Things to Consider Before Treatment
Before you begin treatment, you should consult a physician to determine if you are a good candidate for laser hair removal. You also want to make sure that the person treating you (whether it’s a doctor, registered nurse or licensed esthetician) is experienced. The three most important questions to ask during a consultation are:
- Do you own the laser or rent it? If the doctor owns the laser, that tells me they have a high level of commitment and experience.
- How many patients have you treated?
- What kind of results can I expect?
50-70% Overall Reduction in Hair After 3 Treatments
Although laser hair removal is often billed as permanent, a 50 percent to 70 percent reduction after three treatments, performed six weeks apart, is more realistic. On facial areas, maintenance treatments are usually necessary for complete removal.
Avoid laser treatment around the eyes - on the brow area and in between the eyes. Because laser rays can penetrate deeply, this is an area better treated by tweezing, waxing or electrolysis.
