Frequently asked questions about Laser Hair Redcution and Removal
How does laser hair removal work?
The laser beam passes through the skin and is absorbed in the hair follicle residing underneath the skin’s surface. The laser energy destroys the hair follicle. This unique process affects the hair follicles, disabling the hair’s capacity to grow.
How long will the laser hair removal procedure take?
Each laser pulse treats about a half-inch area, which can contain up to 10 or more hair follicles. The amount of time needed depends on the size of area treated. Treatments on the back or legs can take up to one hour, while treatments of the underarms and bikini generally take 10 minutes. The upper lip and chin can be done in less than 5 minutes.
Are there any side effects?
The treated area may become slightly pink or red afterwards. This will go away within a few minutes to a few hours and in some rare cases a few days.
Is the laser treatment painful?
The treatment is generally not painful and is well tolerated. Some patients describe the treatment as a sensation like the snap of a rubber band – a lot less painful than plucking or waxing. The experts at FLOKA Laser & Spa work diligently on helping you achieve the look you want with as little pain as possible.
Are the results of laser hair removal permanent?
Everyone will need at least 4 to 7 treatments for effective permanent hair removal. The fabulous thing is that remaining hair returns lighter and softer. Results vary depending on skin and hair type.
Who is a candidate for laser hair removal?
If you are concerned about unwanted hair, you are probably a good candidate for laser hair removal. The only limitation to this procedure is hair color. Because the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair follicle, it is not effective on fine blond, white, or gray hairs.
What areas can be done?
Almost any area of the body can be treated, except below the eyebrow. We can treat between and above, but not below the brows, as it is too close to the eye to use the laser.
Are laser treatments safe?
Yes, laser treatments are completely safe. Lasers generate non-ionizing energy that does not result in the mutation of cells. Medical laser applications have been continuously expanding since the mid 1960s. This increased use of lasers is due primarily to the inherent safety and ability to selectively target specified tissue without harming surrounding structures. Plus, our team uses the latest, most effective and safest equipment. At FLOKA Laser & Spa, we are committed to performing only those treatments that are clinically proven to eliminate unwanted hair. Each of our medical experts has been specifically trained to offer you the safest process possible.
Which laser is best for Laser Hair Removal?
At FLOKA Laser & Spa, we currently use Sharplight IPL technology which is FDA approved, and much safer than laser light technology which can cause severe burns. IPL technology targets the hair follicle, leaving skin intact, whereas lasers, if not used properly can cause major burns and injuries. There are a large variety of lasers on the market, and our team uses lasers that are fast, safe and comfortable. This variety allows us to individually choose the best laser for your skin type, ensuring fast treatment times and unparalleled efficacy.
