area of laser hair removal, the number of sessions required to achieve your desired look may vary. The average number of sessions ranges from four to six, but some people experience results in fewer sessions.

Will A Tan Affect My Laser Hair Removal?
If you ask a laser hair removal technician this question and they answer yes, you should find another technician. While it is possible to treat tanned skin, it has to be done at such a low setting that the session is not effective. If you plan on undergoing laser hair removal, you should do so when your skin isn’t tanned.

What Is The Cost of Laser Hair Removal?
In order for laser hair removal to be effective; you will likely require a number of sessions. There are a number of different plans available for clients to choose from that are designed to ensure they receive the hair removal treatment they need at a price they can afford.

Since it was first introduced in 1987, the Brazilian wax has steadily grown in popularity. There are different versions of this particular waxing style, but a true Brazilian wax refers to all of the hair in the bikini region, front and back is removed. This leaves a clean and uniform look to the bikini area; if you are not a fan of going completely bare, you may opt for the popular landing strip. This term is used to describe a thin portion of hair which is left in the front. If you have never undergone a Brazilian wax, I’m going to explain the process in complete detail.
​

• When you arrive for your appointment, you will be escorted to a private room where you can then remove your clothing from the waist down. Once you’re ready, you will then lie on a table and wait for your technician to arrive. In order for your procedure to be successful, it is highly recommended that your existing hair be between ¼ – ½ inch in order for the wax to properly adhere to the hair. To save your technician a little bit of work, you may choose to trim your pubic hair using an electric razor prior to your appointment.
• Once you are ready to begin, your technician will begin applying wax to your pubic area. Each time wax is applied, your waxer will use a fresh applicator stick. The waxing process will begin in the front and move towards the back. When needed, you may be asked to hold portions of your skin flat so that the wax can properly be applied.
• The entire process of a Brazilian wax is relatively quick. This means a much more enjoyable experience for you and less discomfort during and after the procedure. If you would prefer to have a landing strip left in place, you should inform your waxing technician prior to beginning the process. Once the waxing process is complete, your technician will remove any stray hairs that may have been missed and apply a soothing lotion over the areas that were waxed.

Have you decided that it’s time to remove your tattoo?  If so, you may be curious about the different types of removal procedures available. To help you choose the best tattoo removal method, we will explain some of the options available for you to choose from.

You’ve likely heard of the different techniques that can be used to remove an unwanted tattoo.  While these procedures may provide you with the results you want, they can also leave you with unwanted scars.  Having a tattoo surgically removed is one option; while this option may be effective for very small sized tattoo removal, it often results in scarring of the skin if the tattoo is larger in size.

Another tattoo removal method is cryosurgery, also referred to as cryotherapy.  During this type of procedure, your tattoo is freeze-burned using liquid nitrogen.  While this procedure has been proven to be effective in the removal of warts, it does leave something to be desired when it comes to successfully removing a tattoo.

LASER TATTOO REMOVAL IS EFFECTIVE

One of the most popular and effective tattoo removal methods is laser tattoo removal.  This process is effective because the ink of your tattoo can be targeted by the laser which then causes the ink to break up into fragments.  These residual fragments of ink are then naturally eliminated from your body by your immune system.  The process of removing your tattoo through the use of lasers is not a single visit procedure.  In order to obtain the desired results, you should be prepared for multiple visits.

While laser tattoo removal can be a rather time consuming procedure, it has been shown to be the most effective when it comes to lessening the visibility of your tattoo.  The technology used in the laser removal process has advanced in recent years.  You can now expect to see less scarring, in some cases none at all, and the level of pain experienced is rather minimal.  So, rather than waste time trying other procedures, you should definitely consider laser removal.  It has been shown to be the most effective tattoo removal method available.

It’s Important to Know About Laser Tattoo Removal Safety

Laser tattoo removal is something that anyone who has grown tired of their tattoos can benefit from.  To help you understand the process and what is involved, I have listed some helpful tips that will help you understand laser tattoo removal safety.

When you first arrive for your appointment, you will undergo some basic preparation. This will include the placement of protective eye shields over your eyes to protect them from the laser that will be used.  Your skin will also be tested to determine how it will react to the laser.  This also helps the technician determine what the most effective energy level for treatment should be.

Once you have undergone the initial preparation for the procedure, you are then ready to begin the procedure. During the course of treatment, you will have a hand piece placed against the surface of your skin.  Once the laser has been activated, you will soon begin to experience the pulse of the laser.  Many people have described this as being similar to having a rubber band snapped against your skin.

While it is common for tattoos that are smaller to require fewer sessions, you should be aware that the larger your tattoo is, the more treatments you will need to receive to lighten the tattoo to a point that you are satisfied with.

Once your treatment has been completed, you will then receive an ice pack which should be placed on the area that was treated with the laser. You will also receive after care instructions that may include directions on the application of any topical antibiotic creams or ointments.  You will also be instructed to apply sunscreen to the area that was treated to help protect it from the harmful rays of the sun.

You should keep in mind that once your procedure has been performed, your skin is at risk of becoming infected. You are also at risk of developing a scar on the skin where the procedure was performed.  If properly treated, you will greatly reduce the risk of infection.

Another risk that is associated with tattoo removal is hypopigmentation; this is when the skin that was treated with the laser becomes lighter than the surrounding skin.
