Laser Treatment for Hair Removal in Lake Stevens

If you have been considering laser treatment for hair removal in Lake Stevens, and have never had it done before, you are probably wondering what is involved. This process, utilized for a more long-lasting solution for hair that grows where you don’t want it, is becoming more popular with men and women of all ages who want a smoother, sleeker appearance.

Simply put, laser hair removal uses a concentrated light beam that is aimed at the unwanted hair. Pigment absorbs the light, damaging the follicle just enough to limit growth in the future. This can be applied to any hair on the body and will last anywhere from a few months to a few years, depending on the individual.

Note that, in order to be most effective, treatment should take place during a hair growth phase. Your cosmetologist can offer advice on the most opportune time for a session. For some individuals, the treatment feels like a pinch and for others, it feels more like the pop of a warm rubber band. It is not uncommon to have a breakout in the area post-treatment, but applying an over the counter hydrocortisone cream usually takes care of it. It is important not to tan (in the sun or from a bottle) before your session as this can draw the laser to the darker skin before it reaches follicles.
