What Happens Before The Treatment?
Before you receive the treatment, the target areas on your skin will be cleaned and disinfected.
In case you chose a skin clinic that is upscale and has a stellar reputation (which you should by the way!) then the target areas on your skin will be treated with a numbing gel.
The purpose of this gel is to keep you from feeling the minimal sensation that is similar to a rubber band snapping against your skin, the moment the laser beam makes contact with the same.
If you chose that your skin be subjected to this numbing gel then you would need to wait for an hour as it is the minimum time needed by the gel to show its effects.
What Happens During The Treatment?
The treatment will be conducted in a room that is specially designed. All the staff members, equipment handlers, the expert holding the laser equipment and you will be wearing protective eyewear. After that, the target area of the skin will be held firmly to keep wrinkles at bay. The laser equipment is then turned on and the treatment begins.
As the laser beams are making contact with the target areas of your skin, the body hair strands in the same will be vaporized.
How Long Does A Typical Laser Hair Removal Treatment Session Last?
It all boils down to –
- The size of the target area
- The complexion of your skin
- The density of hair strands per square inch of your skin and
- The overall accessibility of the target area.
What One Must Do After The Treatment?
