A smooth and vibrant skin boosts one’s self-confidence, but unwanted hair can get in the way. Women waste about seventy-two days of their lifetime shaving their legs.

What Is Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
Laser technology is one of the widely used medical advances today, and it significantly helps in body hair reduction. It is more effective when compared to shaving, plucking, or waxing. Using laser technology, you can eliminate hair growth in the chin, chest, legs, bikini area, arms, upper lip, back, and chest. In case you need hair reduction in any other site, the providers at Serenity Women's Health & Med Spa will offer the service efficiently.
What Sites Can The Procedure Treat?
This procedure treats almost any part of your face and body that has unwanted hair. Some of the popular hair-removal parts include:
· Arms
· Underarms
· Chest
· Legs
· Upper lip
· Back
· Bikini line
The team at Serenity Women’s Health & Med Spa treats many body parts, depending on your wishes.
How Should You Prepare For Laser Hair Removal?
For the days and weeks before your laser hair removal session, your doctors will recommend certain things. Some of these include avoiding sun exposure and tanning, shaving a day or two before the session, and do not wax, epilate, pluck, or use depilatory creams or acid products in the treatment area. Following these guidelines maximizes your laser hair removal treatment efficacy and decreases your chances of experiencing side effects such as accidental skin lightening.
What Should You Expect During The Laser Hair Removal Process?
When you go for a laser hair removal appointment, the procedure begins with a topical numbing cream that takes about 30 minutes to take effect. The providers put protective goggles over your eyes before activating the laser. The laser light targets hair follicles in the treatment area. The melanin in your hair shafts absorbs the light energy, which then turns into heat. The heat then destroys your hair follicles. As the laser pulses, you might feel a popping sensation, but it's not painful. Because the treatment targets individual hair follicles, it can take between minutes to more than an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area.
How Many Laser Hair Removal Appointments Do You Require?
The laser technology explicitly targets hairs that are in its early growth stages. One can achieve results with a single session. However, we humans have thousands of hairs in different stages of growth and grow at varying rates. Therefore, a patient may need up to six visits to achieve full results. After several treatments, about 80% of the unwanted hair will be permanently removed. Depending on your current condition, your specific provider might recommend bi-yearly touch-ups to help keep your body and face hair-free.
