Laser Hair Removal

in a nutshell

Unwanted hair can be an inconvenience for both men and women, prompting many to seek solutions that eliminate the need for constant shaving, waxing or other temporary methods. Laser hair removal is the most effective and long-lasting hair reduction method on the market. At Be CLINICAL, our patients love laser hair removal because it is precise, fast and predictable.

Laser hair reduction targets hair at the follicles, providing a more permanent solution to achieve smoother and hair-free skin. It’s perfect for anyone who wants an easier daily beauty routine.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal treatment offers an effective solution for eliminating unwanted hair. This procedure involves exposing the hair to pulses of laser light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and hair follicles. Melanin is responsible for the color of the hair.

“Laser hair removal is a game-changer for achieving smooth, hair-free skin. It’s precise, fast, and delivers long-lasting results, giving you the confidence to embrace every day with ease.”

Once absorbed, the light energy is converted into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle, particularly the bulb and bulge, which are responsible for hair growth. The heat generated by the laser damages or destroys the hair follicle, preventing or delaying future hair growth.

The goal is to target the follicles during the active growth phase (anagen phase) for optimal results. In order to target the melanin in the hair follicles while minimizing damage to the surrounding skin, we carefully select the laser parameters, including wavelength and pulse duration.

Benefits of Hair Reduction Treatments

At Be CLINICAL we want our patients to achieve the best possible results, which is why we use the Candela GentleMax Pro. It is the most advanced laser technology on the market that can safely treat skin typesI-VI. Using the Candela Pro Max system offers numerous benefits, including:

  • The procedure is suitable for various body areas, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line.
  • Laser hair removal provides a reduction in hair growth over time, leading to long-lasting results compared to traditional methods like shaving or waxing.
  • The Candela GentleMax Pro system allows for precise targeting of specific areas, ensuring effective hair removal without affecting surrounding skin.
  • The procedure is relatively quick, especially for smaller treatment areas, making it a convenient option for individuals with busy schedules.
  • Unlike traditional hair removal methods, laser hair reduction helps minimize the occurrence of ingrown hairs.
  • With consistent sessions, laser hair removal contributes to smoother skin texture, eliminating the need for regular plucking, shaving or waxing.

How Does Laser Therapy Work?

At Be CLINICAL, laser hair removal begins with a consultation, so we can assess your skin type, hair color and medical history. Then we create a customized plan just for you.

Preparation

When you arrive for your treatment the targeted area is cleaned, and if necessary, a topical anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort.

Laser Application

The handheld laser device is then applied to the skin, emitting pulses of light over the treatment area. The laser is adjusted based on factors like hair color, thickness and skin type.

Cooling Measures
The Candela GentleMax Pro system incorporates cooling mechanisms to protect the surrounding skin and ensure your comfort during the procedure.
Post-Treatment Care

After the session, you will be advised about post-treatment care, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using moisturizer and shaving/waxing.

Multiple Sessions

Since hair grows in cycles and not all hair follicles are in the active growth phase simultaneously, multiple sessions are typically required to target hairs at different stages of growth.

How To Manage Hair Growth Between Sessions

We often get asked about managing hair growth between laser hair reduction sessions. The recommended approach is to shave the treated area. Shaving is a safe and effective method for controlling hair growth during laser hair removal treatments.

Shaving is the preferred option over waxing or plucking during a laser hair removal regimen. Waxing and plucking can disrupt the hair follicles, which may affect the laser’s ability to target them accurately. Shaving, however, enables the laser to reach the hair follicles without any disruption, resulting in more successful hair reduction.

What Are The Expected Results?

Results from laser hair reduction include a gradual reduction in hair thickness and density, leading to smoother and hair-free skin.

While multiple sessions are usually required, many individuals experience a significant reduction in unwanted hair after just a few treatments.

Laser hair removal results are different for everyone. You can expect slower regrowth and softer, finer hair. Within the first few sessions, some of your hair will stop growing back completely, and you’ll see patchiness in any regrowth you experience. With more sessions, results will continue to improve. Some individuals may experience long-term hair loss, while others may require occasional maintenance sessions to keep the hair at bay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Patients may experience a mild discomfort often described as a snapping or tingling sensation. Many modern laser devices include cooling mechanisms to enhance comfort during the procedure.
The number of sessions varies based on factors like hair color, thickness, and the targeted area. Multiple sessions, typically spaced a few weeks apart, are required to achieve optimal and long-lasting results. Most people see some results immediately, with a 10-25% reduction in hair after the first session.

After treatment patients are instructed to avoid sun exposure, take cool showers and avoid topical products. You may otherwise return to normal immediately after treatment.

Laser hair reduction offers long-lasting results, but it is not always permanent. Maintenance sessions may be needed over time to address any regrowth.
